Niall Ferguson Roasts ‘Krugtron the Invincible’ (FreeBeacon)

Harvard history professor Niall Ferguson roasted New York Times columnist Paul Krugman over his history of erroneous predictions and lack of civility on his blog Thursday on Morning Joe.

Among a plethora of mistaken forecasts, Ferguson noted in particular Krugman’s '180 degree' switch on the danger of the U.S. national debt as evidence of rank political hypocrisy.

Moreover, Ferguson said 'Krugtron the Invincible' lacks the necessary 'humility, honesty and civility' requisite for public discussion.
