Take This Country And Shove It

By Edmond Keenan Wynn

MUNICH, Germany (AP) - If George W. Bush wins the U.S. presidential election this November, he may not be the only one moving into a new house. Kim Basinger said her husband, actor and Democratic party activist Alec Baldwin, was serious when he said he would leave the United States if the Republican wins. "Alec is the biggest moralist that I know," she was quoted as saying in Focus magazine, which hits newsstands Monday. "He stands completely behind what he says." Asked if she'd move with him, Basinger said: "I can very well imagine that Alec makes good on his threat. And then I'd probably have to go too."

BALDWIN FURY: BLASTS REPORT; SAYS WILL NOT LEAVE USA OVER BUSH

Actoractivist Alec Baldwin, who once claimed he wanted to be "the Matt Drudge of St Bart’s island", blasted the DRUDGE REPORT late Monday for linking to an ASSOCIATED PRESS wire story that stated he was prepared to leave America if George W. Bush was elected president.

"First, always consider the source of anything reported as ‘news‘ ... in my opinion, Matt Drudge is a poor source of any reliable news information," Baldwin declared on his website.

"Drudge forces me to set the record straight... typically, his reports should be reviewed with great skepticism," Baldwin claimed.

Over the weekend the DRUDGE REPORT linked to an ASSOCIATED PRESS report that moved several times on the service’s "A-Wire" with the headline "Baldwins Will Leave if Bush Wins."

The AP report also appeared on the websites of the WASHINGTON POST, LOS ANGELES TIMES, NEWSDAY and dozens of others.

The wire reported: "Kim Basinger said her husband, actor Alec Baldwin, was serious when he said he would leave the United States if the Republican wins."

The DRUDGE REPORT did no original material on Baldwin, yet Baldwin [who starred in the movie MALICE, among others] singled out DRUDGE over all the other Legacy Media outlets: "Matt Drudge has reported that my wife stated in FOCUS magazine that my family would leave the country if George W. Bush were elected president....My wife and I will not ‘leave the country‘, regardless of the outcome of the coming election."

It is not clear if Baldwin still fantasizes about being Drudge, as he recently revealed to COSMOPOLITAN magazine:

"If I had to say honestly what I think each of my brothers would have ended up doing [if they hadn't become actors]: bank robbery for Daniel; running a strip club or being a male stripper for Stephen; Billy would be a Catholic priest, of course, just to further drive women insane; and I would be living on a Caribbean island, with an Internet newsletter, the Matt Drudge of Saint Bart's."

Baldwin, by the way, has failed to demand a retraction from AP or from anybody else, including Matt Drudge. And none of these news outlets have offered to retract.
