Three Bush Critics Have Won Nobel Prize

Paul Krugman has joined Jimmy Carter and Al Gore as Nobel Prize winners. Krugman won his for economics. He should know what he's talking about. Al Gore knows what he's talking about when it comes to climate change and Jimmy Carter knows something about peace. They are all fierce critics of George Bush and have been outspoken in their condemnation of him. Sometimes it works to say "consider the source" when refuting attacks, but this is a time when "consider the source" adds to the credibility.

Here are a few things Paul Krugman has said about Bush:

"Mr. Bush retains a public image as a plain-spoken man, when in fact he is as slippery and evasive as any politician in memory,'' he wrote on Oct. 25, 2002.

On Feb. 11, 2005, he referred to Bush as "someone who takes food from the mouth of babes and gives the proceeds to his millionaire friends."

Bush, with his plan to use tax credits to buy health insurance, is "not even trying to hide his fundamental indifference to the plight of the less-fortunate," Krugman wrote on Jan. 22, 2007.

And on April 28 2008, he said the Bush administration "engaged in a game of deception" to hide the true costs of its tax cuts.

In a May 18, 2007, column, he said the president "degraded our government and undermined the rule of law; he has led us into strategic disaster and moral squalor."

Consider the source!
