My neighboring congressman, hard at work:

For so many actors, there comes a time when the day job finally forces a farewell to the stage. But Gerry Connolly is keeping the dream alive — even now that he’s in Congress.
The Democratic House freshman from Fairfax is currently playing the small but crucial role of the taxi driver in a production of “Harvey” by NoVa’s Providence Players, despite the fact he made only one rehearsal with the community theater before the first curtain rose Sept. 25.

Good to see Congress has solved the economy, health care, Afghanistan, Iran . . . oh, wait, they haven’t.

But I guess it says something about the Virginia economy under Gov. Tim Kaine that even Gerry Connolly needs two jobs.

Next year Connolly is likely to face Keith Fimian, who, as far as I know, will not put any constituent work aside to make room for his aspirations to win a Tony Award.
