Pat Caddell: I can’t help thinking Paul Krugman’s a bit of a sphincter

Via the Daily Caller. He didn’t say “sphincter,” actually, but in honor of the “new tone” and because this is, after all, a family-oriented blog, I decided to clean up his language a bit for the headline. Is “sphincter” okay? Or is that sort of rhetoric beyond the bounds of political politesse for which mellow, even-tempered pundits like Krugman and Frank Rich are known and loved? In case so, I denounce myself preemptively.

In case you missed it, here’s a neat move by Krugs from this morning’s column, which was much mellower than Monday’s rhetorical sphincter-lock:

One side saw health reform, with its subsidized extension of coverage to the uninsured, as fulfilling a moral imperative: wealthy nations, it believed, have an obligation to provide all their citizens with essential care. The other side saw the same reform as a moral outrage, an assault on the right of Americans to spend their money as they choose.

Not to worry; Krugman will be gone soon.

He is getting so frantic that he is running in circles. Once he starts into circles of an ever-decreasing radius he will run up his own a$$ and disappear.

I’m calling out your comments for recognition as to at least a “FR gem!” LOL

A rather LARGE bit of a sphincter. Krugman brings absurdity to a whole new level.

Can we go ahead and make Pat Caddell an honorary Republican? He's more conservative than half the RINO's in the Senate.

As Cheney would say...Big Time!

[dforest]

Well, yes he is, but Pat, lets all be civil now.

an assault on the right of Americans to spend their money as they choose.

Uhhh YEAH!! I realize you are of the belief Americans should only spend money they way the government chooses, but fortunately most Americans and even some liberals believe otherwise.

Krugs, where did you get your schooling on economic policy? The University of Phnom Penh, Class of 1976?

[central_va]

The “civil” way to put it is anal pore.

[Da Coyote]

He’s a “used pie hole”.

[KoRn]

I believe he said “asshole”.

You shouldn’t make up headlines. :p

[freepersup]

Bro! I laughed my arse off with that comment (as I am being serenaded by Ray Charles via Mark Levin.) Surreal... lol, too surreal.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yes. Krugman is trying very hard to be a “clymer”.

[Parody]

I guess that works about as well as anything else.

[freepersup]

God bless you and God bless your sweet comment about the “BIG TIME” man! lol

No but he does deserve the title “Honorable Democrat”. They are truly an endangered species. I think I have only seen five or six of them.

He’s a “used pie hole”.

One of my favorites is from "The Canterbury Tales." The term is, I think, from the Miller's Tale. It is "nether eye."
