In the words of the Editor’s dear, departed grandmother, “Why, I never …”
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has built a career on his own unique combination of ignorance and arrogance. So we never thought we’d see the day that he admitted he didn’t know everything about everything. He’s been consistently wrong on the economy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, foreign affairs, global warming, and based on the appearance of his beard, personal grooming. Yet, this vast ignorance has never once – until now – slowed the speed of his pompous pontifications.
If they ever give out a Nobel Prize for Ignorance, Krugman should win by acclamation.
