Rumsfeld Cancels New York Times subscription over 'repugnant' Krugman piece

My parents started subscribing years ago, and they haven’t been the same since...

Looks like FR was down for some time. I was working outside, so did not miss much. One of our few liberal (thankfully) neighbors gets the NYT. He is the biggest idiot on our street.

Krugman, “I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.”

Because he knows he is deliberately offending people and he is too chicken-shit to make a statement, then stand up to criticism of that statement. That's pretty obvious to me. Freakin' pansy. I guess expecting someone like Krugman to "man up" is asking a little too much.

Tony Soprano taught a generation of Americans how to be men ;-)

You would know. :)

If the NY Slimes had any decency, they would fire Krugman.

Are you kidding? They probably give him a raise and threw him a small party...

The most hated vicious, nasty, perpetually drunk democrat party hack in America at this particular moment. Universally despised.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Paul.

Isn’t Krugman the rich kid NYT columnist that tried to say that Sarah Palin shot Gabrielle Giffords?

They seem to give Nobel prizes now to extra dumb people.

I’m surprised he had one in the first place, but is this front page news?

Old people like him still like the feel of a newspaper. They aren’t into electronics like young people.

GWB and Rudy never once called themselves heroes. Other people called them heroes because of what they saw these men do and by the actions they took. While Kruegman sat on his ass in front of a computer screen or more likely fled the city, others did the hard work so he could later write crap commentary from the safety of his luxury home.

I am really concerned that Rumsfield was subscribed to this publication this far into the game.

[Rummyfan]

Why did he even subscribe to that fishwrap?

I buy it Saturday and Sunday just for the crossword.

Maybe Secretary Rumsfeld gets it to see how the enemy thinks?

My liberal sister in law was horrified when she discovered that we had canceled. She started referring to my husband (her brother) as “Tony Soprano”. :)

I'll take a subscription to the Bergen Record over one to The Times: much better sports section for one.

The dinosaur's slouch toward the tar pit continues apace.

I find the crossword online....free.

I’m old fashioned - I like to actually use the pen on the paper.

Me too. That's why I download and print them.
