PAUL, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

To all those screeching that we should boycott the LOTR films because of Viggo Mortensen's radical left views, may I bring a fact to their attention?

I just heard on FOX news in Ari Fleischer's daily briefing that at today's speech by the President at the DC youth club where a new mentoring program was being launched, there were a number of celebrities who will be part of his program, among them was SEAN ASTIN!!! Ari said it with a smile saying, you know, Frodo's friend Sam in the LOTR movies.

Is anyone else noticing many phrases filling the President's language these days harken to LOTR? He even referred to the Two Towers instead of the Twin Towers in his speech, and his comments about 'free peoples'?
