[Wolfie]

I'll get the popcorn..

[econ_grad]

This kind of article should come with the "Oh! Not that shit again poster."

[writer33]

Good one.

[BlueNgold]

Sounds fine to me.
FDR WAS a socialist. Next question...

[Pylot]

Franklin Delano was a socialist, and that is being kind.

I am delighted to hear that GW has remained true to his beliefs for all of these years.

I am surprised to hear that there has been a communist professor there at Harvard for so long but I guess some things never change.

[Sonny M]

For the love of God,

I had Yoshi Tsurumi as my professor last year.

He is a mentally unstable, jackass who needs help, not a column.

Every time this lunatic opens his mouth, my masters drops in value.

He was disturbed then, he's more unhinged now.

[2banana]

Didn't Bush go to Harvard? Maybe they have no one to blame but themselves...

[Leo Carpathian]

Hurray for socialist system crap. It owns everything, devides everything "according to needs" (stuffs the pockets of opressors) so everybody is even (poor and controlled). Smart guys (rebels) go into gulags to work for the moron apparatchiks. Good one, as taught at liberal universities.
(Where is the barf, barf, barf allert?)

[Terpfen]

Professor, if George W. Bush, as your student, was so dumb as to not understand the material you lectured on, why did you pass him?

[Sundog]

Really !!!

(Thing I love about freep is the quick cross-checking possible with people who have first-hand experience.)

[par4]

Yoshi Tsurumi is a professor of international business at Baruch College

Yoshi Tsurumi is the leading crapola salesman for the New England District.

[GSWarrior]

A google search on this professor reveals a history of Bush bashing on a number of already discredited points.

[msp2004]

Where's the barf warning?

[bonfire]

"Every time this lunatic opens his mouth, my masters drops in value."


Great line!

[Grendel9]

"...capitalism becomes corrupt without democratic civic values and ethical restraints."

That sounds good, but the Harvard Professor, sitting in his ivory tower, doesn't seem to grasp the thought that being
on welfare has corrupted many a potential worker, who
now chooses to sit on his duff and collect "his due"
thanks to liberals buying his vote!

Two sides to every coin.

[cotton1706]

President Bush and his rapacious “captains of piracy” of corporate America are destroying America’s democracy built up since Roosevelt’s New Deal era.

Yeehaa!! What an enjoyable article. It's Adam Smith vs. John Maynard Keynes. Social "values" be damned. Let Liberty flourish. My God, how did mankind survive for 6,000 years until Franklin Roosevelt and his beloved safety net came along. Honest John Adams would call this type of thinking rubbish.

[Mark in the Old South]

Re: "He refused to understand that capitalism becomes corrupt without democratic civic values and ethical restraints. In those days, Bush belonged to a minority of MBA students who were seriously disconnected from taking the moral and social responsibility for their actions."

I can not argue with the above statement. The problem is the "civic values" of the socialist party (demoncrats) sends a chill up my spine and the notion of "ethical restraints" and dims is just too funny. That being said Bush is no conservative and his tenure in office is looking like an exercise in manipulation and corporate corruption. His civic values leave much to be desired, if I hear one more time the delusional ranting about Bush being a "Born Again Christian" I will pull my hair out. (Assuming I have any left at days end)

[buwaya]

This guy is something of a Luddite. I get the impression he doesn't think much of scientific approaches to economics.

[Always Right]

I am still trying to figure out what any of the vile he spewed has anything to do with privatizing social security.
