Hey! He played Jimmy Doolittle in Pearl Harbor. That makes him an expert on WWII and a prime spokesman.

Actual conversation heard at my house this weekend in response to these spots....

Daughter: Alec Baldwin? I thought he was leaving?

Wife: He didn't.

Daughter: Too bad.

Maybe the spots are being filmed in France, where Mr. Baldwin took up residence after George Bush was elected President.

Or so I'm told.

It's the only paying gig his agent has been able to get for the bloviator.

It's because the people who run the History Channel have the same mindset as Hollywood. They think Baldwin is one of them (and they are right - I mean, they are left.)

Who knows why he's on. Trying to restore his tarnished image. What a work! He looks like a drunk punk. I have these hollywood people figured out. The reason they are so left wing in their views has more to do with them feeling they are more marketable that way. It's all about money and sales. By being anti-government they somehow they think more people will go see their movies or buy their records. They are wrong and bums like alex baldwin are proof. Now evidently he's trying to make the turned off public think he's patriotic when all anyone has to do is read all of his antics during the Clinton years and just see how out of control this drunken bruser really is. A mental midget if you ask me. I can't stand to look at his face.

You are correct. Besides, he has a decent voice. Also, I read sometime back that he vowed to keep his mouth shut from now on. He was too over the top and he said he learned his lesson. Man's gotta eat.

"They insinuated that the war was already over and there was absolutely no military reason for the use of the A-bombs."

I guess the fact escapes these "intellectuals" that we were expecting such enormous casualties that we are still using Purple Heart medals to this day which were made for the land invasion of Japan. Makes one sick to the stomach to think that Kerry got three of those that were made for true heroes back in WWII.

I fired off an angry email to the History Channel Saturday night about this. No reply (yet). I change the channel every time his smarmy, treasonous face comes on.

I think HC is under the Disney umbrella. It has always been PC.

Yet History Channel International is pretty good.
