Kumar goes to White House

So Obama hired Kal Pen as an Associate Director for the White House Office of Public Liaison. Apparently this is part of the new Washington but it just strikes me as something of a tacky gimmick.

Hahaha. Change you can believe in.

He's going to be the "associate director in the White House office of public liaison", so it's not like he made Kumar Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON – The White House has hired actor Kal Penn as a liaison between President Barack Obama's administration and Asian constituents. White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Tuesday that the actor who had a recurring role on Fox's TV show "House" and has starred in several movies would join the staff as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison.

His role will be to connect Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts groups.

Kal Penn

Education: Kal Penn majored in Film and Sociology at the University of California, Angeles

Non-acting careers:: Taught “Images of Asian Americans in the Media" at the University of Pennsylvania during the Spring 2008 semester.

Doesn't exactly sould like the administration has hired Mr. Penn to monitor Communist aggression or to answer that red phone at 2 am. Mr. Penn may not be Che Guevara, but he seems perfectly qualified to fill this position.

Oh dear, Obamaphiles got their panties in a twist. Relax, man.

Communism aggression - hilarious. You know what communism does every day? It sits there, with folded arms, being pissed at America, thinking of new ways to be aggressive.
Obama should hire someone to keep an eye on that.

No, no, no. Communism died with Karl. But hey, there's always The Smurfs reruns.

Does anyone know who filled this position before Mr. Penn was asked to do so?

Yes, yes it did.

Then it was zombified by Lenin. It had no brain and low motor reflexes, it was just lingering around...being called ''communism'', when it fact it was feeding on brains on everyone that needed to be kept quiet and who celebrated it.

I think this is a huge opportunity for Kal Penn to do some good..

I hope he succeeds

No more Harold and Kumar? 🙁

Hopefully.

I liked the part in Harold and Kumar part two where Kumar jizzed all over himself, that was tight yo. 😄
