You can now add Krugman to the list of 'fine' Nobel winners: Arafat, Gore, UN IPCC.
Krugman is a joke amongst economists. There was no doubt the the Nobel prize is an instrument of leftist politics. Just another application of the same.

Proving once for all (as if there had been any doubt!) that winners of the Nobel Economics Prize are smoking weed with Willie on a continuing basis.

I hear that guy Nobel got rich in explosives. Maybe the ATF should investigate this Krugman guy < /sarcasm >

This is just a modern-day remake of the “Emperor has no Clothes” fable. Both the Nobel Prize committee and Krugman can have starring roles...

I’m confused. I thought they picked economists for this prize.

Every time I've read Krugman the last few years I've thought to myself 'I had 4 classes in economics in college, and I've got a better handle on the subject than this bozo.' If this were a one time deal I could write it off as a fluke, but between the recent sneering at the U.S. by the Nobel literati, giving Gore a 'peace prize' for Global Warming alarmism, and giving a Nobel for the development of MRI scanning to a couple guys who refined the imaging technique instead of Dr. Damadian, who actually conceived the medical utility, proved it out, developed the technique, prototyped and built the first scanners, because he's a Christian, well let's just say the Nobel has become a laughingstock. (OUCH, I apologize for that run-on sentence....)

I think Obama was robbed. But I hear he is still in the running for the Physics and Medicine prizes.

I’m sure his fine work with Enron also contributed to this lofty achievement.
What a joke the Nobels have become.
BTW, you left Jimmy Carter off your list.

Krugman is a joke amongst economists. That is far from the truth. Though Krugman's columns are incredibly one sided and lacking at times, his economic work for which he won the Nobel is top rate. His work on international trade is widely regarded in the economics field.
While it can be argued that the award at this time seems very political, there is no doubt that Krugman did deserve it at least eventually.

The Sun now sets in the east.
The Summer is the new winter.
Krugman, the Socialist, wins the nobel prize for economics.
Obama is supremely qualified to be POTUS/CIC.
The world feels like it is turning upside down

Seriously?? What research has he ever done? What a joke. I deserve that Nobel prize more than he does. And, I don't deserve it.

Paul Krugman, nobel laureate. How old was Milton Friedman before he was recognized? And to add insult to injury, the moist-eyed Krugman left us with the horrific image of how he was informed of the prize: “I was stark naked and about to step into the shower....” It makes you shudder that such a mediocrity is put in the same class as the great Milty.
