The Most Interesting Man In The World Hosts Obama Fundraiser

[cynatnite]

[IMG][/IMG]

"The most interesting man in the world," the iconic spokesman from Dos Equis beer commercials, might not seem like an overtly political character. Giving his thoughts on the "two-party system" in one ad, the bearded gentleman advised in his gruff voice, "the after party is the one you want to attend."

But Jonathan Goldsmith, the actor who plays "the most interesting man," appears more willing to get involved in party politics. He'll be holding a fundraiser for President Barack Obama's reelection campaign on Tuesday in Burlington, Vt. Tickets for the event range from $20 to $500.

Goldsmith has a house in Vermont, and he's been linked with the state's Democrats before. Earlier this year, he met with Gov. Peter Shumlin (D).

The upcoming fundraiser could pay some dividends for Obama beyond the basic cash haul. ABC News noted in a report last month that Obama's Facebook fans are particularly fond of Dos Equis. Twenty-four thousand of them, or 3 percent of all of Obama's fans at the time, also liked the beer brand on Facebook.

1. Now that makes him interesting.

I still don't like his choice in beer though, green bottle.

[awoke_in_2003]

21. Dos Equis...

is far and above the toilet water known as Corona.

[liberal N proud]

32. Agreed! I prefer brown bottle beers.

[cadaverdog]

59. Viva Bohemia!

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

56. It's seasonal, stock up if you can find it:

Noche Buena Its name (literally "Good Night&quot means "Christmas Eve" Spanish. It is a seasonal beer that is only sold toward the end of the year.

Put out by the same brewery as produces Dos Equis.

[awoke_in_2003]

61. I will keep an eye out. nt

[CTyankee]

2. Didn't the most interesting man in the world already do this?

George Clooney held that fundraiser at his house in L.A. a month or so ago, IIRC...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. You mean Bill Clinton?

Bill Clinton has to be the real Most Interesting Man in the World.....

[kalli007]

36. That was my exact thought!

When I read the title.

[Zalatix]

45. Was.

Now it's Obama!

[CTyankee]

47. right after Clooney, I agree!

[cali]

[lovemydog]

37. The most interesting man does not go to the President's party...

[Whisp]

10. I love this man, he taught me to live vicariously through myself.

and I am now learning how to speak Russian, in French.


some unforgetable lines in those commercials, at least for my type of humour.

[Cha]

12. Sounds like a fun guy, Whisp!

The "most interesting man in the world" will be hosting the most interesting man in the world(in my view).

[Whisp]

18. you are correct.

now let me see what I have in my bag, Oh, here! The world's most handsome and interesting Presdent, Barack Obama!

[progressivebydesign]

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

14. Personally, I like how Bigfoot has taken a picture of him.

Perhaps I can be interesting and have a Chupacabra take a picture of me one day.

[TahitiNut]

39. He once had a nightmare ... that had foals.

He once had an attack of deja vu. Deja vu lost.

"I don't often get involved in politics. Unless Obama asks me to."

[Cha]

11. Brilliant! First I've heard of

him..not having a tv and all..

[lovemydog]

40. 'He lives vicariously, through himself.'

'He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.'

[flamingdem]

[Cha]

30. Thanks, madrchsod! nt

[JohnnyRingo]

13. Now the Romney campign has to follow suit.

Granted, the "second most interesting man in the world" doesn't have the same star appeal, but he has to identify with their base:

[Whisp]

19. lol. good one! n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

33. That's so me.

[lpbk2713]

There's a reason he's the most interesting man in the world.

34. I'm so out of the loop

Guess I've never heard of the world's most interesting man. Hmm. I haven't tried Dos Equis yet either, I don't think I've actually seen it yet in my little neck of the woods. I really ought to get out more.

[lovemydog]

38. Just surf more.

No reason to get out.

[davidthegnome]

43. Good point

At first I thought you were talking about the ocean, couldn't quite figure how that would help.

[calimary]

But hey, I won't complain!

49. GOLDSMITH was pals with Fernando LAMAS, on whom he based his "Most Interesting Man" bit

LAMAS was also Billy CRYSTAL's, "You. Look. Mahrvelous!1" and "It's better to LOOK good than to FEEL good."
