Hey, Andy gives Krugman an assist:


Here, too, Mr. Bush's past is prologue. I reported in an earlier column the story of Utimco, the University of Texas fund that, while Mr. Bush was governor and the current secretary of commerce, Donald Evans, headed the U.T. regents, placed more than $1 billion with private funds, many with close business or political ties to Mr. Bush himself. Among the beneficiaries were the Wyly brothers, who later financed a crucial smear campaign against John McCain.
("Bush reveals his poisonous colors" was the headline of a piece about that campaign, written by the online pundit Andrew Sullivan.)

UPDATE: Forgot to give credit to Diana over at Letter from Gotham for being the likely inspiration for Krugman's reference to Andy's article.

This, to me, is the potential power of Bloggers- to occasionally push up to the surface an article or fact or idea that would otherwise be overlooked.
