Krugman Disputes Rumor That He Has A Son Who Works For Hillary*
December 20, 2007 -- 9:22 AM EST // //

As noted here yesterday, Paul Krugman is being dogged by a rumor that he has a son who works for Hillary. People who are upset with Krugman for his criticism of Obama are spreading the rumor in the comments section to this post and elsewhere.

Well, now Krugman is disputing the rumor, claiming that he doesn't even have a son. He claims not to have a daughter, either.

Well, maybe Krugman has a son, and maybe he doesn't. But even if he continues to dispute this rumor, he will continue to be dogged by it anyway for the foreseeable future. And there's nothing he can do about it. Sorry.

*Editor's note: As I hope is very obvious, this headline and post, and yesterday's, are intended as jokes -- as spoofs of the big dust-up over the Washington Post piece about how Obama is being dogged by rumors that he's a Muslim even though he's disputing them.
