74. Wow Paul Krugman Cleaned Their Collective Clocks

Mon Jan 28, 2013, 07:20 PM

Jan 2013

His main point was our priority should be on jobs, jobs, jobs, not entitlement reform because job creation is whats needed now and entitlements are 15-25 years out, so why the push for entitlement reform now??? You had Richard Haas, a complete red-ass, scared shitless, Scarborough questioning and in Haas's camp, Ed Rendell, pushing for both at the same time, which is equally ridiculous, and then there's Mika, why the hell is she even there on the show??? She is the equivalent of a parrot. She contributes absolutely nothing except eye candy, with those serious silent head moving stares of hers. She always looks like she's posing, or modeling. Get her off that show. If she is supposed to be there as the Democratic foil to Scarborough then she fails miserably day in and day out. Krugman had answers for them all. And beat each and every one of them with common sense and a smarter policy.
