Senator Has Cameo in "The Dark Knight"

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is making his third cameo in a "Batman" movie according to "Washington Post" blogger Mary Ann Akers in her column "The Sleuth."

Leahy has a bit role in "The Dark Knight" though the unexpected death of rising star Heath Ledger has put the film in post-production jeopardy.

Leahy is a life-long Batman fan. He has also done voice-overs for Batman cartoons and he has written a preface to a Batman comic book.

Akers said that the senior Vermont senator, who has a reputation for being one of the more liberal senators on The Hill, will donate money from the film to The Kellogg-Hubbard Children's Library in the state capital of Montpelier, Vt., where he got his very first library card.
