Kumar Goes to White House
Quote:Actor Kal Penn joins White House team

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.

Penn starred as Kumar in the movie, "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." His "House" character committed suicide in Monday's episode.

Penn backed Obama during the campaign. The White House says a start date for Penn hasn't been set.

The hire was first reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Another wonderful appointee by the celebrity president. I wonder how much Kumar owes in back taxes?

Then again, I guess he is as qualified to be in the White House as the guy who hired him.

Boy, pretty soon, the term "Being On the Rag" when referring to the White House staff is gonna mean a Whole Different thang ..... 05-stirthepot

Sh't ... before too much longer, it is going to be the United States of Arabian Circle Jerk with the White House as Center Point and Obama as Pivot Man ... "THE FIST of POWER" !!!!!!! 03-lmfao 03-lmfao 03-lmfao

And REMEMBER !!!!! Kal Penn is an EXPERT because he "Played Parts in Movies" that Obama see as 'OJT' for a Cabinet Position in "FOREIGN AFFAIRS" (what a Magna ***-LOAD idiot from the University of STOOGE).

Speaking of House and Kal Penn, I didn't see the suicide coming last night....Shocker.

I figured Kal either had another movie deal or T.V. deal to get out of the series that quickly.

What was really strange was the website set as a memorial to his character by the show. 04-jawdrop He was a T.V character not a person.

RE: Kumar Goes to White House
You made a statement about a "muslim" white house in a thread that was specifically talking about Kal Penn joining the POTUS' staff. You also said that "before too much longer, it is going to be the United States of Arabian Circle Jerk with the White House as Center Point and Obama as Pivot Man" when I don't believe that there is a single person on his staff from that area (I could be wrong). I can only assume that you thought that he is muslim. So yes it did look like you cared.

[/quote]

"Kumar" double majored in Theater and Sociology at UCLA and is completing a Masters Degree Program in International Studies at Stanford. In other words he's more qualified than most Rethugs that have held office.

What exactly did Anuld accomplish before he was elected governator? What were Raygun's qualifications before he ran for gov of Cal and then Pres? He wasn't even a decent actor. Bush graduated at the bottom of his class at Yale while McSain crashed 5 planes on his way to graduating at the bottom of his Naval Academy class. I'll take competency over underachieving drunks who only succeeded because of daddy's help.03-lmfao

RE: Kumar Goes to White House
As an aside, I believe that McCain didn't actually enjoy going to the academy. He was apart of a legacy and pretty much had to go to preserve a sort of family honour. He admittedly rebelled while there and that's why he got out almost last in his class. But he did have a fairly decent Navy career, except for the obvious.

But other than that you have a point.

ONCE AGAIN ......

And I will try to Use Crayon for you, but the Fonts don't allow it Robert and who the fck ever else ....

"DOES IT REALLY LOOK I CARE" ...

My entire contention is that ObamBam is loading up with "Names Without Substance" or either the "Substance Is", they are Felons either Convicted or Scurrying from Conviction ....

So Penn is going to be a Graduate Master Bachelor Associate of International Arts and Sciences ..... let the little Actor get grabbed by the balls from Osama bin Laden and we will see what all that College gets him.

I don't care if the "Boy" worships Elmer Fudd or has sexual fantasies about Porky Pig, he is just another "What-Ever-DUH" added to the spoon to be forced fed down our throats who knows absolutely sh't about sh't.

It is like you Masters of Arts and Sciences Lib's, pulling such foolishness as having Jessica Lange testify at a CONGRESSIONAL HEARING about the "Plight of Farmers" because SHE played the role of a Farmer in a FUGGIN MOVIE .... the woman has never farmed in her LIFE.

I could go on with this silliness like with Susan Sarandon and a whole litny of other actors being held up to Ambassador or Emissary Status or EXPERT Status because they "ONCE PLAYED A SIMILAR CHARACTER IN A MOVIE or on TV".

Hell, lets just move Obama out and input Martin Sheen !!!!!! He has been President for what, 10 years NOW !!!!!! He surely isn't any worse than the fool that is already in there even if he is "Signal 108". (him & his goofy azz son and that equates to "Section 8" for all you smart guys)

HEY !!!!!! I have Cancer and I demand to see DUGGIE HOWSER as my Primary Oncologist !!!!!!!! Get Obama on the PHONE NOW !!!!!!!

C whut um sayin ....... (no)

Bush had better grades at Yale than Kerry did, which is why Kerry refused to release those records during the campaign, but did so eventually afterwards
