Krugman today:

Yesterday I was on This Weak with George Stephanopoulos…

Krugman on 6/27/09:

One of the favorite arguments of climate-change deniers is “but it was warmer in the late 90s.” In fact, the odds are good that I’ll get that argument from George Will on This Weak tomorrow.

Krugman on 5/31/09:

So I did This Weak with George Stephanopoulos this morning…

Why would Krugman continue his association with a show for which he has such evident disregard? Is he selling out for the increased visibility and the paycheck? Or does he fancy himself the only voice of truth on a “weak” panel of shills and conventional-wisdom-spouting empty suits? If it’s the former, it certainly fits within Krugman’s m.o., but it doesn’t speak highly of his character. If it’s the latter, how come ABC News keeps inviting him back? It’s pathetic. We all know that insecure girl who allows her caddish boyfriend to insult her in public. C’mon ABC — he’s not worth it.
