re: #81 Aceofwhat?

Yeah, he’s a Harvard Prof. Real whack job.

Why is it that whenever a democrat listens to an expert, they’re being “data-oriented”, but whenever a republican listens to an expert, they’ve “purchased the expert”?

Here’s a napkin. You have partisan dribbling from your chin…

You brought up Krugman being partisan. That’s why I brought it up. What I’m saying is, you indicted Krugman for being partisan even though he’s CRITICIZING Obama’s polices. And then your example of who to aspire to is a guy who advised Bush and Romney. I’m sure the guy’s brilliant, but I’m also sure that he’s philosophically conservative and ideologically conservative.

Krugman isn’t part of the political system the way Mankiw is, is what I’m saying. AEI is as partisan as it gets, really.
