KRUGMAN DISCUSSING SS AND BANKRUPTCY ON TV!!
....on the Daily Show. hhmmm. Funny how you have to go to "a fake news" show on COMEDY FRIGGIN CENTRAL to see real experts like Krugman discuss real issues...and...without being interrupted and forced to fight off GOP talking points!

Oh the Irony....real news on Comedy Central. Michael Jackson and GOP crafted stories on Cable NEWS channels (and the "liberal networks")

One wonder that poll showed that people who watch The Daily Show showed a higher level of political knowledge than people who watched cable and broadcast news!

1. I like how Krugman said that the republicans
won the election by getting people all worried about "gay married terrorists", but that they did not understand that they were actually voting for the destruction of social security.

3. Krugman is a patriot and very brave to stand against the BFEE.
I missed it, I think the rerun will be on tomorrow, right?

4. Good show tonight
and Krugman was tops.
Kind of a weak audience though - Jon had some good ones they just seemed to miss or were to repug to understand?!?!

5. Really, It's O.K. to say in your Headline that it was...
..."The Daily Show" that Paul Krugman is talking Politics on. You might even get a Huge response.

In fact, I was just about to do JUST that, but now if I did, I'd probably get combined.

.....Dammit.:evilfrown: :silly:

8. yes, awesome. Goes to show you why Krugman doesn't appear...
on "real news shows"....like on Fox, Scarbrough, Harball or those wishy-washy tools at CNN:

They're afraid he would say exactly what he said tonight!
