No, Kahan in this case is clearly drawing out the false logic Krugman is using. He's not making any statement about those claims (although I suspect he probably agrees with them deep down).
The humor here is that Krugman is deriding the idea he's writing about by using the exact same concepts that prove him incorrect.
