That was my take too. But, what he was saying was that he thought that someone from the studio had noticed that chad was a fresh and timely political news buzz word getting a lot of play and then tried make a covert media connection (by alerting reporters ?) since it was also a preexisting comic theme in their newly launched movie. An attempt to bundle his smaller movie meme with a larger (spontanious) political news meme. I guess I thought the funny part was the coincidence aspect linking these two look alike blips coexisting in saturated media and how Tom makes a little office joke by connecting the dots with a slightly paranoid industry theory. I need a vacation.
