I...don't have time to read that, nor do I want to read it on such a horrid background, but I'm pretty sure Tolkien agreed that he was kind of out-of-place, and mostly just included him for fun.

Yeah I'm having to much fun picturing a noir story that breaks up the plot off the rails violently when the detective goes to an informant, only for the informant to turn out to be a singing, dancing and possibly drunk George Washington
When he shows up it's all like; "Hey, let's put off your immensely dangerous and important quest for a bit, why don't you get naked and have dinner with me and my wife, did I tell you guys I wrote a song years ago about how we met?"
He's like the classical portrayals of Pan, only hobbit-ish.
