Looks like Paul Krugman at The New York Times may have some explaining to do. His recent column looks mighty close to two earlier columns by others.

I can already smell the ozone.

Well, well, well. Looks like NRO's Krugman Truth Squad will be doing a little bit of writing.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gimme Re-write !

[Incorrigible]

A couple of dopes trying get us worried about the Rush Limbaughs of the world blowing up Federal buildings instead of keeping our attention on the Jihadists where it belongs.

Yes, Tim McViegh had Jihadist help. Perhaps Krugman and Steinhardt would like to work that angle.

What you expect Kurgman to work.

[demkicker]

Naw, I'm sure its jus becauze all libs think alike, dontcha know.

[Judith Anne]

Paul Krugman a plagiarist? In trouble at the Times? A scandal brewing?

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.../sarc

And welcome to FR...I think....;-D

[GeorgeW23225]

Another Scandal?????? I think the New York Times maybe in a bit of a quagmire!! hehehe

'ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT. TAINTED WITH A PINKISH TINT".........

[Huck]

That would be so awesome. Is it wrong to hope this is true?

Just another day at the office for Krugman. What he writes in the Times doesn't bother me a bit. Its the garbage he's stuffing into those musheads at Princeton that scares me, and he's free to go about his work with virtually no accountability, and certainly no fact checkers.

Added to the hall of liberal shame, along with:

"If it feels good, do it."

"Bring it all down, man."

"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter."

[Southack]

"What he writes in the Times doesn't bother me a bit. Its the garbage he's stuffing into those musheads at Princeton that scares me..."

You mean like telling his students (see below) that the 1990's would be a decade of economic decline or stagnation?!

TAINTED WITH A PINKISH TINT".........

I believe that's the Financial Times of London.

[Rollee]

What's that sound I hear? The distant shrieking of another news agency mastadon sinking into the vast tar pit of irrelevancy.

HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously Paul's crystal ball wasn't working when he wrote that. But for the tech boom I might have agreed with his thesis. I'm glad to see there are plenty of used doorstops available for $1.60 and up semi-retail. I only buy leftist tomes at the dollar store when they are on special, three for a buck.

My all time favorite is "Why I am a Democrat" by Theodore Sorensen. The man is a walking "bible" of the liberal "playbook" who can cite chapter and verse cold. It's a pristine copy too, untouched by human hands except mine. Hopefully, someday it'll be worth a dime, maybe more.

No, no, no -- nothing to see here. Let's just move on for the sake of the children.
