Krugman sounds the tocsin*
And with good reason:
The rest of us can only hope that Krugman is not treated like Cassandra, she who was always right and never listened to.

What all this shows is that the G.O.P. has been taken over by the people it used to exploit...Years ago, the GOP leadership chose to ride the tiger and now they are paying the price. They can't get down from the saddle because they no longer control the beast.
...Real power in the party rests, instead, with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin (who at this point is more a media figure than a conventional politician). Because these people aren’t interested in actually governing, they feed the base’s frenzy instead of trying to curb or channel it. So all the old restraints are gone...
...The point is that the takeover of the Republican Party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. Something unprecedented is happening here — and it’s very bad for America.
The rest of us can only hope that Krugman is not treated like Cassandra, she who was always right and never listened to.
