[Argus]

sacrificing your life to government work

You don't really believe this do you? There are few easier glide paths to wealth in America than politics, especially at the federal level. Nobody leaves Congress broke.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Alec, just get the runs and sit in the can for, oh, say 25 years.

[Ben Mugged]

rehabilitated from the showbiz dead

Only a British newspaper would know how to use overstatement as humor.

[DoughtyOne]

Well he's certainly qualified.  He's shot his mouth off on national television, looking berzerk.  He's shot his mouth of showing how out of touch on the issues he is.

Why he'd make a fine Democrat Congressman.  He's very representative of the ones we have now, and the posters at D.U., Daily KOS, Moveon.Org, and HuffnPuffingotn Post crowd.

It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween on Capital Hill these days...  the trolls are out in public now.  What's Baldwin if not just one more dreg...

                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't signed up for monthlies...

13% is good.  100% is better.  Let's go Freepers.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.  There are horderves, hot women with short skirts, and beer too.  Alert, the pizza just showed up!  It's a partaaaee...
Ladies, there were 15 lifeguards over there a few minutes ago.  (I'm beginning to feel a bit guilty... heh heh heh...)

The only thing these jackasses and their ilk should be running for is their lives from us with pitchforks.

Is this guy who was recorded calling his daughter a “little pig”?

What is he, a member of Franken’s party?

[Jim from C-Town]

Yeah, it's only $186,000. ayear, but it's all the money you can steal. have you ever noticed how someone could enter congress or the senate with no money and retire a few years later with millions of $’s

John Glenn was bankrupt after his first run for Senate. When he retired from “public Service” he was worth over $20 million and was a major stakeholder in RC Cola. Wow a great pilot and great investor. all that money and never made more than $120K a year in congress

[popdonnelly]

Congress needs more incompetent leftists.

[Tanniker Smith]

2012? Why wait so long?

[Tanniker Smith]

Bah, I misspelled franken too

Indeed. It's spelled F-R-I-K-K-E-N.

[razbinn]

Hey,why not Alec.He’ll probably do very well.After the african we got for pres—ent,and the dumb tw@t Minn got for a senator he’s a shoe-in!!!!!

[vaudine]

My two equal reactions to the thought:

---ARRRRGGGGGGHH!

---ROTFLMAO, ROTFLMAO!!!!

On second thought, he would fit right in today's Congress--isn't he one of the ones who said he would leave the country if Bush won again and then he reneged on his word--yep, a ringer for Congress.

Great another asshat, meat puppet in politics.

[Bon mots]

When did he stop beating his wife?

They should make his nasty phone message to his daughter an ad campaign.

Click to hear phone call

[TigersEye]

Now that most politicians are a joke the rush is on to elect the biggest clown you can find.

[sheik yerbouty]

Alec Baldwin, the Bloviator? Oh the inanity!

[sheik yerbouty]

It will be a storm that washes them out of office..
