Kumar in Trouble

When Kal Pen (aka Kumar of the great movie, Harold & Kumar go to White Castle) left the beautiful people of Hollywood to spend time with the bottom-feeding parasites in DC, he received some praise for serving his country or something. But now a FOIA request has revealed that he was mixed up in the recent NEA scandal which forced its Communications Director into resignation. From Washington Examiner (h/t Jammie):

Former actor and present White House associate director of public engagement Kalpen Modi was directly involved in planning the controversial conference call hosted by a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) flack to encourage tax-supported artists to create propaganda for President Obama, according to emails obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Uhoh, making trouble for Hollywood's messiah, that'll probably get you blacklisted. Which is unfortunate, because I thought Kal Pen was a great actor. Well, he'll always have the ability to write crummy HuffPo articles alongside all the other has-been celebrities.

I can't decide what is more surprising about this administration... The partisan cronyism that seems to fly in the face of the inclusionist campaign rhetoric, or how inept they are about pushing their agenda.

As much as I despised Dick Cheney, I have to respect his ability to get whatever it was he wanted done. Even though I'm glad the bushies are out of office, I miss the decisiveness of those years.

Another reason why I'm for the mandatory sterilization of holiweirdos. The actwerps & 'tresses of the entertainment industry are being used to manipulate the people the way the church was used in medieval times
