TAPPER: Welcome back to THE LEAD. Finally from us in Pop Culture news, Seth Rogen and writing partner had a crazy idea for a movie a few years ago. A politician smokes crack and gets into zany trouble. The idea so whack, so edgy, so out there, Hollywood wouldn't touch it. What kind of politician smokes crack and finds himself in the middle of a hot mess? Right, that guy. Rogen tells Canada's "Globe and Mail" the script has sold now after years of rejections. He believes Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's recent misadventures helped turned his old script into a hot commodity. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I now turn you over to Wolf Blitzer in "THE SITUATION ROOM" -- Mr. Blitzer.
Seth Rogen Should Thank Rob Ford?
