Krugman Blog: The Doom of Broder

[n2doc]

Uh-oh. David Broder says the tax deal marks the beginning of Obama’s recovery. The president is doomed.

Remember, Broder declared that Katrina would boost Bush’s image, by showing his forcefulness as commander-in-chief — and then spent the next three years predicting a Bush comeback just around the corner.

And yes, the column is actually titled “Centrist on the rise.” You can’t make these things up.

1. Mr. Inside-the-Beltway Broder is so very out of it.

I read his columns only for their entertainment value. He is so detached from reality it's almost amusing. Almost.

2. I predict that historians will assess the meme of "the political Center"...

as being one of the most destructive myths of the late 20th and early 21st century. Especially for Democrats, as the GOP seems to have figured out how to use this myth to drive the country rightward.

3. If William Kristol chimes in with the same sentiment, you can

pretty much bet the ranch at that point - Kristol has proven himself to be a classic example of "ALL WRONG, ALL THE TIME"!
