Mr. Krugman's laugh conveys a rich mixture of sheepishness, relief and amazement as Mr. Bush informs him that Bush's entire "presidency" was in fact an elaborate ruse designed to teach Krugman lessons in anger management.
Bush: "And here I thought Keynesian was just another word I made up like strategery. Then you go and prove me wrong by winning that Nobel prize thingy."
Krugman: "Man, I could really go for a cheese steak."
President Bush shares a laugh with treasury secretary Paul Krugman, after the two were greeted by the news that the Dow Jones industrial average had broken the 32,000 point barrier for the first time ever, just before the markets closed on Monday.
"My winning theory can explain why all nations still export their own products of cronyism, even though the U.S. for eight years has had the world's largest endowment of it."

Hey, Kruggie Man, did you hear the one about the neocon, the economist and the rabbi?
Bush: "And here I thought Keynesian was just another word I made up like strategery. Then you go and prove me wrong by winning that Nobel prize thingy."
Krugman: "Man, I could really go for a cheese steak."
"It's amazing what a guy can achieve with an academic beard to strain his word hole of ill-formed thought."
"Next time you think about the State doing something, think about me doing that".
Krugman considers "How will I explain this to the DailyKos"

If you choose not to look at my awesome poster:
"Politics: warning: pundits in newspaper may be closer than they appear
Bush: "Don't laugh. The fact the you could win a Nobel Prize in Economics makes it reasonable that I could win a Nobel Prize in Peace."
Bush: "Yeh, you're right on that, it is fun b*llcr*pping the readers to the NY Times."
Bush: "I pretend to be stupid. What's your excuse?"
Bush: "8 years of peddle to the metal Keynesian 'stimulus' and now you say 'sucker'. Wow, I love that joke."
Bush: "What would be really funny is if Obama slapped a Carter era tax on your Nobel Prize booty."
So, professor, you gave your best years to trade theory. And in return: a visit with me.
"We have a saying in Texas. Liquidity trap me once, shame on me... you don't get fooled again."
Bush: You aren´t wearing tan socks are you?
Paul: ??
Bush: Then the doctor says, "OK, now it's MY turn to cough! Get it?
Job well done, Kruggie.

"This liquidity trap sure is cold!"
"Yeah... and deep!"
"I know a new guy is going to be in charge, but would you mind if I still blamed you?"

"Oh no, what am I doing? This handshake with the locus of all ineptitude is really going to prey on my conscience of a liberal."
"On second thought, the President realized, gay marriage didn't seem like such a bad idea."
