I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
About meeting Paul: "I have looked evil in the face. I've been in the same room with it. I don't know how else to describe my feelings now except to say that I feel unclean, and I'm having to fight being afraid."
It sounds like grounds for a restraining order.
Objectivism: Taking the enlightenment out of enlightened self interest.
That Luskin is out of his mind. If it was me, I would be filing a restraining order against him about now.
Luskin is starting to sound like a character out of a psycho-thriller movie.
Wow, Donald Luskin LOVES the MELODRAMA! That whole piece is so bad--like his epiphany that people admire Paul Krugman because he tells them that they shouldn't rely on themselves to the Grover Norquist defense--that it defies reason!
I think Donald needs an intervention. For someone who complains about excessive rhetoric on the part of liberals, he sure knows how to dish it out.
The degree of Luskin's depravity is that he calls brownshirt shit Norquist a 'libertarian'.
What a worthless waste of skin Luskin is.
That dude is just completely fucking insane. Krugman could use this weirdo's website to get a restraining order. And he ought to, 'cause Luskin seems like the kind of guy who's gonna come after him with a knife one of these days...
I have a fair amount of experience dealing with fans (you know, Buffy, Trek, x-Men, whatever) and I know crazy when I see it. This guy's certifiable.
Now the question is, is he dangerous? That I don't know, but I wouldn't want him around my table at a convention. Seriously.
Shorter Don Luskin: "Paul Krugman is SATAN!
As Randy Newman once said:
Jeeeezus, wotta jerk! /
Poor Mr. Sheep...
-dave
that was some scary shit. from the description, krugman must have soiled himself when he realized who it was. anyone out there want to speculate on why luskin is so obsessed with Krugman?
And what if he did win the Nobel prize? Wouldn't that be great?
Shorter Don Luskin: "Paul Krugman is SATAN!
WTF? Sorry about that...
I can imagine Luskin as the James 'Buffalo Bill' Gumb character of "The Silence of the Lambs", digging out a dungeon in his basement...
"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. You hear me!!!"
:-o
Shudder to think!!!
Paul Krugman is "evil"? Poor, stupid Donald.
More like "Diary of Travis Bickle"... or Rorschach...
Someday a real rain'll come along... wash all the street clean!"
Also Shorter Don Luskin: "The huge success of Paul Krugman's book should be MINE!!!"
-dave
Is Luskin really anti-Krugman or does he write like this for comic effect? This guy acheives hitherto unexcavated depths of pettiness. His paragraph on "a number of corrections" being 3 is high comedy. His Fountainhead take is precious. I hope Krugman travels with a security guard. How pitiful is Luskin? A couple of weeks ago he was linking to Krug's book and now he's getting one signed.
Reminds me a bit of Atrios's account of his own Hitchens stalk.
Dude's crazy
I used to live in SD. I hope Luskin does not stay there long, It used to be a nice place.
i heard luskin is actually sully's gay lover.
"yes, yes, my precioussss...."
yes, but my little visit with hitchens was totally tongue-in-cheek. this guy's serious.
i see, if you actually bother to read this, luskin has realized his enemy is not krugman, but "the people".
what a freak.
Luskin really wants to have sex with Krugman, doesn't he?
Why can't he just come out and admit his man-crush?
Jeebus. I knew he was stupid, but clearly he is certifiably insane!
Personally, I like the paragraph where Luskin describes how he got his book signed and Krugman "realized" who he was. Somehow, I really doubt that...
What a maroon...correction, what a deluded, puffed-up, tedious maroon whom I can now avoid with complete peace of mind.
I just read Luskin's article. "I don't know how else to describe my feelings now except to say that I feel unclean."
Luskin on Bush fans: "And the cheering audience suggests that there's quite a market out there for fear."
Oh, wait -- he wasn't talking about Bush fans.
.
It's Krugman's fault that I'm forced to write all these things--THE REAL TRUTH--about him! He forces me with Thought Control Waves from his EVIL EVIL MIND! HIS EVIL MIND OF LYING ECONOMIXS! EVIL MIND CONTROL BEAMS FROM HIS EVIL ECONOMCS MASTERS IN ALPHA CENTAURAY!
And he'd better just acknowledge that he's my father and start returning my many letters. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I LOVE YOU, PAUL! THIS I DO FOR THE SAKE OF TRUE LOVE!!!!!!
I'm sending my ear in the next letter, Paul, and it's all your fault, Evil-O!
Anyone who can actually remember definitive bits of Ayn Rand's "prose" is automatically suspect, because remembering said text means 1) enough of it actually sank in to make an impression; and 2) the reader has a mind-boggling tolerance for stunningly bad prose filled with even worse ideation. Either of those two qualities on their own would be enough to down-check someone, but together...!
(Luskin doesn't seem to realize that even those "low, safety-netted expectations" look pretty good to some people, especially those who run the risk of meeting sudden violent death if they stay in their 'high-expectation, non-safety-netted' home countries, I suppose.)
I knew this guy was off the high side as soon as he said "safety net," as in "social safety net" like it's a bad thing. Repetez-apres moi: A high standard deviation in societal wealth is a bad thing which doesn't do anyone any favours. (I like my social safety net. Go ahead and shrug, Atlas. Watch the news from wherever you decide to go and see if we even notice. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you...bitch.)
Great fun to read such a creep -- assuming he's harmless.
He's one of those Ayn (rhymes with "swine") Randians, clearly...
If he spends his free time wanking over "The Fountainhead," he can't be that dangerous, right?
Don't sweat the shower, Luskin. They always hose you down just before they toss you into the rubber room.
Future generations will access this dark tale of obsession through a permalink.
He also says his speech was "...tight, crisp, funny and (hold on now) PERSUASIVE." Perhaps, that's because Krugman is also RIGHT!
It's obvious that being in the sheer animal presence of the Krenis has driven Luskin into a freezing of self-loathing and repressed desire. No wonder he feels "unclean".
Wow. Wow. That blew my gourd. Sorry Atrios, but Poor and Stupid has to be my new favorite blog (but, for the opposite reasons yours was).
Wow.
It made me want to go into Luskin's room at night and whisper, "Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman... Best selling author Paul Krugman...Federal Reserve chair Paul Krugman... Treasury Secretary Paul Krugman... American Idol Winner Paul Krugman... President Paul Krugman..."
But seriously folks, night terrors are no laughing matter.
It's like Notes From Underground written by the Wall Street Jounal editorial page.
Yeah, right Luskin, we are going to grow our way out of the deficit. Mind telling us how? Got something like the industrial revolution, WWII, or the internet boom around the corner you are not telling us about? We live in a global economy, our salaries are among the highest in the world, tell me again where growth is going to come from?
I think he is a very sad man.
Oozing with high-grade, green-eyed, envy. If he doesn't realize that the column exposes a lot more of his shortcomings(to be generous)than anything about Krugman, he is a dolt.
But as farce, it's brilliant. I can't believe it's not farce. What a clever writer. Not!
What a moron this Luskin is.
Atrios:
Can you now please acknowledge that the word "shrill" might apply to someone other than Paul Krugman?
I mean, this guy Luskin seems to have genuinely slipped a cog. I had an email exchange with him recently and he accused me of being part of a dangerous cult that has to be stopped. He seems like a real loon.
And you call Krugman "shrill"?
You guys missed the whole point - this is Randite haute comédie, a genre that's just about at camp status, if you ask me. Of course, the Randites just might spoil the whole thing and become self-aware too early, but I could live with that as well.
"Shrill"? That's not the word I'd use -- to me it suggests unjustified, perhaps out-of-control, anger.
Paul's anger is entirely justified, and I have no problem with the way he expresses it.
If someone has a counter-argument ...
.
shit, he lives in SD? Prolly lurking around la jolla as I type. . .
(glances nervously over shoulder)
btw, does Luskin still live with his mom? That might explain things.
Oh you are spot on Seb, Luskin totally still lives with his mom.
As for the shrill comment, I'm pretty sure Atrios is being fascitious. Shrill is what all the rethugs call him because they can't contest the facts.
Creep O TRONIC.
shrill's just a joke, copernicus. All the right wingers had settled on the word 'shrill' for krugman awhile back, so I just use it to make fun of them.
If Luskin wants to be afraid, he should dress up as an old woman at an arnis rally.
So he wanted to get his book signed, and let Krugman know who he was, face to face.
What a weirdo. Egotist weirdo.
For crying out loud!
What or who is Luskin?
Luskin is someone made into a celebrity by the likes of this board which should not be encouraging the freak by giving him inches on this page! That's who he is.
If Krugman is worried about this guy then he has the resources and the nationwide exposure to get something done.
Otherwise quit giving people like these their 15 minutes. If we do then some nut is going to mimic what Luskin is doing.
MYOB'
.
Pretty funny.
On one hand "three" is NOT "a number"
On the other hand, ALL "senior aides" are in the White House.
Brain.
Hurts.
Even shorter Donald Luskin:
I despise liars like Krugman who believe that "to disagree is to lie."
Wow. Double dog wow.
Stop picking on my boy! Get out of here!
(swings her purse wildly)
What a pathetic loser.
Note to Luskin: the VP and his aides among others are not "in" the White House.
It sounds like Salieri talking about Mozart in "Amadeus."
My sympathy for Krugman. What an infantalizing, sarcastic, patronizing remark by Luskin when he met Krugman. "Now you keep up the good work, Paul."
Ah, Donald Luskin....the bag lady of political blogs.....
All Psycho Donny is doing is making Krugman look better and better and certainly more reasonable than Psycho Donny.
Let's see, Psycho Donny hates Krugman so much that he has to follow him everywhere and list all the places Krugman's going and keep track of every sinlge word Krugman's written.
Hey Psycho Donny, the reason Krugman muttered is because you probably had your evil, stalker grin on your face. Paul Krugman probably knows a mentally disturbed individual when he sees one and he wanted to get away from you as quickly as possible before you give him a big, wet, sloppy kiss.
Seriously, Krugman needs a restraining order against Psycho Donny and soon.
Anyone else think Psycho Donny has pictures of Krugman all around his pad on the walls.
Perhaps the kind thing would be to take up a collection for the surgery Luskin surely needs to correct his now permenantly retracted testicles after that harrowing ordeal.
It looks like Luskin lives up in Menlo Park, which is not San Diego, thank you very much.
Jeez, we've already got enough problems with Comic Book Guy Den Beste
Two points:
1) Is there any external evidence Paul Krugman actually knows who this guy is?
2) He finds himself face-to-face with pure concentrated evil and his preferred course of action is to get him to autograph his book?
s/n:r
Luskin definately does descend to levels of tawdry pettiness.
Well, just consider his owns words, for therein the truth lies: the trouble is not Luskin, but those who adulate him.
Think about it. There are people who actually really read what he writes, and take it seriously.
Wow. Last time I went to Luskin I pleaded not to be sent back again. This time, I can't believe how much fun it was. As Dora says: What was your favorite part?
I liked the part where he said "three is a number but not a number of."
Yeah, and I liked the part where he channels the fountainhead to explain his loathing of the people.
Yeah, and my absolute favorite part has to be consulting with Barlett about who really deserves the Nobel prize.
Luskin deserves his own prize, Schwarzenegger for governor. I hope the people disappoint him.
Fun with nutjobs....
I sent Luskin the following letter (donning my wingnut hat):
Whether "three" is "a number of" I'll leave for others, but "senior
aides" could be in the Pentagon or the State Department. It is not the same as "the White House." You don't do the cause any favors with overblown
hyperbole.
And here's his response (from Don@Luskin.net):
Dream on. "Aides" only means one thing. Unless you are Bill Clinton.
Then it means two things.
Luskin can be helped by chemistry. Many industrial processes require the use of anti-foaming agents. A variety of these agents are available commercially and they are not expensive.
And I thought you (and Billmon and others) were joking when you called him a stalker.
"Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman... Best selling author Paul Krugman...Federal Reserve chair Paul Krugman... Treasury Secretary Paul Krugman... American Idol Winner Paul Krugman... President Paul Krugman..."
Ooooh yeah. Love it.
Tee hee. I just emailed Rick's whisperings to the loon.
This "man" is not funny. This is not a harmless joke. Luskin, who I took before to be simply a weak willed moronic nerd, has shown himself, as Krugman must have realized when he looked up at him, to be truly dangerous.
A restraining order is in order but certainly this psychotic loser needs help before he "takes matters into his own hands."
He sees himself as Timothy McVeigh saw himself... a bulwark against the world which did not understand the truth of the Turner Diaries. For Luskin replace that with Ayn Rand's pseudo-intellectual ravings and sad self revelatory posturings.
It is a matter of time only before this poor, sad, mad, loser decides to make a name for himself by purging the world of the infectious evil surrounding him poised for attack.
You know, this Luskin guy really does worry me. His writing sounds almost identical to that of a schizophrenic person who stalked one of my family members for several years. It's not a laughing matter.
I don't want the next time I read about him to be in conjunction with a news story of how he tried to (or managed to!) assasinate Mr. Krugman. What a chilling thought. Luskin is a nutjob. End of story.
Also, word, Allan J. It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered by a psycho f*ckhead.
God, what a freak. Luskin thinks Krugman is the Anti-Christ, blathers nonstop about how evil Krugman is, yet he peddles Krugman's book to people and even gets Krugman to autograph a copy for him. I would be very worried if this weirdo were obsessed with me like this.
Yipes, I'm doing grad work at UCSD. Maybe I should be on the lookout.
I sort of get the feeling that "The Fountainhead" is this guy's "Catcher in the Rye". uggh.
Luskind wrote me back. Eek! Now he's stalking me. Good thing I use an anonymous email.

Liar Paul Krugman.
what the...? I closed that tag! I swear!
(Also, am I guilty of revealing a source for reprinting his email here? -- If I can do it, why can't Novak?)
Dont do that shit to me again.
I swear to god it was like being in the mind of gollum.
I could just hear that raspy voice talking about "my precious"
If I want to trip like that I will just take some shrooms or something.
I feel dirty and slimy
My favorite thing is that hating Krugman and fervently believing that Krugman is spreading poisonous lies doesn't stop Luskin from trying to grub a few cents off of Krugman's book.
Whatever. If you have to buy the damn thing, buy it from me by clicking here.
Ha! Hahaha!! Apparently there is no evil so vile that you can't still, without shame, make a few bucks off of it.
Seriously, though. Krugman needs to get a restraining order. Luskin is delusional. I loved the Casablanca quote at the end of that post. Luskin thinks he's a hero. Either that or he thinks that he's an exiled and secretly cuckolded leader of the French resistance. That could be it, too. Crazy people get funny ideas about things.
Repeat after me...
3 is not a number.....
3 is not a number.....
3 is not a number....
Well, the definition of modern celebrity is to have your own stalker (or three), but Krugman's been getting death threats I read somewhere, so this is no joke. How about not giving this nut job any more of the oxygen of publicity he so desperately craves?
Yipes, I'm doing grad work at UCSD. Maybe I should be on the lookout.
Never hit refresh in Opera, never hit refresh in Opera.....sorry all.
Copernicus:
You do know that when Atrios calls Krugman "shrill", he's parodizing the Kewl Kids and their gang who use that term to dismiss Krugman, don't you?
Just checking.
"I had an email exchange with him recently and he accused me of being part of a dangerous cult that has to be stopped. He seems like a real loon."
That's hilariously ironic, given that Luskin is a Randian.
Ayn Rand is where fundamentalist American Christians go when they realize what a farce their religious views are. They latch onto another dogmatic and exclusivistic creed and stick to it like a well-trained dog.
That their political views stay essentially the same never seems to merit the same kind of examination as their previous religious views....
I do not know any professional scientists (outside of some fringe economists - and economics is not remotely on the same level quantitatively as the hard or life sciences) who consider themselves objectivists.
Empiricism is incompatible with "objectivism" upon close examination, which is precisely why Luskin and his ilk demonize academics. They are true believers.
fucking psycho.
Krugman was on Russert a week or two ago, and Russert asked him about NRO's Krugman Truth Squad. Although I don't think he said Luskin's name directly, Krugamn acknowledged it: "Yes, it's a little scary having stalkers." (paraphrase)
Also, Krugman has addressed some of Luskin's rantigs on his Princeton website, so I think it's safe to say he knows who this guy is. Wouldn't you? Imagine if The Nation hired someone to write a blog exclusively devoted to critiquing George Will - think George would have something to say about that?
I must admit, Luskin's blog is a guilty pleasure - it's so exquisitely bizarre. You think he's just feeding the sheep, but then he writes something like this - my lord, he actually believes this stuff. If he were just a cynic, well, at least selling his soul would be a rational, if despicable, action. This is, in a way, worse - the guy's on a crusade.
A few weeks ago on his blog, he posted Krugman's travel schedule, and put a different flavor of pie on each date - get it? See, refute a Clark Medal winner by assaulting him with pastries! Cute, huh?
No wonder Krugman was nervous. Maybe he thought Luskin had come from the baker's.
There's a larger question here. What kind of a rag is NRO that it hires a hack and weirdo like Luskin to stalk Krugman? What kind of network is CNBC that it lets Luskin on with Larry Kramer to take cheap shots at Krugman without him there to defend himself? Luskin actually appears on other financial networks as an expert - how can these people consider letting this nutcase vent on their airwaves?
The Wurlitzer is now being played by an ensemble of Rupert Pupkins.
(Metaphors mixed - reasonable rates. See our ad.)
I need some help here guys. Whats Luskin so mad about. The main thing to get out of Krugman is that the Bushies are trying to force us into a libertarian state. Is Luskin the Great Randian trying to say Krugman is an evil liar, they are not trying to turn us into Nozicks dream world? Shouldn't then Luskin hate Bush to. This guy confuses me but then again I'm just an undergrad.
Some one please help me explain why this guy isn't a logical contradiction of himself.
"I liked the part where he said "three is a number but not a number of.""
Yeah, that was great. 
...I waited in line for a few minutes while he banged out scrawled signatures by the dozen, and when he was done with mine, I asked, "Would you inscribe it to me personally?" He said, "Yeah, alright, what's your name?" I said "Don..." and he wrote Don. Then I said "Luskin: L-U-S-K-I-N..." and by the time he got halfway through... he realized. He started up with the ferret-like shifty-eyed thing like when he's on TV. I said "Now I've got something for you, Paul." The shifty look turned to one of terror as he saw the menacing steel of my .44 Magnum...
Who employs Luskin and why?
I liked it better when luskin was what Popeye was always doing after Olive Oyl.
To disagree is to lie. To attend a lecture and get an autograph is to stalk. You guys can dish it out, but you sure can't take it.
Jeez Don, get some sleep. I'm sure Paul isn't staying up late obsessing on what people are saying about him.
Another alarming example of right-wing baloney. Lie as long and loud as they can, then accuse the left of the same thing. The hypocrisy, they hypocrisy...
Luskin has no qualifications as an expert. He dropped out of Yale after first year, to "to rejoin the real world as soon as possible," or rather he came of age to abuse his trust fund. A short career as a speculating rodent at Chicago Merc, a couple of boys club plums and finally a dot bomb flameout have left in charge of his own company.
Of course, who else is a supply-side crank like Kudlow talk to. Certainly CNBC knows that "Bumbling moron" doesn't have quite the byline cachet as "expert".
If he had a brain he'd be dangerous.
To disagree is to lie. To attend a lecture and get an autograph is to stalk. You guys can dish it out, but you sure can't take it.
Assuming you actually ARE Mr. Luskin:
To blog about nothing but how much you hate Paul Krugman is the sign of a troubled mind. To attend the lecture and get the autograph and then write a long-winded bit of babble in which you behave as if you're Indiana Jones in that scene in Last Crusade when Indy comes face to face with Adolf Hitler and gets HIS autograph, is the sign of a deranged mind.
Maybe you're not a "stalker", but you definitely have an unhealthy fixation here.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO ASK LUSKIN WHERE HIS BLOG POST FROM THE DAY AFTER THE BUSH AIRCRAFT CARRIER LANDING WENT. IT WAS A REAL PUPILS-DILATED, CREAM- DREAM RANT IN PRAISE OF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS "VICTORY". HE HAS SINCE TAKEN IT OFF THE ARCHIVES. WHAT A LOSER!
All these Ayn Rand (I call them Anal Rant for their tendency to talk out of their asses) are nuts.
I believe that Luskin's obsession stems from one of three things 1) either he is certifiably insane 2)He is jealous of Krugman's sucess, courage, intelligence, etc. etc. etc. or 3) He is part of the extremist right-wing media, whose job it is to destroy the repuation of anyone who dares to criticize the current Administratoin. It could be a little of all three, but it's very obvious that Krugman has become Luskin's White Whale. Ain't that a hoot!
Jesus Christ. Anyone catch the transcript of Krugman's appearance on Hannity and Colmes last week?
"GALLAGHER: OK. Well, apologize if the website misattributed that. Let's can ask about the assertion at this PoorandStupid.com, which does track all the things you say and researches them and checks them.
KRUGMAN: And gets it wrong all the time. Is this the best you can do? Go after some crazy Internet person?"
Yes, that's the best they can do.
Krugman is a egocentric madman.
Thank you for the Donald Luskins of this world for exposing the lies and the liberal lying liars that lie.
Krugman is an ass. And his sycophants are assholes.
What a pathetic parasite Luskin is. Leeching off the great Paul Krugman is the best he can do to make a career for himself.
Luskin = lunatic.
If I write that "Luskin is a poophead" here, will I be sued too?
ping
AHAHAHAH!!!! IT STILL WOOORKS!!!
So!!!
Does anyone know if Crazy Donny followed us back to this thread without our knowing it, hiding behind trees, bushes, and parked cars as he stalked! us?
You never can tell when he's followed you home and is peering through your window ....
You are entirely too kind. I think he should also be called a "crybaby" and a "litigious right-wing nutjob," so I have done just that.
Gollum Luskin: you are a true loser!!!
Luskin is a stalker. . . lawsuits await. Atrios should send all his readers back to the comment thread to invite more litigation from this asshole
Luskin is an unchaste woman with poor credit and his lawyer has a loathsome disease.
I have now said the only three things which will actually expose someone to liability under libel laws. May I be a co-defendant?
Everyone should add a comment.
Luskin is a Krugman Stalker!
He is also a Krugman wannabe; a man obsessed with Paul Krugman's success. He has an insignificant existence and can only make himself minutely famous by attacking a superior with a whiny, demented tone. He is intellectually incapable of addressing Krugman on the issues, despite many, many pathetic attempts.
He's kind of like Ann Coulter without the prentesion of wit but with the same genitalia
Speaking in my professional capacity as a psychologist, is quite clear to me that Luskin has a very troubled mind.
It is likely that he suffers from a mental illness such as manic depression or schizophrenia, most probably triggered by being sexually abused as a small child.
His violent verbal outbursts and pseudo-threats would lead me to believe that there is a strong chance of him translating this into a physical, probably sexual attack.
As the likelyhood is that he was a victim of phallusesque molestation when very young, I would consider him to be a danger to young children. There is a very strong probability that in the near future he will abduct, rape and slaughter a young child.
Beware of this man. He is mentally unsound.
Just wanted everyone to know we've got a bed down here with Luskin's name on it.
He'll be bunking with Tricky Dicky.
Hugs n kisses,
Satan
P.S. On advice of counsel, I don't want to get involved with the issue of whether Luskin is allegedly a stalker, insane, psychopathic, a murderer, a pedophile, or any of those other alleged descriptions because I simply do not have all the facts with which to make an informed judgment.
And if anyone's gotta problem with that, they can go to hell!
Said Rumblelizard: It's all fun and games until someone gets murdered by a psycho f*ckhead.
Was that what Upton was talking about when he said, "One [poster] has even threatened physical violence"? I think that Rumblelizard was warning people of the threat posed by Luskin, perhaps not just toward Paul Krugman.
Luskin needs to get himself to an ESL class, fast! He can learn what a single-syllable word like "friend" means, for example.
if I say something three times its true,
if I say something three times its true,
if I say something three times -including "if I say something three times its true" - its true.
- Lewis Carrol
No no jed it is not enough to say something three times. You have to say it a number of times.
I hope you all have seen the parody letter from Upton to Luskin threatening to sue Luskin for calling Lusking a stalker at
