If you haven't seen the movie "The Edge" with Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins I recommend you do.
The Baldwin character Bob is a true POS. He comes across as a vile sterotypical liberal. It must have been an easy role for him. I can imagine that when Baldwin asked the director "how to a play Bob" ? The director probably told him "just be your yourself".
The protaganist Charles is a sterotypical conservative, played by Anthony Hopkins. A great flick.
"how to a play Bob" ? = "how do I play Bob"?
And notice how Jerry Bruckeimer's shows are all among the highest rated shows on tv now on two different networks, and he's a registered Republican. Most of the shows saturated with liberal slants and digs at conservatives and their values, the law and order trio, left wing, etc, aren't doing as well. I don't think that's a coincidence.
