Hobbits for Hillary

I find this oddly amusing for some reason:

The Clinton campaign had flown in Sean Astin to shill for Hill. He's most famous for playing Sam, Frodo's erstwhile friend, in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

When a major campaign finds it worthwhile to send the narrator from Meerkat Manor to a random county convention in Iowa, its just another sign how badly screwed up the presidential nominating process is.
