Alec Baldwin "Very, Very Interested" In Political Run.

[elleng]

CNN released a transcript and video of the interview, which will air on "Parker Spitzer" on Wednesday and Thursday. Baldwin noted that all four of the U.S. presidents after Ronald Reagan were educated in Ivy League schools.

"What's missing is ...people who have not lost sight of what the middle-class in this country needs," said Baldwin, who was raised in suburban New York by parents who were teachers.

1. Please no.

Does he honestly think that the average Joe can relate to him? I think not.
Love his acting, appreciate his politics but think he needs to not run.

[AtomicKitten]

2. I'd really hate to see him go through the meat grinder of politics.

He's a brilliant comedian and would be sorely missed in that capacity.

[shanti]

3. sorry

arnold already crapped on that idea :eyes:

[pipoman]

4. Oh jeez...

[PinkTiger]

5. His private life is not in order.

Not that every politician's is, but he has some serious baggage.

[right2bfree]

18. No kidding. He has had lots of affairs. Not good. nt

[FrancisTreptoe]

6. He doesn't have what it takes.

It is always easier from the outside looking in.

7. Go. For. It. Baaaaabyyy!

Thanks in advance.

what a fucking idiot, Clinton and Obama went to Ivy League Schools, but both grew up

without wealth.

9. I used to like Alec until he came up with that whole

"parental alienation" crap to excuse his verbally abusive rant on his daughter. He seems to have a very volatile temper and blames others for it instead of taking resonsibility. I wouldn't support his run for any office.

[emilyg]

10. Agree with you.

[liskddksil]

11. Because of his strong support for the arts in NYC -

I will support a candidacy by him.

[yodermon]

12. George Clooney, yes n/t

[Initech]

13. Can we at least get a couple more seasons of 30 Rock?

[progressoid]

14. Well Alec, there are a lot of things missing

but you in Washington ain't necessarily one of them.

[Mojambo]

15. It'd be interesting to watch. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

16. umm...

[Common Sense Party]

17. Oh. no. Can you imagine? Trump vs. Baldwin.

Just shoot me now.

[HEyHEY]

19. If you can win an election after calling your daughter a "little Bitch" well done

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Jesus. Can't we do better than that sop?

I want someone like Chris Rock to run. Or Zach Gallifinakis.

Damn shame Bill Hicks is dead.


How about Seth Green?

[Raine]

21. Just what we need another shit for brains actor

thinking he can do more than memorize lines. I'm a Californian, I know firsthand how actors have turned my state into a fucking mess. :mad: :grr:

[upi402]

22. That's great news

I hope he does it.
