Roberts might be the smartest Republican alive, but he's being a bit arch if he's pretending to say that Krugman is anything but a staunch establishment economist.  Krugman's no teabagger, but he's no raving leftist, either, no matter how vivid Robert's fever dreams.  Regardless, the word's smartest Republican versus the smartest establishment economist at the Times is reason enough to contribute to the Counterpunch fundraiser!
