Kal Penn, the 35-year-old "House" and "Harold and Kumar" actor who served for two years as President Obama's liaison to young America, made a humorous but poignant speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, in which he urged young people to vote.
And yes, he cracked a Clint Eastwood joke. "I've worked on a lot of fun movies, but my favorite job was having a boss who gave the order to take out bin Laden and who's cool with all of us getting gay- married. So thank you, invisible man in the chair, for that," he said, referring to Eastwood's "empty chair" speech.
Comedian Sandra Bernhard pretty much summed up the Democratic point of view on Twitter when she wrote: "#kalpenn he's no clint eastwood but we're doing the best we can. #dnc2012." Whose speech did you prefer: Kal's or Clint's?

He took on Clint Eastwood? It will take a looong time for him to be able to "Make my DAy'!
In the meantime, I hope he can understand what family values means, as the issue that is MOST important to the future of mankind. All other issues are secondary. Still, he lives in a 'free' country -
caution: when you speak to young people, ALWAYS guide them correctly, without bias
You have got to be kidding me, Kal Penn is no example of a person who should be held up for our youth to admire. His movies are horrible, full of drugs, crimes and how to be a slacker. His House characted killed himself. What a terrible role model!
Only Obama would choose someone with such a low caliber of class and lack of any accomplishments worth mentioning, sort of like that Sandra Fluke "gimme gimme".

If by better, you mean more comedy? Something like a funny old dude talking to a chair... That was Clint Eastwood.
Penn's speech was better because people heard it. GOP is still talking to... No one! =D
P.S: If you go east from Florida, your in the water. For Eastwood's sake, I hope "East-wood's chair" floats...
Clint Eastwood, clearly, is a legendary star. But he was also a hot, insubstantial mess in his speech.
He's Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry.
Did you see what he did in Grand Torino.
You people are crazy to say anything about that man.
You mean those weren't documentaries????
