There is no Republican factotum who has ever lived who begins to have the brains of Krugman

You do say "factotum" rather than economist. The latter is the proper comparison.

And in that regard, if we are going to do brain to brain comparisons, Krugman would agree that Milton Friedman was very much in his class if not better. Just finally wrong. Last time I checked he also had a great deal of respect for Martin Feldstein.
