Meet Obama’s next Fed Chairman
Hoo boy
Hey! He just happens to be a flaming socialist Obama-supporter. What are the chances!
I thought they renamed the Nobel to the Koookiest Lib Alive award.
LOL. He is weak.
AYFKM? Krugman is a hack and an A-hole.
Scrappleface???
Obama was robbed, but I hear he is still in the running for the prizes in Physics and Medicine.
'Paul Krugman Wins Nobel Prize in Economics'Whoop-dee-doo.
Today, winning a Spongebob Squarepants doll at the local carnival has more meaning & value.
Krugman? Of the New York Slimes? He of disrepute in print? The non-Economist of hack writers?
Krugman a Nobel? For what? Mindless rhetoric?
This is right up there with Gore as evidence that the Nobel Committee has lost it’s collective marbles.
As an Economist, Krugman is highly respected. Its a shame that he is hyper-partisan, however, as it often seems to intrude even into his economic opinions.
A joke. Absolutely political.
Comparable to Al Franken winning the Literature prize for “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.”
"Never before has one economist been so wrong about so much, and gone so long without anyone pointing it out. Well, that’s all about to change."

Ugh.
Hahaa... And here I thought the Nobel couldn’t possibly become any more of a laughingstock.

Here is what Donald Luskin of the Krugman Truth Squad has to say about his prize ) :
KRUGMAN WINS THE NOBEL PRIZE The Nobel Prize is never posthumous — it is only awarded to living persons. So some great minds such as John Maynard Keynes and Fischer Black never received the prize in Economics. All that has changed. With today’s award to Paul Krugman, the Nobel as gone to an economist who died a decade ago. The person alive to receive the award is merely a public intellectual, a person operating in the same domain as Oprah Winfrey. And even as a public intellectual, the prize is inappropriate, because never before has a scientist operating in the capacity of a public intellectual so abused and debased the science he purports to represent. Krugman’s New York Times column drawing on economics is the equivalent of 2006’s Nobelists in Physics, astronomers Mather and Smoot, doing a column on astrology — and then, in that column, telling lies about astronomy.
But what’s done is done. The only question now is whether Krugman will pay taxes on the prize at the low rates enabled by the Bush tax cuts he has done so much to discredit, or if he will volunteer to pay taxes at higher rates he considers more fair.
