John Hinderaker at Power Line gives the Bush-deranged NYTimes columnist a much-needed rhetorical paddling over his unreality-based claims about the role of the U.S.S. Bataan in Katrina rescue efforts. An excerpt:

Perhaps Krugman doesn’t know that large naval vessels like the U.S.S. Bataan all have web sites. Perhaps he doesn’t know that there is a tool called “Google” that would enable him to find the Bataan’s web site in less than ten seconds. Or perhaps he just didn’t care enough to go here and read up on the Bataan’s contributions to hurricane relief efforts.

If Krugman had taken the trouble, he would have found that on August 30, the same day on which New Orleans’ levees burst, precipitating the crisis, men and women from the Bataan were already in action, and by the following day they were busy saving lives…

Bad Krugman. Bad.
