Sensing that the time may be ripe for a pompous Hollywood blowhard to enter congress, Actor Alec Baldwin, best known for his buffoonish antics on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, says he is seriously thinking about running for political office.
Ive always had an interest in politics, Baldwin said. It was when I did an SNL sketch parodying Barney Frank, that I thoughtif a lisping pansy like him can get elected to congress, why not me?
Baldwin was undaunted by the potential negative effect on his prospects of a widely circulated voice-mail message in which he called his daughter a thoughtless little pig. Most voters are parents, Baldwin said. I think they know where Im coming from on this issue. My bratty daughter doesnt appreciate how lucky she is. She couldve been aborted. Im the one whos being put upon here.

I fervently wish that Harrison Ford had done ‘Hunt for Red Oktober’. I would have no qualms about watching the re-runs ...
Is is not this Baldwin that said he would leave the USA if Bush was elected? Why is he still here then; is he not a man of his word? ... Oh right, he is a Democrat. A democrat’s promise is not binding ...
"Most voters are parents" is exactly the reason this moron has no chance after that little outburst.
Satire...but Baldwin is eminently capable of saying things this stupid at any time.
If a conservative had said “lisping pansy” the hypocritical outrage would be all over the news channels. Baldwin hates conservatives, so he gets away with it.
It wasn't acting.
It’s satire. Although, I can imagine him thinking/saying it.
Just think! This moron is using valuable oxygen that the rest of us could be using!
Satire, I know, but this sounds like something he'd say.
He'd probably scream in pain.
It was kinda late when I read that....totally believable though.
Bing they killed them (graphically) all at the end, seems like skating close to something, but not being a lawyer I don’t know what.
Yes — and I wouldn’t have believed a man like him with so much to lose in the public eye would speak to his little girl that way - if I hadn’t heard it with my own ears. I’ve heard his excuses and reasons for why he spoke to her that way. It is sickening.
There are some words spoken to the human soul that can echo in our mind like a broken record, for our entire lives. We can assume that Mr. Baldwin has spoken MANY words like this to his daughter that have never been recorded on tape. Frankly, having a father like THAT is worse than having no father at all.
Well said!
