Attack From the Left: Paul Krugman's Poison Pen
"'Obama offered a weak health-care plan,' he explains, 'and he had a postpartisan shtik, which I thought was naive.'" I'd hardly call Krugman anti-establishment, but he does seem to have more scruples than I imagined. And certainly Dean Baker or Doug Henwood (a former Republican turned radical of sorts) are harder critics from the left -- with better track records.

Only Greentech Can Save U.S. Economy, Says Über-Investor
'"The politicians' response should be, 'Get used to it,'" said Novogratz of the emerging energy crisis now fuelled by rising oil costs. He was particularly scathing of Hillary Clinton's gas tax holiday, which he called "the stupidest idea I ever heard."'
