Good for Kal and a nice move for the Obama administration. Nixon's appointment of Shirley Temple for ambassadorships proved long ago that conservatives can't do cool.

Well noone can say he's doing it for the money:

"The public liaison position pays $70,000 a year or what the Hollywood actor [made] per episode on the popular House series."

I hope "The Square Root of Three" replaces words for the national anthem. And Neal Patrick Harris gets appointed to something.

Why can't I get great jobs like that?

Oh, wait - I'm not famous. I just have actual qualifications like college degrees and years of job experience.

@intime: It's not a policy job, it's one in PR. Where, among other things, being a minor celebrity could help. :)

@kjack: No, but he taught classes there as a visiting lecturer. Somehow his film degree from UCLA qualified him for that.
