The Bigger the Bubble…
“What we need to realize is that the infamous “Bush bubble,†the administration’s no-reality zone, extends a long way beyond the White House. Millions of Americans believe that patriotic torturers are keeping us safe, that there’s a vast Islamic axis of evil, that victory in Iraq is just around the corner, that Bush appointees are doing a heckuva job — and that news reports contradicting these beliefs reflect liberal media bias.
“And the Republican nomination will go either to someone who shares these beliefs, and would therefore run the country the same way Mr. Bush has, or to a very, very good liar.”

Can’t let this continue with zero comments! Paul Krugman is one of the best analysts we have. You have an excellent site which I’m enjoying. (I’m a friend of Cheryl Towers, who is a friend of Al Van Dine’s.) Love your quantum mechanics thought and Incompetence Theory too. Thank you!
