It's bad enough when right-wing-nuts like Anne Coulter casually accuse a majority of the country of treason. Now Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate in economics, and a man who ought to know better, has accused the Congressmen who voted against the Democrats' climate-change bill of treason to the planet.

There is a response from the right, and this one involves some attempt at humor, or at least irony.
Treason is a strong word, and such accusations should be reserved for solemn occasions. Mr. Krugman has overdone it this time, and his critics are right to take him to task for it. Unfortunately, he has given them one more excuse to ignore the reality of climate change and its consequences.
