Kudos to Paul Krugman for recognizing how silly it was for Hillary Clinton to suggest bringing Alan Greenspan back to address the current crisis. After his column earlier this week I’d begun to wonder if he’d ever allow himself a word against her. Apparently so:

OK, this is pretty dumb. Hillary Clinton wants a high-level commission to analyze ways to resolve the mortgage crisis — including Alan Greenspan.

Yes, I know people still listen when Greenspan speaks — and John McCain once joked about taking Greenspan’s advice even if he’s dead. But for those in the know, AG is a key villain in the whole affair.

I mean, why not add Charles Prince, Stanley O’Neal, and Angelo Mozilo to the commission?
