I think mostly because it had nothing to do with the topic at hand, and it’s a classic talking point, oft repeated ever since Obama received the Nobel.

Well, that talking point has existed long before Obama—he’s just the most recent example of a more political selection. And Obama knew how to handle that through his acceptance speech.

The topic at hand in my particular reply buy the way was to answer the claim that Krugman’s analysis of Ryan’s proposals should be accepted BECAUSE he is a Nobel prize winner. Quite on topic.
