Perhaps the most interesting thing about Sullivan's attack on Paul 
Krugman is the paragraph:

"It will be fascinating to see whether any of the usual left-liberal 
journalist watch-dog magazines or bodies say anything about Krugman. 
The flagship left-liberal media-zine, Jim Romenesko's MediaNews, 
routinely recycles smears against conservative journalists, but 
hasn't mentioned this one..."

Rare indeed that you find someone who calls his own writings a 
"smear"... But perhaps Andrew Sullivan has more self-knowledge than 
most conservatives.
