NEW YORK In an interview for tomorrow's New York Times Magazine, actor Alec Baldwin reveals that if he decides to run for office "the thing I would like to be is governor New York." He claims he would "love" to spend time in Albany and other upstate cites, at least partly because his mother now lives in Syracuse.
Is he qualified? The liberal activist says the thing he "hates" about Arnold Schwarzenegger is his "only credentials are that he ran a fitness program under some bygone president....I'm Tocqueville compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger. "
Why not run for governor of California? "Then I would have to live in California. And who wants to live in California?"
Baldwin also said that he has a great relationship with his conservative Christian brother Stephen, and his brother Billy "is loved by all. See, that is something I don't have in my life. I want to be adored."
Finally, he said he can count the movies he has worked in that he really loves on the fingers of one hand.

I heard that Paris France could use a good mayor and I thought that Alex was moving there anyway.

Sweet Jesus, the man has finally lost his mind! But, you know, in this world it could happen, Lord save us all, it could happen.

It seems that he would be a governor that most in NY would deserve.

It would be just great reading how Alec punched a hole in the wall of the gubnah's mansion in Albany.
PS: doesn't he have serious anger management issues? LOL

From what I've read he could win.They elected carpetbagger Hillary, so anythings possible.
To: MBB1984
They elected Clinton as a senator. This guy has as many qualifications as she did.

Well, actually, Alec, Arnold ran an initiative campaign in '02. I don't ever remember hearing about you running a campaign, Tocqueville.

Is he qualified?
A governor is 85% CEO and 15% politician. Arnold is overqualified to be the governor of California.
Alec Baldwin, on the other hand, is the president of F.A.G.

LOL!
I remember, when my brothers and I saw an ad for the "Thomas the Tank Engine" movie, it kept talking about how the heroes were trying to save the town's 'Magic Sparkles' or something. Upon hearing this, my older brother said, "Alec Baldwin lost his 'Magic Sparkles' a long time ago."
'. See, that is something I don't have in my life. I want to be adored."
Now, Alec, that is what's known as Pride, which is considered by many to be among the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins. He demonstrated a great deal of Envy, too, for the way he talked about the Governator.
