This guy needs to see real action...

[ICE-FLYER]

Gross thing #1....He needs to remove the military uniform.

Also, it will not be long before this anti-American piece of garbage is calling Christians "American Taliban" and that Bush is tgheir cult leader.

I am INSULTED that he is wearing a flight suit with the Insignia of a Pilot on it. Those wings are difficult to obtain, and most people who see this criminal talking and addressing people in this uniform don't realize that he is Impersonating an Pilot of the US Military.

Here he is trashing George Bush, who is a REAL and ACTUAL Military Pilot, and yet he Pretends to be one. It so disgusts me. I want to see him pay for this. Can't he be arrested or something? Is there any Freeper who has any ideas?

George Bush is the CIC can't he use the UNMJ or something to imprison this clown?


Or, if he had some actual military record, couldn't the prsident reinstate him and give him duty as a private in a real nasty place?


I want ideas!!!!

Alec should learn this is a constitutional republic, not just a democracy. Those who qualify as having won an election according to the standards established by that constitution, take office, whether he agrees with it or not.

[Chi-townChief]

I thought this pig was leaving the country.

[vannrox]

This PIG should NEVER EVER wear a Unitied States Military Uniform. It is an INSULT to every person who ever served in the Military.

Whatever happened to "moving on" to "more important things"?

[Bigg Red]

"...what that euphemism means..."

What euphemism, Baldwin? There wasn't any euphemism for you to explain in your preceding phrase! I think you've destroyed too many brain cells over the years. BTW, when are you leaving the country, clymer?

[Jaded]

Goodbye Alex.

[RLK]

I see no insignia of rank on his shoulders. Therefore he is no impersonating an officer. He's actin in his let's pretend image world. He played General Dolittle in his last movie, so he thinks he's a real general.

[CWRWinger]

First of all...Alec Baldwin "ain't nobody".

From the title, the disputed vote may have damaged democracy, but it fortified the Republic.

[Doug Fiedor]

Excuse me. Why in hell does a talking manikin get quoted as a newsmaker? His only real function in life is make-believe. He mouths the words other prepare. He has absolutely no credibility commenting on real life -- unless one is interested in which type of luxury car to purchase, that is.

[lilylangtree]

Why is Alec Baldwin still in this country? He was suppose to leave, the lily-livered, coward when Bush got the presidency. If our democracy is so damaged according to Baldwin, why is it that many cities are changing from the chad voting system to computerized so that a "Florida" won't happen again?

[vikingchick]

Alec Frenchman needs to leave for gay Paree right now, although who knows? Maybe even France has standards and they won't let him in.

Actor compares 2000 election to Sept. 11

This title is misleading. I didn't expect to see Alec-it said actor.

[arly]

Is that a red china uniform this as@clown has on ?...

[Publius]

"Florida has moved on and America has moved on," she said. "We've got a president with incredibly high ratings now."

This comment from a Bush spokesmen is the wrong way to go and shows a lack of understanding (and respect) for the Constitution. High ratings do not justify the actions Baldwin has charged. It's as if she is saying, "Might makes right."

The correct answer is:

• The Constitution was followed to the letter. The state legislatures are authorized to decide the matter of presidential electors. States are not even required to hold popular vote elections for presidential electors.
• The Florida Supreme Court exceeded its authority and was reversed by the US Supreme Court, which did not "select" Bush but corrected an illegal state court decision intended to take the matter of electors out of the hands of the legislature.
• This is a Republic, not a democracy. Mr. Baldwin should go into that cardboard box in his attic and pull out that high school history book he didn't even bother to read. (He was probably too busy smoking weed and figuring out the next girl he was going to jump.) Tell him to read his Constitution!

Then take him on about the uniform he is desecrating.

[linn37]

maybe he will open another guestbook hahahaha

[RLK]

His standing up there in that military jacket is just as subjectively real to him as if he'd been through D-day or Iwo Jima. It just as real to his audience.
