Senator Ben Nelson Can Kiss My ...

Tue Feb 10, 2009 at 07:39:51 AM EST



Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), one of the "centrists" who has worked to make the stimulus package less stimulating, mocked Paul Krugman's critique of the "moderates" like this:

"Well, y'know, I don't know where he's from, but I'll tell you, in Nebraska ..."

Krugman's response?

Senator, I was born in Albany, grew up on Long Island, and now I live in New Jersey. You got a problem with that?

Well, Senator, I was born in St. Louis (the heartland just like Nebraska!), grew up in Jersey, went to college in Wisconsin (the heartland again!) and am raising my family in Jersey.  You got a problem with that?

How about you?

Born in Queens, grew up in Brooklyn. You probably think that makes me an eastern elitist. Went to high school in Michigan though, does that cleanse me enough for you? Now I live in New Jersey, but that's where I get my swagger from, so shut up.



It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

.....can you pass the Grey Poupoun?

BTW: hoosier born, carolina reared, seasoned in Maryland and yet still firmly rooted in the garden state.

I think it's a unique feature of our demographic that so many people aren't actually from here but wound their way around before CHOOSING to come here.

yeah, nathan - I DO have a problem with that :-)

Born and raised on Long Island (and depending on the time in my life, I called it "Strong Island" or "Wrong Island", lived in NYC for 15 years, muthafuckas, college in Binghamton NY and now to NJ.

A northeast liberal volvo driving elitist with more balls (actually, still only 2) than Benny boy.

Scott Garrett - on the wrong side of, well, everything.
