A reluctant correction from the NYT’s Krugman

9:15 pm August 17, 2009, by jgalloway

Last week, the New York Time’s Paul Krugman entered into the “death panel”’ debate, invoking the name of U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson.

Afterwards, there was this. And today, there was this reluctant correction by Krugman:

Correction: In Friday’s column I mistakenly asserted that Senator Johnny Isakson was responsible for a provision in a House bill that would allow Medicare to pay for end-of-life counseling. In fact, he is responsible for a provision in a Senate bill that would allow a different, newly created government program to pay for such counseling.

Krugman-A total anti-business, far left member of that Commie-lib New York Times. That rag is good for one thing: putting it under a leaky faucet. Krugman is a total clown.

The left just ran with the Isakson story last week. Isn’t funny that every single MSM new source, including the Urinal Constipation ran with the story! Its like most of the “journalist” just take each others word for it. Given the history of the NYSLIMES playing fast and loose with the facts, you would think that this would never happen. I would like to point out that Krugman, like Carter and Gore, is a reciepient of the Nobel Peace Prize. All three are liars and leftists.

I’m embarrassed that there are non-thinking people trying to prevent national health care. It reminds me of the simpletons that insist creationism and Christianity be taught in schools. The rest of the world must be wondering what is wrong with the United States.

“Krugman-A total anti-business, far left member of that Commie-lib New York Times. … Krugman is a total clown.”

Definition of clown: one who has $1.5 million dollars from the Nobel in the bank. And also has a mid 6 figure annual income from a university.

How do you get in line?

Is this discussion about Krugman saying that Senator Johnny Isakson was responsible for

provisions in a “House bill” as opposed to a “Senate Bill”? So, in rightwingers nutball minds this

mistake makes Krugman a clown and also proves that Isakson did not support ADVANCE CARE

PLANNING CONSULTATION because Krugman pulled this fact from his butt. I am no longer a

Republican because of this twisted logic. Since the conservatives left the party, only the racist, rich,

and religious right are left, with the rich using the other two. The Terri Schiavo case is a good

example for rightwingers supporting ADVANCE CARE PLANNING CONSULTATION. But

unfortunately their memories are about as long as their weiners. Hey nutballs!!! please take the

“red pill” then we can have an honest discussion.
