Funny, I haven't heard a word from Joe Scar about this...

A near total and embarrassing LIE about Alan Blinder's position that has been made a couple of times by Scar on Morning Joe. Blinder sets him straight and Krugman puts it in his blog...

1. Scarborough wrong? How shocking! (Not really.)

Joe is a hothead. He has a big mouth and an even bigger ego.

I find it VERY difficult to watch his show, and only do so when someone interesting (like Paul Krugman) is on.

It's painfully obvious that we shouldn't travel the same road as other countries have, by cutting too much. We need to focus on creating jobs FIRST. That will increase tax income, and provide a lot more money to work with. Typically, the Republicans are going about it in the wrong way. Of course, deficits weren't a concern for the GOP when they were cutting taxes for the wealthy, starting wars, writing pharma bills, and throwing tons of money into rebuilding Iraq...

2. Scar was LYING. He was deceptive, only selecting a few statements to support his dubious

claim about what Blinder actually said. Krugman did address this in the Rose show debate. But Blinder himself had to come out and smack Joe down.

Joe is a weasel. He didn't have the guts to come out and say he was wrong.
