New York Times’ columnist Paul Krugman wrote an op-ed piece today entitled “Senator Bunning’s Universe.” Krugman attacks Bunning for temporarily holding up a temporary extension of unemployment benefits. Then he broadens his attack on ”Planet G.O.P” in general.

Harold Ford Jr. chickened out of challenging the Chuck Schumer-annointed Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the New York Democratic primary.
