Frivolous: but I got to say I LOVED Paul Krugman's apology to Stephen Colbert last night

[Nikki Stone1]

He apologized for winning the 2008 Nobel Prize. Clearly Stephen should have gotten it.

LOL!!!!!!!

1. OK, who unrecommended this already?

Jeez!

[joeybee12]

4. Yeah, well, if someone says Obama's tie looks crooked there's

someone here who will unrec it.

[ShortnFiery]

2. If you look up "democratic ruling elite" - there will be Paul Krugman's picture.

I always take his sainted "advice" with a grain of salt. :thumbsdown:

[joeybee12]

3. What book are you looking that up in..

...the Obama can do no wrong, never, not one damn thing book?

[ShortnFiery]

6. Nope, no way. If you follow my comments, I take a jaundice eye on many of these entrenched ...

punditry class and "economic experts" ... their only agenda serves to keep "the beast" in line.

IMO, don't ever take any advice from "experts" without serious consideration of other factors.

Yes, I'm a democrat but not a sycophant of ANY entrenched political elite ... free thinking one.

[joeybee12]

7. You should take everything with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't put

Krugman in the ruling elite...he's far more egalitarian than 99% of the economists out there.

[ShortnFiery]

8. Nope! Krugman's not one of us. He serves the upper 1% - never forget that fact and you

won't be disappointed when the bubble bursts again. :shrug:

[paulk]

12. what "fact" is that?

it's pretty clear that you don't know fuck-all about Krugman.

[mod mom]

10. Well...that "sainted advice" protected our 401K from the many losses others incurred

last fall after I took his advice as to where his $ was. I regularly read his blog and find the twinkle in his big browns charming.

[seabeyond]

5. that is cute. it is so funny how colbert has wiggled himself into every per

retend ego and people play with it

[damntexdem]

9. I can't watch it -- because I refuse to subject my self to the commercials.

Could that be why someone unrecced?

[MissMarple]

11. Commercials are why I love TIVO.

If I watch something on a regular tv, it is so painful I sometimes just turn the set off. Fast forwarding through the commercials is a blessed skill. I sometimes wonder what the advertising companies think of it. ;)

13. The video stops after the WuDunn interview and the program ends so how do I get

the portion of the show with Krugman?
