"compare me, uh, with anyone else, and I think you’ll see that my forecasting record is not great" ~ Paul Krugman

The New York Times never ceases to amaze me; however, in this instance it's actually for the better. Paul Krugman, the raving assclown "economist" of the Left, has been torn apart by his former public editor at the Times for his ridiculous distortion of economic statistics to promote his own biased opinions and assertions. In his final piece in The Times, Okrent comments on how Krugman, "has the disturbing habit of shaping, slicing and selectively citing numbers in a fashion that pleases his acolytes but leaves him open to substantive assaults." After Krugman asked for some valid proof of Okrent's assertion, Okrent hammered back. Kudos. ~ Rich
