    Squawking Nobelized kibitzers?

    The irony! Squawking Nobelized kibitzers? Just...wow.

    Look, people that support Obama really need to take off the partisan blinders. It wasn't good when Bushbots used the same sort of insults to disregard Krugman and Stiglitz (and Richard Clarke and UN weapons inspectors) and it's not good for...uh...Obama partisans to do it now. Drop the fallacy (argumentum ad hominem) and address the substance. If you can't do that, there is a great chance that you have no actual argument to make.
