This could be his greatest role ever.

Actor Richard Gere’s name is being floated as a potential candidate for Congress in the northern suburbs, The Post has learned.

The 68-year-old activist, who lives in Pound Ridge, Westchester, within the district, is being talked up in Democratic circles as a possible replacement for Maloney.

“Richard Gere’s name is being whispered about among Democrats. We’ll see what he’s made of,” said Middletown Mayor Joe DeStefano, an influential Democrat in Orange County, which makes up much of the district.

If these types of people ever regain control of this nation, I want to find another place to live and die. I have nothing in common with people who think this way, and I can’t imagine living in a world in which they have the stature and control they crave.

Warren Beaty is thinking: “Do I dare even let myself think about it? Being President would be a great Swan Song for my career. I’m already a Hollywood legend!”

He’s so vain, he probably thinks this campaign is about him.

Mrs. Kaehurowing and I were seriously thinking of moving to S. Korea if Hillary won. It is still an option.

Yup. People dressed as gerbils would haunt his campaign.

Gere, Is he what women want?

Maloney, is he the one with the commercial about President Trump tearing down his house?

What is it about actors who think they can be in politics? Just another acting job? who will write their scripts?

That has been the long time rumor about Gere. Snopes denies it of course.

I remember 30-40 years ago a nurse took money from The Inquirer and told the story. Take it or leave it. It’s what people think

Gere will say “Ya know what? I’m not responding to any more of that ‘Gerbil’ stuff. Only a few dozen middle-aged kooks are still spinning that yarn. Now, let me tell you how I want to remold all American Schools!”
