It’s great seeing Kal Penn, of House and Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (the most famous movie with an Asian lead that isn’t kung-fu!), on the podium at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
Four years ago, at the 2008 convention, he was the sign usher assigned to the Virginia delegation. I couldn’t believe it, I swore that he was a really good look-alike: but there’s a photo below of him at work distributing signs, me as a page helping him out (in the Warner shirt), Gov. Tim Kaine, and NBC’s Andrea Mitchell.
That’s a collection of people that could only happen at a convention.

Needless to say, I have always been a huge fan.
