Niall Ferguson is a terrible economist, too

Now that one of the great wankers of our era has turned out to be a serial adulterer as well, would it be possible for NPR to desist from quoting Niall Ferguson every time it runs a story even remotely connected to the problem of the US national debt? I understand the logic in the sentence I just wrote makes utterly no sense, but neither does anything Ferguson has to say about monetary policy or, for that matter, the sloppily-defined term that helped make him a wealthy academic playboy in the first place.
