I think the RNC should keep a stock of "thank you" cards printed up for guys like Chevy who use public fora for obscene rants against the President of the USA!

Keep up the fair work, Chevy. 8 more years!

Convicted of drunk driving. [1995]

His short-lived TV talk show was billed as a Cornelius Production, Cornelius being Chevy's real first name.

Was nearly killed (electrocuted) during the filming of "Modern Problems" (1981) when, during the sequence in which he is wearing "landing lights" as he dreams that he is an airplane, the current in the lights short-circuited through his arm, back, and neck muscles. The near-death experience caused him to experience a period of deep depression.

Attended Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.

Was valedictorian of his high school class

Has perfect pitch, a musical ability to remember the exact frequency of a note.

Was the drummer for what he called "a bad jazz band". That band became Steely Dan.

Parents divorced when he was four, and his father remarried into Folger coffee family, while mother's third marriage was to Juilliard School professor/composer Lawrence Widdoes.

He and wife Jayni's three daughters are named: Cydney Cathalene, Caley Leigh, Emily Evelyn.

Chevy was actually a childhood nickname, possibly based on the Maryland suburb - bestowed by his grandmother. Chase family was affluent and distinguished and Chevy was listed in Social Register at early age. His paternal grandfather was painter/teacher Frank Swift Chase, his father, Ned Chase, was a prominent Manhattan book editor and magazine writer. Mother was descended from the Crane plumbing-fixture family.

He appeared alongside Paul Simon in the music video "You Can Call Me Al" in which he sings all of Paul Simon's lines

Was a long-time class clown expelled from private schools like NYC's Dalton, but did well at Stockbridge School in Massachusetts. Expelled from Haverford College, after bringing a cow into the third floor of a campus building. Transferred to Bard College where he dated actress Blythe Danner and graduated in 1967.

Used to spend his summer and other vacations at a castle on a beautiful beach in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

His middle name, Crane, refers to Crane Castle, his childhood vacation home in Massachusetts.

Roasted into the New York Friar's Club on September 28, 2002.

Suffers from a fear of snakes

Once upon a time the Libs thought having the MSM and Hollywood in their pocket was a hugfe asset. Now they're beginning to realize just what a liability both are; and they cannot simply jettison either from their orbit.
