Starring George Clooney as Paul Krugman

What happens when a Nobel Prize-winning economist is pushed too far?

Some days it must be hard to be Paul Krugman. The death threats, the trolling, the being mistaken for Thomas Friedman (and vice-versa), the being ignored by the people who could most benefit from his advice - or rather, the people who could do the most good with his advice.

But on the other hand, if the movie Syriana taught us anything, it was that George Clooney with a beard looks a lot like Paul Krugman.
