Mind you, this is Apatow's real daughter who's playing the character - so when he asks me, as a warm body in the room, for my opinion, I keep quiet.

To Baraka, they are profiting from the opportunities that he fought so hard to create. If any local figure is going to rant about cutting Booker's "nuts out," as Jesse Jackson did in a slip about Obama last summer, it would...
