Hysterics

Like a lot of Brits today, Harry Hutton seems to derive most of his knowledge of Americans from the celebrity news media, but I think he’s got Paul Krugman nailed:

"Like a lot of Americans, this man is a serious hysteric, either whooping and high-fiving, or sobbing like a baby."

Actually, Harry, a lot of us Americans think Krugman is a moron. 

Lancelot he’s not

So who should be insulted by the knighting of Salman Rushdie, the man whose first name would be spelled like a fish if an ‘a’ was changed to an ‘o’? Not the Muslims. The Muslims, being no more than consumers on the world’s teat, are always insulted about something. No, by golly, it’s Rushdie, himself. So says Harry Hutton, who, having been through a few of these things, really should know.
