Paul Krugman is the #1 ranked economist in the world.

[Frank Booth]

He won the mvp for economists for the 2008 season. Other economits suck.

[Every Man A King]

1. He is also a political nitwit and a free-trading tool n/t

[BeyondGeography]

2. And, as a political scientist, he makes an even greater economist

[Dreamer Tatum]

3. WTF does that even mean? nt

[dionysus]

4. who knows jack shit about how to get a bill passed.

[themaguffin]

9. I don't see his name listed as a House or Senate member

[dionysus]

13. i like paul and tend to agree with his ideas, but the reality is,

the bill has to be modified just to get a couple a-hole republicans to vote for it.

[AtomicKitten]

5. "Other economists suck" --- Comedy gold!

* edited to corrected the OP's typo

[Occam Bandage]

6. And that means that he understands Congressional politics better than anyone. nt

[Connie_Corleone]

7. What's an economit?

[Hello_Kitty]

8. So was Milton Friedman. eom

[Barack_America]

10. What kind of title belt do you get for that?

:shrug:

[Occam Bandage]

14. Why, the World Economit Championship Number One Economit MVP Big Winner Belt, of course.

The WECNOEMVPBWB is very highly desirable.

[Barack_America]

17. That's a great belt.

HIGHLY desirable.

I'm tempted to go for it myself.

But it will take a lot of training. Fortunately, I'm in Philly, so I've got a pretty good example of an "intense training in a short time" montage to go by.

[PBS Poll-435]

11. Umm

Ok.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

12. Economists had an economy-off and Paul Krugman took the blue ribbon.

Chuck Norris is the Paul Krugman of ass-whopping.

[Frank Booth]

15. Damn straight. If Obama wasn't such a wuss he'd send Krugman to congress

to whup some Repub ass.

[Baikonour]

16. I'm starting to think there needs to be a Krugman forum on here..

[YOY]

18. If he were an Accountant he would have FIFO and LIFO tattooed on his knuckles...

He has PPP in metal studs attaced to his nads to show off just how powerful that purchase power parity pushes his pubes.

He's well know for getting all Kenesian on people's assets...

Sorry, this is making me laugh...not to disagree with the mans creds...just the economist as a roughneck makes me laugh...

[Clear Blue Sky]

19. Coaches poll or USA today poll?

[MadBadger]

20. Dude, that's the same Poll.....DUHHHH

AP Poll of course!

:P
