Kumar Goes To The White House

How do you add credibility to your White House staff?

Simple.

Add Kumar.



That's right ladies and germs, actor Kal Penn, who is not so famous for playing Kumar in "Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle" and "Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay," as well as playing Taj Badalandabad in "National Lampoon's: Van Wilder" and "Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj," and finally as Dr. Lawrence Kutner in "House, M.D." where his character committed suicide in this past Monday's episode (I guess, I was too busy watching the Cubs beat the Astros in the Season Opener) is now going to Washington.

His position?

To be an Associate Director in the Office of Public Liaison, serving as a liaison between the Obama White House and Asian constituents.


I don't know whether to laugh, chuckle, or just be worried.
