'Seinfeld' Actor Stars In Anti-GOP Video (Even the Left hates it)
Deadline Hollywood ^ | 3 Aug 07 | Nikki Finke

Posted on 08/13/2007 6:40:41 AM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

No wonder his post sitcome Rush immitation sitcom failed.

Hollyweirds post sitcom life is real dead for those with hits. The “friends” shows are all gone and nobody has seen any of them. The limited succes that I have seen have been imitations of the same characters. (joey actor play joey)

Regardless these hollyweird types now have an itch to attack Rush.

Rats are cornered by the harmless fuzzball of truth?

LOL What’s funny about this is that the left is showing its agenda and tactics while complaining about those of the right.

BDS has taken over completely. The first sign is a total loss of sense of humor. Poor Jason - that's all the little toad had going for him.

Had the video been even remotely clever or funny, I could have at least chuckled and said, "good shot". These people are pathetic. What's even moreso is they believe this rot will be effective in winning hearts and minds that aren't already poisoned by hate to begin with. Ain't gonna happen.

Jason Alexander has been the biggest failure of the four following the end of “Seinfeld”. Just pathetic.

What a freakin’idiot.

Alexander the Least has gone from shrinkage of the Johnson to shrinkage of the brain.

OMG, I'm embarrassed for him. Seriously, he is officially in career hell.

He'll always have the Seinfeld millions. But other than that, it looks like homemade YouTube productions for Jason.

You know, I can laugh at a well-done parody or satire no matter who it skewers, but this was pitiful.

I never heard of this. Did Alexander play the part of Alex, Neil or Geddy?

:^)

It was either this movie... or back to hand-modeling.

Maybe they were going to resurrect the old "Duckman" series/cartoon.
