Paul Krugman And Hillary Clinton

August 13th, 2007

Paul Krugman is a columnist with The New York Times, who often critiques the G.O.P. from a liberal perspective. In today’s column, he lambasted two of the leading Republican presidential candidates, as well as the current White House occupant, as being narcissistic. Now, I don’t disagree with his critical comments on Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and George W.Bush. However, what Krugman left out of his column is that the Democratic Party is as saturated with narcissists as is the Republican Party. Foremost among these self-centered Democrats is Hillary Rodham Clinton, mirroring the values of husband William Jefferson Clinton.

What could be more self-centered than to mount a presidential campaign that claims one with no serious experience with international affairs or global economics is “the most qualified” to lead the United States? Krugman points out that none of Mitt Romney’s five sons has served in the military. However, he does not remind us that the husband of Hillary Clinton was a Vietnam-era draft evader.

In his column, Krugman comments on how cynical the Republican presidential front-runners are, by saying stupid things that they are smart enough to know are stupid, because they are trying to appeal to the dumbness factor that supposedly exists among American conservatives. But Paul Krugman has nothing to say in his column about the ridiculous Sopranos video stunt Hillary and Bill Clinton performed on YouTube, or Hillary’s official campaign song contest. Is that not an example of someone obviously intelligent, trying to dumb-down the liberal electorate? Or, if Hillary had actually done a video about her position on the war in Iraq, would that be more irrelevant?

Paul Krugman’s column in today’s edition of The New York Times betrays the disarray that characterizes American liberalism. While rightfully pointing out the poor quality of many candidates within Republican circles, he closes his eyes to the same dismal reality that permeates the Democratic Party.

The Clintons are the very embodiment of political narcissism. By focusing only on the Republicans, Krugamn is facilitating Hillary’s political goals, which will certainly not be any improvement over the current sad situation.
