He called American Hustle heavy-handed at times; I find his parallel between the DPR case and that movie very heavy-handed, the whole time. Talk about a stretch. It seems he's happy to have found a criminal proceeding involving "libertarian derp". Besides this implied negativity (not familiar with Krugman, but his language reveals his standings) and a poignant "amazing stuff" reaction at the bottom, Krugman actually offers no analysis, opinion, reaction, or addition to anything at all on the DPR proceedings. His quoting of this[0] story was entirely framed as an example of why being in the FBI "these days is a lot more fun" than in the setting portrayed in American Hustle. Judging by the title, I was really hoping for a disection of bad opsec decisions. Guess I'll conflate 'krugman' with 'rhetoric' from here on out.

He did this without saying much of anything about either subject while insulting libertarian belief systems with the use of the word 'derp'.
