Paul Krugman echoes Barbara Ehrenreich's column of a comple of days ago, in which he points out that Michael Moore — unlike the privileged George Walker Bush — comes from an ordinary background. Krugman thinks that Moore — whose tone and political conspiracy theories he does not endorse — nevetheless has performed an essential service by telling stories about the Bush administration that the mainstream media lacked the moxy to reveal. And he makes a good point when he states that Moore's critics point to Moore's alleged distortions, but they have little to say about he Commander in Chief's.
