4. That's what a 'little' knowledge will do for ya, Sam.

5. lol, very good Krugman, I doubt I would have been as polite to stupid

ass Sam.

[Enrique]

6. he's looking to get banned from TV for life

he keeps shooting down their nonsense and they have to take it. How long before they say go back to the university, you buzzkill.

7. Actually, it seems like Sam got cut off

It looked like he was about to offer a counter argument before Krugman jumped in. Not dissing Krugman here, just trying to be fair.

8. No I think Donaldson knew that he didn't know what he was talking about...

so when Krugman corrected him, he was in no position to make a counter arguement.
