This man is a total hack..one of the worst of the worst. The Nobel Prize continues to be the biggest joke. Gore, Krugman, Arafat. Give me a break.

Proving once for all (as if there had been any doubt) that winners of the Nobel Economics Prize are smoking weed with Willie on a continuing basis.

Did Stalin or Hitler ever get a Nobel Prize, or am I thinking merely of Time Magazine’s “Man of the Year” award?

I never even realized that the Economic world even took him seriously. Just goes to show how far Bush hatred gets you.

Obviously, there were no smart economists on the list this year. So... they chose a Democratic Party hack instead. The Left is in hyper mode this election.

He hates Bush.

That is enough.

This is like giving a sports journalist the Heisman.

I guess if the sport's journalist hated Bush enough, he'd deserve it.

They missed giving the prize to Karl Marx, so they’re making it up with Krugman.

Al Gore received one last year too, which pretty much tells you that the Nobel bar has been lowered to Lilliputian levels. Political correctness long ago replaced scholarship and innovation as the intellectual gold standard.

Every year it must get more difficult for them to top the previous year for shocking and outrageous stupidity.

Whatever tiny sliver of credibility and prestige the Nobel Prize still had left
has just been utterly and completely destroyed forever. Paul Krugman, a
demonstrably dishonest bug-eyed fool, won the Economics prize.

What a bunch of dumbasses. The elites have a bunch of sweet tasting but bad for you cottoncandy swirling around in their brains, and they call it deep thinking.

The Peace Price became meaningless after they awarded it to Arafat.

Clearly the dementia suffered by the Nobel Peace Prize committee members has spread to other areas of the organization.

Hate to rain on the mirth, but Paul Krugman as an economist is an excellent economist. The problem is that he sold his soul to be a journalist for the NY Times. As a editorialist, he is a hack. As an economist, however, he is first rate.

What a joke!!

The Nobel in Economics joins the peace and literature prizes as the most corrupt and politicized awards!!!

What a shame! - Where does one get recognition for pure excellence nowdays?

...and has a blog called "Conscience of a Liberal."

Interestingly, it's nothing but a bunch of blank web pages.

These global lefties have lost their friggin minds.

I’m serious.

This is like the part of the Bible that says the truth has fallen in the public square, everything is corrupt.

It’s no wonder out world is melting down.
