Krugman does not like George W

He calls W a liar and infers that he was the first president who lied about "fundamental matters" - the tax cuts and Saddam's WMDs. Although I haven't given it much thought, I doubt that W was the first president to do so.  How honest was Lyndon relative to the Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin?  Or Wilson re the Palmer raids?  Truman and Korea?  I suspect the list could go on for awhile if I wanted to spend the time.

Krugman also castigates W as the worst president.  As I've said before, I thought the same thing before Obama.  Now I'm not so sure.
