‘Crazy as Krugman’: Comment of the Week, and it’s only 8am Monday

October 10, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

You know, an actual by-God new low only comes along once in so often. And it’s a truly monumental barrier to break anymore.

So congratulate yourself, Paul Krugman. You’ve rendered even our most hyperbolic adjectives useless, every simile and metaphor unsatisfyingly inapt to express how low–and crazy–you’ve become.

You, in fact, have broken English, have shone a stark light on its very real limitations to express extremes of degredation.

If we remember your name at all, it will be as the new defining standard: lower than Krugman.

Crazy as Krugman.

Bar fights will be started with insults based on your name.

Wars even.

Again, mazeltov. You’ve outdone yourself.
