Unbridled Ignorance!

Wow! Paul Krugman has tactfully described the sheer ignorance of White Male Ignorance clearly displayed!

The NY Sun comments are breathtaking in their stupidity!

Those White Males have spent too much time listening to Rush what's-his-name, wallowing in their own lack of knowledge ...... truly pathetic!

Sex, Money and Gravitas

By Paul Krugman, The New York Times
02 August 13

Can a woman effectively run the Federal Reserve? That shouldn't even be a question. And Janet Yellen, the vice chairwoman of the Fed's Board of Governors, isn't just up to the job; by any objective standard, she's the best-qualified person in America to take over when Ben Bernanke steps down as chairman.
 
Yet there are not one but two sexist campaigns under way against Ms. Yellen. One is a whisper campaign whose sexism is implicit, while the other involves raw misogyny. And both campaigns manage to combine sexism with very bad economic analysis.
 
Let's start with the more extreme, open campaign. Last week, The New York Sun published an editorial attacking Ms. Yellen titled "The Female Dollar." The editorial took it for granted that the Fed has been following disastrously inflationary monetary policies for years, even though actual inflation is at a 50-year low. And it warned that things would get even worse if the dollar were to become merely "gender-backed." I am not making this up.
