Krugman, NYT weigh in on ‘death panel’ smears

Paul Krugman wonders how President Barack Obama “will deal with the death of his postpartisan dream ,” then notes he has part of the blame for his lack of pushing and explaining the bill, first, and his lack of passion, second.

In other words, as I have blogged before, we needed William Jennings Bryan and got Kumbaya instead.

The paper, meanwhile, backstops Krugman with details of where the “death panel” claims arose.
