CleanMyRide.org, Ben Affleck & 'Obama Girl'
In Tuesday's Politico "Shenanigans" column, Anne Schroeder writes that CleanMyRide.org, a new energy policy Web site from the Campaign for American Progress will launch Thursday.
In conjunction with the initiative, there's reportedly a video circulating of a corn suit-wearing Ben Affleck. According to Schroeder, CAP has gotten several celebrities to don costumes "to gain some attention about cars and clean air and all that green, Prius talk."
"I can pressure Big Oil. I start revolutions. Remember Beta versus VHS? I did that, and I was 8 years old. Remember DivX? I killed that s---. Acid-wash jeans? Dead, ... and you're welcome," Affleck says in the video. There's also apparently a clip of former "Dawson's Creek" star Joshua Jackson threatening to hurt a baby if something isn't done about cleaner cars.
Update: FishbowlDC has some screen shots of the videos featuring Affleck, Jackson, Matt Damon and comedian Sarah Silverman. Looks hilarious!
Meanwhile, The Examiner's "Yeas & Nays" column reports that rising YouTube star "Obama Girl" (whose real name is Amber Lee) stopped by a Monday night party hosted by Arianna Huffington.
