One thing that never ceases to amaze is how Paul Krugman has a job anywhere when he is so continuously wrong.
No question that on this site we have been fond of pointing out his many faux pas and foibles.
But sometimes they’re just so stunningly dumb, it astonishes even us.
Krugman was losing his mind, swooning all over Joe Biden and Kamala Harris today.
He’s tearing up, guys, objective non-biased media strikes again.
Surprised myself. Watching the Bidens and Harris/Emhoff entering the Capitol, I teared up. America may make it.

That was like a vision of America as it should be — decent, truthful, committed to justice, unified in diversity. Eloquence at every point. Reality will set in, as it must. But wow.

Barf, was he watching the same Biden who lied his way from the very start of his campaign, even about why he was in fact campaigning, spreading the false claim that Trump said Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville were “very fine people.”
But as gag-reflex producing as those tweets were, then there was the one where Krugman really went over the slide.
Band playing God Save the King? Not exactly appropriate.

Oh my. Apparently Krugman, the guy who likes to preach at other people about how much he knows, doesn’t know what “America” or “My Country Tis of Thee” is? Didn’t we all learn about this in grade school? Perhaps Krugman missed that like he must have missed any accurate classes on economics. It’s the same melody for that and “God Save the Queen.”
He then saw the backlash and tried to cover.
Aha. Forgot there are Americanized lyrics. I guess I've spent too much time Over There over the years.

Can we please stop considering Krugman a serious person https://t.co/IOto4SeRtO

Plus, in pretty much all of our lifetimes, it’s been “God Save the Queen.” Not just wrong, but sexist there, Paul.
Vaunted Nobel laureate who loves to dismiss his political opposites as idiots has never heard of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" https://t.co/jy3I2TNUSC

How anyone still listens to anything this guy has to say is beyond me. You can set your clock to him always being wrong.
