| The Ballad of Paul Krugman |
| 2003-06-17 |
| Paul Krugman went nuts today - a regular happening - with his NYT column "Dereliction of Duty". "Krugman Truth Squad Member" Donald Luskin tears into Krugman's column: http://www.nationalreview.com/nrof_luskin/truthsquad061703.asp Krugman's vitriolic hatred for the Bush administration has created perhaps America's most dishonest and irrational liberal pundit. (Though that's a tough call given the crowded field of candidates just at the New York Times and Los Angeles Times.) In this vein, please enjoy "The Ballad of Paul Krugman" as penned by one Eric Lindholm and posted at Viking Pundit: The Ballad of Paul Krugman (sung to âI Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-Generalâ by Gilbert & Sullivan) I am the very model of a New York Times columnist The facts are inconvenient, my opinion is the very best So listen very carefully as I pronounce with biased zest I am the very model of a New York Times columnist Iâm blind to every transgression by leftist, Green, or Democrats I love a larger government, enamored by more bureaucrats So Iâll encourage statism and ignore every Clinton tryst I am the very model of a New York Times columnist The government exists to generate brand-new entitlements So raise those taxes high, take all the dollars, nickels, dimes and cents And Iâll be sure to vilify those like Hastert, Delay and Frist I am the very model of a New York Times columnist On issues foreign policy, my views are academical Republicans starting wars are treasonous and heretical Unless you are a Democrat, Iâm strictly isolationist I am the very model of a New York Times columnist The war upon Iraq will be a failure âtil we find anthrax I donât care âbout those mass graves or the stories of Saddamâs attacks Donât want to hear about the rape, the torture and his iron fist I am the very model of a New York Times columnist Iâm full of moral vanity and my virtue is beyond review Iâm blind to my own prejudice and operate without a clue With Bush there in the White House, Iâm an eternal pessimist I am the very model of a New York Times columnist |

| #2 Bravo! Let's have one on Maureen Dowd now. She's as plump of a target for musical satire as Krugman. |
