In whose interest are they working?
Surely I can’t be the only person to wonder how much of the sometimes insane shrillness of DeLong and Krugman (especially the latter) comes from having their hopes of getting a sinecure with a Gore or Kerry administration so rudely dashed.
That said, at least DeLong still often has interesting stuff to say, as opposed to turning into a complete partisan hack a la Krugman.
