@Sqrl: This is nothing even remotely new for Krugman. Get a load of this one from three days after 9/11.
After pushing the broken window fallacy and talking at length about how he hopes the attacks help Democrats push forward his agenda, he ends the column with:
I didn't want to mention this, but now is the time to draw the line. This tragedy will only be magnified if it is exploited for political gain. Politicians who wrap themselves in the flag while relentlessly pursuing their usual partisan agenda are not true patriots, and history will not forgive them.
The man is truly beyond parody, and has been for a good decade now.
