Robin Williams: Not the Man of the Year

I'm in The Washington Times this morning with an essay/review about Robin Williams' wretched new "comedy," Man of the Year, and how Hollywood misrepresents the business of politics. Here's a teaser:

It's probably only fitting, though, for an industry as narcissistic as the movies. By substituting self-righteous speechifying for action, Hollywood turns Washington into a version of itself, plying politics as show business.
