Borrowing from Harry Potter, this video parody titled "Rovemort And The Sorcerer's Stonewall" and starring Jason Alexander was released today by the Campaign For America's Future. I wish I could say it was clever or fun, but it's so heavy-handed about Rush Limbaugh, Brit Hume, Trent Lott, Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Dubya that even a liberal like me finds it off-putting. (Surely Hollywood can help progressives put together more subtle and arresting footage than this!) The video is part of a national campaign to "expose the right's strategy of obstructing reform while attacking the 'do-nothing [Democrat-controlled] Congress'", timed to the YearlyKos conference in Chicago, and legislators on Capitol Hill preparing to return to their districts for the summer recess.
After seeing this video, I think Jerry would tell him that’s a shame.
You know, I always thought Jason Alexander would make a really good Dick Cheney. He doesn’t cut it as Karl Rove though.
The timing of the release just as Rove is retiring renders the video completely irrelevant, which is perfect classic George Costanza.
He never can catch a break, can he?
“George, I can’t stand ya.”
Unfortunately the show was a riot. Yeah I know Larry David is a big-time lib, but the show was among the greatest. I still LOL at the reruns.
Amen to that! I HATE hollywood and all it’s damned actors and actresses and their tv shows and movies. Screw them all and everyone should join me in boycotting (ignoring) all that comes from their stinking abyss. Did I make myself clear?
It’s really Larry David’s ex-wife who is the bigtime lib.
Larry David said the first thing he did when he got the house all to himself was to turn on all the lights!
The show itself made fun of political correctness, Kennedys, communists, Oliver Stone, LBJ, Neville Chamberlain, and Chappaquiddick, to name a few.
It also featured guest appearances from notables like Rudy Giuliani and Jerry Seinfeld’s best friend - comedian and occasional Weekly Standard essayist Larry Miller.
