"Krugman has a 'big league' NYTimes gives it to liberal shills" Please. Even you can't believe that. They chose him because he had great credentials which they believed would make him effective in a very limited, specialized arena. That he's turned into PAUL KRUGMAN DREADED NEMESIS OF THE RIGHT is entirely due to his extraordinary talents.

ROFLMAO... Even *you* can believe the NYTimes doesnt hire them for their rabid liberal views!!! name 1 columnist (calumnist :-) ) added in the last 20 years who is *not* a Liberal shill. The "extraordinary talents" of Krugman are no different than Frank Rich, or Bob Herbert (sp?) or Dowd or the rest of em ... a Carvellian turn of phrase that constantly demeans and attacks the Republicans and the moderate-right side of issues. Krugman spreads economic illiteracy with each column. It's not 'nitpicking' to point out a man that the left weirdly worships is constantly mis-stating facts.

Well, if you believe that all liberals are "shills" or all liberals are of equal value (zero) then the conversation is pointless.

Krugman is an excellent exponent of the liberal point of view and the times hired him because of both his excellence and his liberalism.
