As one of the few people on the planet who has seen Van Wilder II: the Rise of Taj, I can comfortably say this is probably Obama's second most questionable appointment.

Huh...interesting. Isn't he actually quite adept at politics? Like, that's what he studied and is heavily vested in.

However, I am upset that we lose his character on House because of this. hmph, public service my ass, I have to be entertained!

I don't actually know. I was just making a joke based on the fact that the star of Van Wilder II: The Rise of Taj is now in the White House. I'm sure he's perfectly capable.

And on that note, can John Cho become Treasury Secretary?

It's weird - just last night on Monday his character on HOUSE died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Next day he's working for Obama.

Is that how it works? Creepy.

Just more evidence the Obama administration is media-savvy.

It's media savvy in the extreme and not completely ridiculous...

Older bro Sean has a long history of being politically outspoken, so you can't be too surprised.

It's a recurring source of frustration that even liberals don't seem to see how hypocritical it is for conservatives to sneer at the Democrats for being in bed with Hollywood, being media-conscious, etc. That continued up to the election, with the "Obama's such a big celebrity (condescending chuckle)" talk. Hey, guess which of the two candidates hosted Saturday Night Live?

If there's a "vapid celebrity" party, it's absolutely the Republicans. [/rant]
