Is the video of this anywhere on the Internet?
THAT expression is worth a thousand sound bites!
I saw this show, and O'Reilly overwhelmed Krugman, in every way, even physical size. Krugman came across as a little smug guy. O'Reilly was all over him.
Sounds like O'Reilly was really fired up and well prepared for his debate. Too bad it happened on NBC. On FNC it seems like he is being subdued to the point of wishy-washiness in an effort to be "fair and balanced." I would rather see him unleased, even if I don't agree with him all the time.
O'Reilly is going to show it tonight. This is MustSeeTV. Krugman looked like a cornered rat! Hands shaking, playing with his sleeves, neck sunk into his shoulders... Priceless.
He also lied about the recount. His only paper has this article online still:

Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote
November 12, 2001
A comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots from last year's presidential election reveals that George W. Bush would have won even if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the statewide manual recount of the votes that the Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward.
Having watched this I would say Krugman was scared silly or he has Parkinsons because his hands were shaking like mad and he had to grab them to stop the very noticable shaking.
Krugman is nasty, vicious liberal who lives in a very sheltered NY liberal world. I doubt he has been in any situtation or setting where his views have been challenged.
That's the problem. Krugman came across as a little smug guy at the beginning of the interview, he stayed that way throughout the interview and he left holding the same belief.
We really have two Americas, as John Edwards says, and we're talking past one-another. Someone else said that on a left-wing forum the threads read like Krugman whipped O'Reilley, and I'm sure that they believe that he did.
Mr Potato Head was so flummoxed by the exchange it looked like his eyes were going to bug right out of their sockets.
I'll be watching O'Reilly tonight.
He is one of the few who seem to understand that to soundly beat someone rhetorically, you have to hang them with their own words and their own principles.
You have to make it obvious to them that they are full of crap based on their own criteria. They will still deny it, but everyone watching and participating will know what's going on.
I know O'Reilly can go all over the map on his positions, but I would rather see him debate insted than some grinning chucklehead like Bill Kristol or Tony Snow who don't know how, or don't care to cut off nonsense at the pass.
I hope someone uploads it, as I don't have cable.
Krugman was so rattled he actually used the non-word "ascared".
Score one for O'Reilly. Much better than his Moore interview.
But why does O'Reilly insist on saying the Iraq war was a big screw up. 1.Why can't he see that based on the information Bush had, it was the only responsible decision to make. 2. Bush has a grand vision of a democracy in the middle east. 3. This war against terrorist insurgents is absolutely vital to the success of the war on terror.
Ass and A$$hole
