Fueled by a combination of high-caffeine Nordic coffee and John Dizard's January 31 denunciation of Paul Krugman's statement that Estonia would follow the path of Argentina into a devaluation of currency, Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip stood before parliament yesterday and tore into Krugman. "Dizard is right that Krugman opened his mouth without sufficient information on Estonia," said the PM, rocking back and forth on his feet as members of parliament egged him on by shouting "Amen" and "I hear you, brother." Ansip noted that "Krugman has never been to Estonia and couldn't find his own ass with both hands," adding, "but if he ever does come here we'll certainly do our best to kiss his ass, though. Any press is good press."Ansip of Krugman (left): "Nobel, my ass. But I have to admit he's photogenic."
