Actor Waterston Says Politics Is Broken - Huffpo

Actor Waterston Says Politics Is Broken - Entertainment on The Huffington Post: "Sam Waterston, whose character Jack McCoy recently became district attorney on the long-running NBC crime drama 'Law & Order,' says he has no interest in following Fred Thompson's lead and running for office _ but he is dipping his toe into the political waters.

He has become the spokesman for Denver-based Unity08, a centrist effort for political change that is trying to put a bipartisan ticket picked over the Internet on the presidential ballot in all 50 states.

'Bitter partisanship remains the reality in Washington, proof positive that the system is broken, and that a third force in the middle is essential to fix it,' Waterston says on a video posted Dec. 4 on YouTube and on the Unity08 Web site."
