Commenting on Krugman "The Wonk Gap"

Today's New York Times column from Paul Krugman is about "The Wonk Gap"

Nothing new here really, just more about the reality gap affecting the Republican Party.

My comment was submitted about 10:15 (2315 Eastern, Sunday, 9/8/13), plenty of time to be posted and maybe get a decent number of approvals.  No, mine was finally released into the wild at 9:30AM Monday Morning, presumably along with all the others emphasizing that what the Republicans have is a problem with the facts.  Because not one of those made it into the top twenty or so of Reader Recommends.

The Gray Lady seems to be going a bit far in emphasizing balance, only one of the "NYT Recommends" made it into the top ten (And it's sinking, as relevant a personal anecdote as it may be).

Even readers and commentators are not allowed to call the Republican Lies what they are.

Plenty of mentions of George Orwell down in the weeds too, my Dad would have loved it.

And if you go down in the weeds and start reading the "all" comments, a scary number of people who still take their facts only from Fox news.

Oh, and the odd clueless one about how maybe it is appropriate to be conflicted about Syria.
