Because it’s funny
After tonight’s world premiere of Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, a woman in the audience asked why they involved George Bush. Someone else in the audience answered for the stars and creators on stage:
“Because it’s funny.”
Thank goodness we haven’t lost our sense of humor about even him.
I liked the movie. It always helps to watch in a premiere audience, where they’ll applaud even the gaffer’s credit. But the thing’s funny and the political overtones aren’t heavy-handed.

Just a quick note to say I really enjoyed you on Reliable Sources today. Your out-of-the-gate response about the media’s “love affair” with Senator Obama was honest, witty, and delightful.
