Harold & Kumar star Kal Penn has taken a job as the associate director in the White House office of public liaison, which, I don’t know, is something about outreach to the public or whatever. Anyway, all you dope fiends out there who are all, “Man, when’s Obama gonna wake up an legalize grass already? Dude, it’s the 21st century! We want a bud in every bong, okay?” (NOTE: this is a verbatim quote from Andrew Sullivan) should be excited to have such a prominent symbol of marijuana’s harmlessness in such a powerful place. Anyway, how will Penn be able to divide his time between the White House and his role on Fox medical drama House?
