Only for a split second, though, on the Cult of Obama:

I won’t try for fake evenhandedness here: most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Mr. Obama, who want their hero or nobody. I’m not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality.

Ok, it must be so obvious that even Krugman concedes it.  But there’s more:

We’ve already had that from the Bush administration — remember Operation Flight Suit? We really don’t want to go there again.

. .<groan>. Well, it was brief, but I should have predicted that.  Was Krugman referring to the “Mission Accomplished” episode, where Bush-haters lent massive inertia to a crudely juxtaposed misrepresentation of Bush’s flight deck speech?   Or is he insinuating that there is a Bush equivalent to the Obama cult?
