Something Is Amiss, A Scribbler Goes Unvalidated

I love this one. A scribbler for Fortune is ticked off that impressive economic minds haven't publicly validated his opinion about the economy. It's palpable, Fox just knows that the economy is a disaster and these economists would gladly admit to it, if there weren't something deeply sinister going on.

Here's a thought exercise. What could be some of the reasons that Lindsey, Hubbard, Mankiw and Friedman are "infuriatingly judicious":
- These economists actually don't share Fox's view of economic disaster? Nah.
- Bush has compromising pictures of these men that could wreck their lives? Must be.

HT: one of those infuriatingly judicious fellows.
