He's dead, Jim: William Shatner just photon torpedoed Paul Krugman and it's GLORIOUS

Shot…

Paul Krugman linked to a blog post that said the hiring of Larry Kudlow would be “as if Donald Trump were to name William Shatner to command the Navy’s 7th Fleet”:

"The right way to view this appointment is, I think, as if Donald Trump were to name William Shatner to command the Navy's 7th Fleet." https://t.co/VEjBX2t5az

Chaser…

And then William Shatner photon torpedoed Krugman with one of the best tweets we’ve read in awhile:

How does a Nobel Laureate tweet such stupidity? Can I ask for a recount? https://t.co/7tUuuxQGWz
