REUNITED: Kal Penn returning to White House. Tiff with Obama apparently over.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2010/11/kal_penn_aka_kalpen_modi_retur.html
This is all kinds of strange.
BUT, a lot of male couples go back and forth like this. Even if they fight, and try to move onto other guys, it gets all Annie Proux “I just can’t quit you”.
I swear, Ang Lee needs to film the official Obama White House docudrama.
First Kal Penn is weirdly hired out of the blue to work in the White House despite not having any qualifications or relatable experience.
He was given a made-up, do-nothing job…not VP because that went to Biden…but something like “Deputy Director of Giving Obama Kisses”.
The Director position has been filled by aptly named Reggie Love for some time.
Penn was written off his TV show, House, after moving to DC to be with Obama…the show killed him off, making it appear like he left acting.
Then, bizarrely, Penn and Obama seem to have had a tiff, which I imagine involved a slap fight and hair pulling.
Obama was mad at him for a while.
Mysteriously, Penn then got mugged near the gay bars at DuPont Circle and his cell phone was taken from him…it seems that cell might have had messages or photos Obama wanted.
Then, for several months, report after report came out about Obama being depressed. Even prank calls to Justin Beiber stopped making him giggle.
And now, Penn is coming back to the White House, right when Obama is down on his luck and nursing wounds from his disastrous midterms.
Isn’t this when you are most prone to get back together with your ex-boyfriends?
When you are hurt, broken, and vulnerable?
This is so like the end of Bodyguard and Penn is totally Kevin Costner, only Obama runs down the steps from Air Force One and never flies away.
It actually all is really cute…and hilarious most Americans still believe this man is straight with so obvious a male June/November relationship happening between Penn and Obama.

Oh, geez, how did we get saddled with such a needy man?
I am not to keen on this log in thing. Just another way to track you.
Oh my – Barry’s trip must have made him nostalgic ….

Uhhhhhh I try to be open-minded but I just can’t when it comes to this. I just can’t.
Hmmmm. IIRC, Michelle wasn’t on that trip, was she…
such a coincidence. . .
As I said on the open thread–wonder if Kal will get his phone back?
Refresh my memory. When Penn left the White House this summer, did the press SAY it was just temporary so he could film the Harold and Kumar movie? I don’t think they did. I don’t remember them saying anything about what else he was going to do. It would have been easy enough, if he really was just taking time off to make a film, for the WH to announce that he was taking time off to make a film. This is what makes the recent announcement kind of odd…
They said he was leaving for good.
I am sure of that.
There was no temporary anything. Just him abruptly leaving after having been there just a few months.
The whole thing is so weird.
It’s “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Get it right. :p

I loved how on House, they didn’t just kill his character off. They made him commit suicide, as he was doing to his career by quitting a hit show to move across country for an unrequited love.
Looks like there is going to be a lot of new “junk touching” going on in the White House.
I will never get tired of this story. Never.
And Troy made me do a spit take. Very funny.
Just when you think it couldn’t get weirder, it does.
Aw, it’s actually kind of sweet. I mean BO probably needs some support right now, with everything falling apart all around him. I don’t begrudge him a little lovin’. In fact, I think it would be a very good idea if they went off on a reunited it feels so good vacay . . . for the next two years.
Why doesn’t the secret service say something about all this hanky panky crap going on…Obama is a danger to himself and the country. I don’t care how many boy friends he has or what he does in his personal life just don’t do it in the People’s House while representing the great people of this country. Worse we pay for these “positions,” airfare and all the trappings of his escapades.

maybe someday, SS just wrote a book a book re: the shooting of john kennedy, he was next to the car when it happened.
Perhaps they’ll decamp (yes, you read that right) for Amsterdam and get married.
Excellent journalism in the new "bold truth" approach of the glorious Journ-0-listers(tm)! Nominate for Pulitzer now!
