The news that Larry David's wife, Laurie, will appear on a CBS soap opera warning of the evils of global warming strikes some as funny.

Jackie Mendez-Diaz, for one, could barely curb her amusement yesterday. ''Laurie's such a hypocrite," said Mendez-Diaz, who lives next door to the Davids on Martha's Vineyard.

More hypocrisy from the lefties. Here is biographical info from Wikipedia from those who may be unfamiliar:

Was she the inspiration for the character Elaine on Seinfeld? Heck, IIRC she was supposed to go to France if the powers of darkness prevailed in 11/04.

[ConservativeStatement]

According to Wikipedia: "Elaine was a composite of many female acquaintances of the writers, the two most prominent being writer Carol Leifer, Seinfeld's real-life ex-girlfriend, and the other being Monica Yates, Larry David's ex-girlfriend. In the show Elaine and Jerry dated, and "broke up", timeline-wise, just before the first episode, remaining friends over the course of the show."

Thanks for that information Mass Rep. I always thought Elaine was cute.

Laurie David is a joke. Michael Crichton patterned one of his characters after her in "State of Fear". It was great, and she got all offended by it, too.

Here's a link to the previous article about the barbecue fiasco:

Laurie David Curbs her Environmentalism

This is the one that Jacqueline Mendez-Diez was involved with.

Must be nice to have this much time on your hands, and to be free from having real problems, like the rest of us, so you have to think up new ones. I guess people just need something to worry about in their lives.

I haven't always liked Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I loved the episode in which Larry's (fictional) wife cancels their AAA membership because "all they care about is cars."
