KRUGMAN EATS OKRENT FOR LUNCH! Krugman toyed with his foppish tormenter—and told an important tale

SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 2005

LET’S PLAY KISS-BALL: Luckily, there are no serious problems in the world to discuss. If you didn’t understand the dynamics involved, you’d think this was a joke. Rom today’s Post, here’s the synopsis of tomorrow’s Chris Matthews Show:

The Chris Matthews Show. Topics are Howard Dean and presidential college grades; with NBC's Andrea Mitchell, Vogue's Julia Reed and Time's Joe Klein and Andrew Sullivan (Channel 4 at 10 a.m.). Presidential college grades! This refers, of course, to the past week’s “revelation”—John Kerry’s grades at Yale were about the same as Bush’s.

Luckily, there are no serious problems in the world to discuss, so Matthews can afford to clown with this topic. By the way, can’t you hear the talker’s secret message to Bush? We think we can hear what the talker is saying: Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss.
