Just as Jimmy Carter's death leaves Joe Biden in undisputed possession of the title for Worst Living President, Jennifer Rubin's departure from the WaPo means Paul Krugman is now the reigning World Champion Dumb Newspaper Columnist.

FYI, Krugman retired in early December. The question is whether Krugman previously held the title and lost it to Rubin. If so, both Krugman's and Rubin's official titles would be World Champion Dumb Newspaper Columnist Emeritus.

The good news is that there are many viable candidates to claim the title vacated by Rubin.

I cancelled my NYT subscription last year, so I guess I missed Krugman's departure. I hate being wrong, but I have no complaints about being corrected in this case. I'd say the aptly named Charles Blow and Michelle Goldberg are both contenders for the title.
