After 14 years of marriage and two children, Laurie and Larry David have reportedly decided to call it quits, according to the New York Post.

The breakup has been civil, concerning no known third parties, the Post says.

I guess not even the most liberal of Hollywood personalities can take Laurie David's shrill, holier-than-thou personality.

Larry: “I’ll use as much darn TP as I want!”

[ichabod1]

I wondered whether she and Sheryl Crow were more than friends when they were touring.

[BipolarBob]

Never heard of either one. I guess I’m supposed to be shocked . . . or something.

[UKrepublican]

I’m betting he’s feeling pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty bad about this.

I’m sorry, had to be said.

[Shermy]

Who gets the carbon credits?

[RetSignman]

Pity.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Who gets the carbon credits?

Now that's funny!

[CholeraJoe]

My thoughts exactly. The TV interview while still in their PJs was a dead giveaway.

[Borges]

Larry David co-created ‘Seinfeld’ and created and stars in ‘Curb Your Enthusaism’.

[AngryJawa]

She was killing Independent Larry.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

True.

Who are these people, and why should I care?

[fieldmarshaldj]

I feel sorry for the kids, but Larry must be a saint for putting up with this horrible woman.

[massgopguy]

This was supposed to be the Summer of Larry!

[leadpenny]

I wish them both well. Larry David is a genius.

[AngryJawa]

This was supposed to be the Summer of Larry!

It will be now. Barring shrinkage, of course.

[dawn53]

You’re not alone, I don’t know who they are either.

[Argus]

When she didn’t die after personally sealing all the invitations to the premiere of An Inconvenient Truth, Larry knew there was no alternative but to go ahead with the divorce.

I found this on wikipedia

Laurie David has been subject to persistent criticism for being less than consistent in her environmental positioning. For example, she was fined by a local regulatory body on Martha's Vinyard for violating local environmental ordinances in the construction of her large home.[5] Further, The Atlantic Monthly has termed David "a Gulfstream liberal". The magazine asserts that, "Laurie David, who dedicates herself to fighting for improved fuel-economy standards and reviles the owners of SUVs as terrorist enablers, gives herself a pass when it comes to chartering one of the most wasteful uses of fossil-based fuels imaginable: a private plane."[6] By way of comparison, David's choice to use a Gulfstream aircraft to fly between her large Los Angeles home and her large Martha's Vineyard home is some ten times less efficient than using a standard Boeing 737.[7] In an interview with The Guardian in November of 2006, Ms. David acknowledged that owning two homes on opposite sides of the country and flying in a private jet several times per year is at odds with her message to others. In the interview she notes "Yes, I take a private plane on holiday a couple of times a year, and I feel horribly guilty about it. I probably shouldn't do it. But the truth is, I'm not perfect. This is not about perfection. I don't expect anybody else to be perfect either. That's what hurts the environmental movement – holding people to a standard they cannot meet. That just pushes people away."[8]

If the standards cannot be met by her, what makes her think that the rest of us either can, or want to.

Or is it just that she's "special".

[chesty_puller]

Never heard of either one.

I clicked on the thread to see if I could figure-out who they were. Not a chance.

[Pharmboy]

Here they are!

[org.whodat]

I guess not even the most liberal of Hollywood personalities can take Laurie David's shrill, holier-than-thou personalit

Real good breaking news, I didn't know who the clowns were, had to look it up.

But still don't give a rat's butt.

[Pharmboy]

She tain’t nuthin’ w/o Larry’s money...

[ichabod1]

Larry David was the creator of Seinfeld.

[ichabod1]

Worlds Collide, Larry, Worlds Collide!

[Gideon Reader]

It’s his damned Carbon footprint, THAT’S what it is.
He’s so, so, so,...Goreless!

[ichabod1]

He really is. I didn’t used to think so, but after watching all of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes, I think he really is a comedic genius. He could have played George, I wonder why he didn’t.

[Minutemen]

Laurie and Larry David? If I have to google them, they can’t be too important.

[Oratam]

LARRY: But I had hand. I had hand!

LAURIE: And you're gonna need it!

[SoldierDad]

WHO???

[CaptainK]

She’s high maintenance even for a Hollywood wife.

[Borges]

You never watched Seinfeld?

[Tax-chick]

How cute ... the young lady’s Grandpa bought her some implants.

[Bushbacker1]

That use of only one sheet of TP was just too much for them. They couldn’t stand to be around each because of the smell!

[thegreatbeast]

I hope he has an ironclad pre-nup.

[LetGoNow]

How many stupid threads do we need on these people who don’t even matter?

Blech!

[dawn53]

You never watched Seinfeld?

I'm not much of a TV watcher. I've caught an episode now and again. But as far as I knew, I thought Seinfeld created Seinfeld.

[libertarianPA]

This could be THE story of the year, d@mn it!!! You have NO idea how this will change our lives.

...or not. I can’t decide. I should really put the crack pipe down.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

It's been hinted that she has plenty of her own. Her bio is suspiciously absent hard facts.

Apparently she started out as a "talent booker" on Letterman which is a job that often goes to offspring of major movers and shakers.

[LetGoNow]

Nope. Never. And proud of it.

[ichabod1]

Larry *IS* George. Jerry was pretty much the straight man, George was the comedian. George’s antics were totally based on Larry, and from watching “Curb Your Enthusiasm” I have the impression that Larry had his hand up George’s butt moving his mouth the whole time.

[ichabod1]

The Seinfeld show had a way of showing us the things in ourselves that we don’t like very much, but when we saw the characters doing them, we could laugh. We were laughing at ourselves in reality, not the characters. It was brilliant.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Who the heck are they? I’ve never heard of them.

[Pharmboy]

Game, set and match to Tax-chick.

[Tax-chick]

Thank you!

[Rodney King]

Larry David is perhaps the funniest man alive. A true genius. His wife is a shrill B*tch.

[Rodney King]

His TV wife is, without question, the sexiest 45+ woman in the country.

[Borges]

Uuum ok. Why you’d be proud of missing out on one of the great America cultural achievements is beyond me.

[LetGoNow]

Our definition of cultural achievements obviously differs greatly.

[Borges]

Well it’s studied in universities and has been compared to European Absurdist theater like Beckett and Ionescu. I would say that’s a great cultural pedigree.
