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.

I don't usually read. I try to walk a league every day and carry a CD player with me. I prefer the Robiecheaux character on CD; the voice projects his character much more vividly than the printed word. I will keep my eye open for "Feast Day of Fools."

“Many didn’t even get to high school, but they think they have some god given ability and power in politics, but it’s just money seeking the path of least resistance.”

I heard one of the Commie ActorIdiots, (might have been Streisand or ASSner), proclaim that it was their DUTY as wordly, enlightened celebrities to educate the rest of us on how the world works.
