Clive Crook's Bloomberg view column criticizing Paul Krugman, which we excerpted and linked earlier here, has elicited a ferocious response, including one from a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, Brad DeLong, who, as Mr. Crook summarizes the matter in a follow-up column, posted an item that "exemplifies the intemperance I'm addressing. He illustrates it with a picture of a clown. He also wants me fired. 'Bloomberg has some house-cleaning to do,' he says -- charming, and from a tenured academic, to boot."
Charming, indeed.
