Hottest ticket in town

The DC premiere of Article VI: Faith, Politics, America is tonight at 6 p.m. at the Heritage Foundation, and it's going to be standing-room only.

I just got a panicked phone call from a top young activist today who had RSVP'd this morning only to be told the event was full.

Made a quick call to publicist Audrey Mullen, who informed me that yes, the event was SRO but, as to my activist friend, "If she's with you, she's in." Sweet.

Audrey also informed me that, despite my mention that Hugh Hewitt is the producer, Article VI is generally about religious tolerance in public life -- it's not just a pro-Romney film. I finally found a YouTube trailer:

Right now, with my, er, post-Florida jihad against Crazy Cousin John, I guess I'm going to have to try to mend some fences and unburn some bridges. Strange bedfellows ...

Hugh Hewitt, movie mogul

A new documentary, Article VI, will be screened Thursday, Jan. 31, at the Heritage Foundation.

According to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Hugh Hewitt is executive producer of the film, which features interviews with, inter alia, my friend David French. (David is now a captain in the Army Reserve, deployed in Iraq.)

Since David is co-founder of Evangelicals For Mitt, and Hewitt is ... er, famously objective, I think it safe to suppose that the object of this documentary is to convince Americans that voting against Mitt merely because of his Mormonism would be an act of unconscionable bigotry.

You can view a trailer here (hey, Team Mitt, how about a YouTube trailer?) and there is a Facebook page for Thursday's screening here.
