Could you believe Joe was STILL on his tirade TODAY?!

At some point, Joe's gotta give it a rest because he is looking like he's jealous. Krugman is a rock star. Women and men have secret crushes on him. Sure, he's a bit of a nerd, but that only makes him cooler.

What has Joe Scarborough ever done? He quit Congress without any hallmark legislation left behind. He still has to worry about that rather large skeleton in his closet. He's been wrong about just about everything and he lies about it. He has done nothing in his life worth spit.

And here he is lecturing a Nobel Laureate on Economics 101? A distinguished professor at an Ivy League school (more than one actually) who has written scholarly books and writes for the New York Times in a regular column.

And Joe is a pisher who has spent his whole "career" doing squat...

Nice email! meeshrox Feb 2013 #8

It was actually kinda nice that Joe got tons of emails and tweets pushing back on CTyankee Feb 2013 #12

Joe was totally misrepresenting Krugman's argument, BTW Ligyron Feb 2013 #10

Yeah, and he did say that he would be a deficit hawk if the economy warranted it. CTyankee Feb 2013 #14

Exactly . . . markpkessinger Feb 2013 #15

Joe Scar is like Ron Bergendy, he doesn't' UNDERSTAND Krugman at all. Krugman has to start grunting uponit7771 Feb 2013 #21

I changed the channel when I heard Joe say octoberlib Feb 2013 #11

Krugman denialism all gets down to "Even if I'm wrong I'm right" cthulu2016 Feb 2013 #13

Well, as Groucho Marx once said, "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" CTyankee Feb 2013 #18

They (rightwingers) think Nobel Prizes come in Cracker Jack boxes. Manifestor_of_Light Feb 2013 #16

"small government conservatives" like Joe Scar are enraged because they are impotent thinkers. CTyankee Feb 2013 #20

And did Mika sneer and make that expression that she did when Krugman was on? Squinch Feb 2013 #17

Mika wasn't there today. I think she might have had something to say when Joe compared CTyankee Feb 2013 #19

I don't know. She really appeared to hate Krugman when he was on. I was surprised. Squinch Feb 2013 #22

I think she realizes that this is Joe's BFD. She probably knows that she won't keep her CTyankee Feb 2013 #23

Which is so sad, given that she's supposed to be the Democratic counterpoint. nt Squinch Feb 2013 #24

yeah, well, show me the money and all that... CTyankee Feb 2013 #26

Exactly. nt Squinch Feb 2013 #27
