Molinaro caught in dodge (ball tournament)

If Marc Molinaro's political career doesn't work out, he might have a role waiting for him in a Ben Stiller sequel.

Assemblyman Molinaro, the freshman Republican from Tivoli, is capping his schedule in the district this week with the Taconic Hills High School junior class dodge ball tournament fundraiser on Friday, during which he is expected to volunteer as a referee.

For those of you unfamiliar with Stiller's brand of film comedy, dodge ball, that brutal old schoolyard game, gained in popularity after a 2004 movie starring Vince Vaughn and Stiller, his dodge ball nemesis. (It's no "All the President's Men," but it's a lot funnier.)

Only students are participating in this tournament, from 6-10 p.m. Friday at the Columbia County school, but spectators can donate $5 to see if Molinaro gets caught up in the action.
