Bob CollinsActor Seth Rogen appeared before a congressional subcommittee yesterday to talk about his mother-in-law’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. It was funny and poignant and, apparently, ignored by many politicians who had better things to do than listen to a Canadian talk about the need to educate other Americans about Alzheimer’s.
The picture, which Rogen tweeted after he made his appearance, is absolutely scandalous. Most of the few senators who showed up at the hearing, left during his statement.
We’re guessing that’s not a picture that will show up in an re-election campaign mailing by a senator describing how hard he/she is working for constituents.
