From Joe Klein this morning:

A break from the road trip for one small quibble with Charles Krauthammer: he has now completely abandoned any intellectual integrity he may have had and joined the cult of Reagan mythmaking....Krauthammer used to be an independent thinker, too. Tis a pity he’s a hack, and a smug, reflexive one at that.

That's a small quibble? What would qualify as a big one?
