Alec Baldwin slams CNN's Jack Cafferty
Politico ^ | July 9, 2009 | Michael Calderone

Posted on 07/09/2009 3:55:41 PM PDT by joinedafterattack

Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock star, HuffPost blogger and rumored Senate candidate, took a swipe at Jack Cafferty over comments he made yesterday on CNN.

In talking about actors running for office, Cafferty described Baldwin's credentials as "questionable," but noted that Al Franken is Harvard-educated. That prompted Baldwin to ask: "So Franken fits the mold for Cafferty because he went to Harvard?

I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don't tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won't say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a "Man of the People" on a major cable news network.

Cafferty’s remarks about Harvard really is completely insane. Besides which if I’d known that Franken went to Harvard, I would have had an even lower image of him than I do.

................., you don’t tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office..................

Of couse not!

All these buffoons in Washington love to be in the kleig lights. A career in faking emotions and playing transparent humans is the ultimate qualifier for being a politician! Idiots all!
