News Media Commentary: Seinfeld Actor helping Warner raise money

As part of the "Blogging the Way to Election Day" feature today, I found a fun piece on Mark Warner.

Jason Alexander, formerly known as "George Costanza" on the TV show "Seinfeld" is helping former Democratic governor Mark Warner raise money!

Just dig this quote-

"If you thought Seinfeld was a show about nothing, you should check out Congress," Alexander said in a fundraising letter e-mailed to supporters. "I can't remember such a lack of productivity since the summer of George."

Excellent! (Does "George" even live anywhere near Virginia?")

I mean, not that Warner really needs Alexander's help- as I've already noted in past blog entries, he, at least a while ago, was outraising Jim Gilmore eight to one. But it's pretty cool nonetheless.

And now I have the opportunity to post pseudo-stalkerish photos of Jason Alexander from Flickr! I love Creative Commons!


(Photo by adjustafresh. Said he took it in Rhode Island so maybe Alexander lives on the East coast after all.)


And okay, the blog thing is cool- it puts together tons of little briefs on Virginia and national politics news. It's a fast way of getting a ton of -really random- news on politics.

And there's your news media commentary. Many apologies- I got distracted by my near-obsessive love of all things celebrity.
