Being a conservative means never having to say “I’m a dumbass”
October 13th, 2008 |John Hinderaker, August 8 2005:
It must be depressing to be Paul Krugman. No matter how well the economy performs, Krugman’s bitter vendetta against the Bush administration requires him to hunt for the black lining in a sky full of silvery clouds. With the economy now booming, what can Krugman possibly have to complain about? In today’s column, titled That Hissing Sound, Krugman says there is a housing bubble, and it’s about to burst.
Krugman, of course, just won a Nobel Prize in economics and accurately predicted the very housing bubble that Hinderaker dismissed 3 years ago.
Hinderaker, and the rest of his Power Line blog ilk, remains a dumbass.

I don’t think anyone could have anticipated that thing that already happened just because people warned about it. You just can’t take a report titled “
Osama bin Laden determinedHousing Bubble to Collapse Imminently” at face value.Congrats on the Nobel Paul. Well deserved.
Congratulations to my favorite NYTimes columnist. Me likey the award - US$1.4 million.

in short…
Well Krugman used to be good, until he became a liberal.
The Nobel prize used to be good, until the liberals took it over.
So no matter what kids… if Hindraker is “wrong” he’s not, cause those evil liberals must have corrupted it.
sigh…
