Conversation with Edward Prescott, Nobel economist and supporter of John McCain [View All]

I completely accidentally e-mailed Prescott, soliciting support for Obama for our site (www.obamaforeconomy.com). That sent Prescott into a rage with a hysterical outcome:

The highlights are Prescott accusing me of ruining Russia, invading Georgia, and now actively destroying United States.

I also love Prescott blaming Obama for the Katrina disaster and saying, "The corrupt rich lawyers and Wall Street bankers support Obama. Obama caters to the special in interests. That is why the CEO’s of the big companies support him and the people oppose him."

The whole exchange is just priceless, especially since Prescott is one of the five Nobel-winning economists that McCain showcases as support for his economic proposals.
