Alec Baldwin might run for Congress

America’s favorite fictional mogul could be looking to move his office from 30 Rock to Capitol Hill, MSNBC reported today. The network is quoting sources close to actor Alec Baldwin as saying the actor intends to challenge Randy Altschuler of New York for Congress in two years if the Republican candidate ends up winning the House seat currently occupied by Rep. Tim Bishop, D-N.Y. The Altschuler-Bishop race is one of a handful still deemed too close to call; the most recent count shows Bishop, a four-term incumbent, trailing by less than 400 votes. Baldwin is no stranger to politics. He has been both criticized and acclaimed for his outspoken support of the Democratic Party (he donated $2,000 to Bishop’s campaign this year), and in an interview with CNN last year, revealed his interest in running for public office. “The desire is there; that’s one component,” he said. “The other component is opportunity.”

Alec’s really gone to seed. Look at that gut and those jowls. He used to be very handsome.

I know the neighborhood where Kim B lives here in L.A. Based on whom I spoke with in that affluent community, Basinger isnt exactly friendly, but they said that Alec hands-down is 10 times the monster.

Funny how the other Baldwins like Adam and the other Christian Baldwin are conservatives.

I’ve met two of his brothers and they are really nice guys. The kind you would want to drink with but, haven’t seen them in about 8 years.

Congress, as a Representative? Definitely. It’s not like Republicans don’t have actors running for office. Reagan, Swartzeneggar. Baldwin is a pretty big star, he’d win the Democratic nomination certainly, and depending on the district, win there as well. This was a seat that was held by Democrats?

Oddly Alec is a vegetarian and he has gained, gained, gained. He has announced to all he is done acting in films. He is turning down film scripts left and right. I guess this ‘politician thang’ is his next fantasy. Too bad his other fantasy is not more exercise and a low carb diet. I think our only hope for him is that he might wake up from his sugar, carb haze and see he has been sick with liberal mental illness. :-D.

Adam usually has a segment on Evil Conservative Radio and he’s exactly like the character he plays on Chuck, pro-Reagan and very conservative. Stephen still owns a nightclub on the Strip as far as I know, forgot what it’s called but I’ve been in it..

A see one on occasion. You’re right. They are good guys and actually Alec in person is a humble guy. Too bad their politics are all off. It is that blue collar union mentality they come from in NY.

I’d rather see any of his brothers in office. More entertainment value.

He looks as bad as I do, except I don’t wear the Special Ed glasses.
