Richard Littlemore | NYT’s Krugman: Slamming the Fantasy World of Glenn Beck

For others who missed Paul Krugman column from last Thursday’s New York Times, it’s worth a look. Krugman nails the Fox fantasist Glenn Beck for quoting reports that he can’t produce. Krugman says:

“Thus, last week Glenn Beck — who seems to be challenging Rush Limbaugh for the role of de facto leader of the G.O.P. — informed his audience of a “buried” Obama administration study showing that Waxman-Markey would actually cost the average family $1,787 per year. Needless to say, no such study exists.”

You really have to wonder who’s inspiring Beck to make this stuff up.

Beck should be a bloody mess by now, what with all the bashing he’s received as of late.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that Stossel is having a grand laugh at this Waxman-Markey nonsense and all the flak Beck is catching for his views.

Global warming is a catch-phrase — it’s bait to lure us into doing something to clean up the mess we’ve made of our habitat. However, our footprint in this phenomenon is minuscule: as long as there is ice covering a portion of our planet, we are effectively in an Ice Age, which will eventually end due to ‘global warming’.

It is inevitable.
