Watch me make the case that deficits are great for the economy now that Bush is gone and Obama is gonna send the debt into outer space! It’s not about economics–it’s all about the spin, and I am the greatest unbiased hack in the world when it comes to lies and spins.

“Hey Paul, no recession for the two of us, eh?”

Igor Taam November 26, 2008 at 8:03 pm

K.: No, Mr. President, duct tape doesn’t solve all problems.

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

I wish to amend my previous submission to read: “…And me, a man who regularly forgets to wear pants… the President of the United States!”

“Got any good stock tips?”

Harkins November 26, 2008 at 10:54 pm

From your book? Hell no, Paul, I thought of the plan after reading an email from some dude in Nigeria.

Bush: “Wow. You can be dumb enough to lose a debate with O’Reilly on TV and STILL be smart enough to win one of them Nobel prizes.”

Igor T. November 27, 2008 at 12:38 am

K: I brought you pretzels, Mr. President.

Liz November 27, 2008 at 12:58 am

Bush: Santa Claus!!!

Hank Heath November 27, 2008 at 2:06 am

Dismal science, huh?

You ain’t seen nothing, yet!

President Bush and Noble Prize winner Paul Krugman will resume peace talks Jan.21, 2009 at Camp David.

or

Mr. Krugman reluctantly accepts congratulations, sneering smile from President Bush.

Bush: Wait a minute, how’d you get one of them gold medals from the King of Sweden? I thought I went to Japan for the Olympics this past summer.

Katz November 27, 2008 at 9:17 am

So, how come there’s no Nobel Prize for blowing stuff up? The guy invented dynamite, didn’t he?

Mads November 27, 2008 at 9:51 am

Bush: If you are so smart why didn’t you send me a tape with your idears.
Krugman: I thurght you hád Internet in the White House.

Or:

Krugman: Haven’t you read my blogs at all?
Bush: Well you see; reading and information and stuff is now what a persidents time is for.

John November 27, 2008 at 12:35 pm

“Sweden is a socialist country, right?”

“Kruggy, ever thought about moving to Stockholm?”

“Kruggy, is it true that the Economics prize isn’t actually a REAL Nobel?”

Vikram Hegde November 27, 2008 at 2:06 pm

So is your brother the Governer of Sweden or something…

Joshua Holmes November 27, 2008 at 2:49 pm

K: You know, this is kind of ironic. I’ve spent your whole Presidency attacking you in the New York Times.

B: In the what?

Bush: So, Kruggy, why aren’t there any bells? Do they have whistles?

Josh November 28, 2008 at 1:01 am

Due to an unforgiveable lack of proofread, that should have been:

KRUGMAN: So… should we tell Obama I’m really a libertarian?
BUSH: Nah…

jason walters November 28, 2008 at 3:42 am

Stop me if you heard this one. You me and a rabbi walk into a bar…

Jenny November 28, 2008 at 5:19 am

And I always thought Clinton actually said “It’s the stupid economics”

Mark November 28, 2008 at 1:15 pm

Bush: Now that I’m going back to Crawford, will you be going back to doing economics?

Harkins November 28, 2008 at 3:24 pm

So now do you understand what I meant by ‘faith-based solution’?

robert thornton November 28, 2008 at 9:31 pm

I am going to pardon everyone that you hate.

bns November 28, 2008 at 11:12 pm

Mission Accomplished.

Ben Kalafut November 30, 2008 at 5:45 pm

“Krugman”, you say? Do you write for _Commentary_?

Mr. President, you’re such a kidder!

chris huth December 1, 2008 at 9:48 pm

Brace yourself! I’m going to punch you in the dick.
