NYT's Krugman: Slamming the Fantasy World of Glenn Beck

For others who missed Paul Krugman column from last Thursdayโ€™s New York Times, itโ€™s worth a look. Krugman nails the Fox fantasist Glenn Beck for quoting reports that he canโ€™t produce. Krugmanย says:

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

You really have to wonder whoโ€™s inspiring Beck to make this stuffย up.
