This over-the-top piece of garbage by Krugman requires a response in kind. Instead of stating the obvious; that he is a jerk, an a##hole, and all the befitting descriptions, how about if some of the experts in the Nobel prize liberally motivated awards, investigate why this jerk was given the prize in 2008? Was it because he is a genius or just to reward him for being a rabid leftist loon who spare no effort to denigrate G. Bush?

Was it because he is a genius or just to reward him for being a rabid leftist loon who spare no effort to denigrate G. Bush?

This is a rhetorical question, right?

Krugman "earned" his reward just like Gore, Obama and Yasser "won" the Nobel Peace Prize. Simply "being there" (as in the movie, Being There) as a liberal is credit enough.

They are like trophies given to every Little Leaugue players for being participants, not for outstanding performances
