You once quoted Paul Krugman, I forget which thread, I am sure Don H can dredge it up though..:)....as a source for a doom and gloom prediction on something...Bush tax cuts pop into my memory for some reason. I thought of this today when I saw one of Krugman's latest comments. He shoots himself down. It's great.

Apparently, America's most dangerous liberal pundit who is also an economics professor at Princeton has had to give up making not-so-brilliant predictions about the U.S. economy, as Krugman Truth Squad member Caroline Baum noted in an e-mail to me. In fact, they've all been so spectacularly not brilliant that Krugman was forced to say on Tim Russert's CNBC show several weeks ago: compare me, uh, with anyone else, and I think you'll see that my forecasting record is not great
How great is that? One leftist economics professor comes clean. :)
