Still Idiots: George Will and David Brooks

Caught a bit of ABC's This Week this morning and George Will, who clearly had forgotten that last week Paul Krugman had schooled him on this very point, proclaimed again that "the New Deal didn't work," citing 1937. Paul wasn't there, but Arianna Huffington quite appropriately called this a "conservative myth" and Robert Kuttner followed up with devastating details.

David Brooks, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten his crystal pyramid stuck - somewhere - and wandered off into some sort of New Age fantasy. How refreshing to have a couple of non-idiots on board as a corrective.
