Monday morning quarterbacking from the pundits.
William Kristol: No one could have predicted that I'd say the Gaza incursion is part of the war on terror, and any retreat means the terrorists win.
Roger Cohen: Sean Penn is as bad a writer as he is a good actor. See Milk. But don't bother with Penn's pen.
On Wall Street, fraudulent schemes tend to thrive during economic booms, and to blow up when times turn tough. While bank robbers are getting busier, the Bernard Madoffs are starting to get caught.
Jonathan Weisman And Naftali Bendavid: $300 billion in tax cuts should garner bipartisan support.
Judd Gregg: Hey, I'm a Republican. Over here, I want to talk about the stimulus...
It's true: Republicans lost the election, we lost the Congress, and we lost the presidency. Does anyone still care what we think?
Kent Conrad and Judd Gregg: You're not listening!! Okay, Kent cares, let's try this...
Paul Krugman: The economic numbers are just awful. And the fact is that Keynes was right and Milton Friedman wrong, but that doesn't translate into Republicans admitting it and supporting bipartisan deficit spending to keep us out of a second Great Depression. Will we be bold when bold is required?
Robert J. Samuelson: The stimulus doesn't make up for a crummy economy.
Arthur Leavitt, Jr: If the SEC did its job...
Fareed Zakaria: Homage to the late Samuel P. Huntington.
