Krugman Kover Klash

Paul Krugman, liberal commentator and medal winning economist, is publishing a book with two different covers. The U.K. edition positively screams with canards:

'...bears caricatures of President Bush as Frankenstein-like and Vice President Dick Cheney with a Hitler mustache. A dark scrawl on the vice president's forehead reads, "Got Oil?"'

Krugman can say what he wants; it is interesting that the cover either: a) expresses his true feelings about President Bush and VP Cheney or b) is attempting to exploit an anti-American marketing niche in the U.K.
