Alec Baldwin: Reagan Was a ‘Failed Actor’ Who Snubbed the Underprivileged

Alec Baldwin isn’t afraid to let his anti-Republican ideals surface from time to time.

On his new radio show (yes, he’s been given a show), “Here’s the Thing,” Baldwin decided to take some jabs at Ronald Reagan — a man who, like Baldwin, got his start in acting.

Baldwin didn’t go easy on Reagan either. “He was a failed actor who in my business what happens is you become ripe and you fall from that tree and you go — and he went into this other field because it was a role for him to play,” he said.

But he wasn’t done there. While chatting with GOP political strategist Ed Rollins, he continued. “Reagan seduced a whole generation of Americans into believing, you should have what you want more than they [the underprivileged] should have what they need, and don’t feel guilty about it,” Baldwin said. Rollins, of course, politely disagreed with Baldwin’s assessment.

Baldwin is a has been. Can’t think of any movie he made that wouldn’t be like a B movie.

Alec Baldwin - A pretty fair actor who snubbed sanity a long time ago.

Holy Crap!
Can you say gluttonous gravy suckin’ pig?

How appropriate, Alex Baldwin and failed actor in the same sentence.

At Baldwin’s age, Reagan was still making movies and appearing on TV. Baldwin, OTOH, does one or two commercials and bashes conservatives. How do you define success, Alec?

[EEGator]

Glengarry Glen Ross is a good one. He is still a total ass though.

[NoLibZone]

Alec is a wife beater.

[windsorknot]

Smart Alec. History will prominently reflect on the greatness of Ronald Reagan, as the name of a mediocre actor, Alec Baldwin will be a mere footnote.

Bloat like that can only come from chronic heavy drinking. This lush needs to dry out bigtime.

One of the things I liked about President Bush is how he snubbed these Hollywood pukes.
