The government is bailing out Wall Street for being evil and the car companies for being stupid. But print journalism brings you Paul Krugman and Anna Quindlen. Also, in 1898 Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal started the Spanish-American War. All of the Lehman Brothers put together couldn't cause as much evil stupidity as that.
by P.J. O'Rourke,   Bail Me Out, Mr. Paulson, The Weekly Standard

We can debate whether Krugman is evil, but he sure isn't stupid by any stretch of the imagination.
