In case you're wondering why
I'm writing about this—well, I am too. A Malaysian jetliner has vanished
into thin air, while Russia has completed its seizure of Crimea and may
yet invade other parts of Ukraine. Serious stuff, you might say. But
the big story of last week as far as the president is concerned is his
appearance alongside the star of "The Hangover" movies, the guy who last
year smoked a joint live on the
Bill Maher
show.
"Zach actually was pretty nervous," Mr.
Obama later told
Ryan Seacrest,
the"American Idol" impresario, in a radio interview. "His whole
character is to go after the guest and I think he was looking around and
seeing all these Secret Service guys and thinking, 'I wonder what
happens here if I cross a line?'
"But we had a great time."
Incidentally,
I quote these lines from the Us Weekly report of the Seacrest
interview. Us magazine is where I go for my political news these days.
The online article also had a link to a photo gallery of Mr. Obama
hanging out with various celebrities, like Justin Bieber. "What's up, my dude!" the Canadian teen star says to the
president of the United States. "What's up, Biebs!" the president of the
United States answers back.
In
fairness, this was before Biebs's Miami DUI. In fairness, also, the
president does important work. Just the other day, he was photographed
standing by his Oval Office desk, casually dressed in jeans, speaking to
Vladimir Putin on the phone. The president had been savaged by Sarah Palin "as one who wears mom jeans and equivocates and bloviates."
Retorted
Mr. Obama: "The truth is, generally I look very sharp in jeans." The
sole exception, he added, "was one episode like four years ago in which I
was wearing some loose jeans, mainly because I was out on the pitcher's
mound and I didn't want to feel confined while I was pitching."
