Krugman has been asking to be traded since winning his Nobel, claiming he wasn't getting the accolades and air time he deserved. And, not it's about the money claims Krugman, "as an economist, who is always right, I have billions."

steve katz, a noted blogger in his own mind sees it differently, "Krugman's got the hots for Megyn Kelly, and can't wait to be a regular on Fox News."
...
Krugman, through word and deed does tell Thomas how big his ego driven Obama vendetta really is:

Krugman is having his 15 minutes and enjoying it, although at moments, as I followed him around last week, he seemed a little overwhelmed. He is an unusual mix, at once nervous, shy, sweet and fiercely sure of himself. He enjoys his outsider's power: "No one has as big a megaphone as I have," he says. "Aside from the world going to hell, it's great." He is in much demand on the talk-show circuit: PBS's "The NewsHour" and "Charlie Rose" on Monday last week, ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos" this past Sunday. Someone has even cut a rock video on YouTube: "Hey, Paul Krugman, why aren't you in the administration?" A singer croons, "Hey, Paul Krugman, where the hell are you, man? We need you on the front lines, not just writing for The New York Times." (And the cruel chorus: "All we hear is blah, blah, blah.")

Murry, the dog concludes, "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even the idiot I have to walk three-time a day, but I say give Obama a chance, he earned it, and he's right." "Next year, when the economy is back on track all Krugman will have to show for it is that Shiksa from Fox News."

3. I was excited when I read "TPM"

I thoughtwe would be linked to a post a Josh Marshall or something.
Instead, I was let down upon discovery that the piece was written by an anonymous comments section reader.

4. Krugman: REMF

5. This line slays me:

"Bearded New York Times op-ed columnist, and Princeton Nobel Prize winning economist, Paul Krugman has been traded by the Democrats to the Republican Party for Andrew Sullivan, David Brock, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, and a minor league economist to be named later."

7. Yuppers, That's a Winner

The Republicans can keep David Brooks though...

[ClarkUSA]

6. Krugman will soon be appearing w/ Dick Morris on Sean Hannity to diss Pres. Obama's economic ideas.

He has the secret shiksa hots for Ann Coulter.

[Mass]

8. Andrew Sullivan, David Brock, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker

So, this idiot prefers the views of Brooks and Parker. Goodie. None of them supports Obama, you realize. They are 100 % further from him than Krugman will be in his bad days.

9. LOL!

No, lets keep Krugman. he is worth 10 of those other fools. That said this was very funny.

[nichomachus]

10. Actually, Krugman hasn't gone anywhere

It's the Dems who have been traded to the Republicans. Krugman is kind of saying the same stuff he's always said. The Democrats are the ones lurching to the center to get elected and then to the far right to govern.
