I wonder if Al Franken can spell "Paul Krugman"? The skeptic in me says no, because Al Franken and NYT columnist Paul Krugman share the same negative ideology regarding Social Security (..."If the other side advocates something, we have to be against it"). Therefore, I do not anticipate seeing Krugman's name appear on Al's list of Lying Liars in my lifetime. Jim Glass has the whole explanation.
