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.”

It’ll be FUN! We’ll get to play his profane rant to his daughter 24/7. :)
Been to a club in Vegas on the strip and can’t remember the name of it?
LOL!!!! Been there.
Went to Red Square once and didn’t remember anything the next day. Had to look at the receipts in my pocket to figure out where I’d been.
Apparently my friend had lost some $20k and said I got mad at him, told I could do better and walked from the table 2 hours later with $3,800 according to him.
He said we were laughing and he thought he was drunk. Said I was carrying him on my shoulder and his last memory was walking into to this cool bar with a giant head in the closet.
What a weekend.
“Alec’s really gone to seed. Look at that gut and those jowls. He used to be very handsome.”
People age.
I hate to hijack a thread, but you’ve been to Red Square? I want to go just once cause the chicks there are damn hot.
I believe it was, which is why I said he’d probably win.
Are you kidding? He’s not going to run unless it’s a sure fire bet that he will win.
Smoking hot bar and you can order caviar in a hearbeat without having to wait forever.
Not that I care for fish eggs but it is part of mood for that bar. Besides I can ask for extra egg and sour cream when I don’t feel like plunking down the big bucks for Beluga.
And the women are all smoking hot!
LOL!! If Al Franken can be a Senator, then ANYONE can be in govt......STUPID PEOPLE VOTE STUPIDLY!
Why? Baldwin could be the next Ronald Reagan!
/sarc
PLEEEEEEEEEEZE do so!
Adam Baldwin is NOT one of the Baldwin brothers; he’s a different Baldwin. The Baldwins of Massepequa are Alec, Billy, Stephen and Daniel (who seems as troubled as Alec, but in more of a traditional “rehab” kind of way). It’s a very interesting clan/
Baldwin has no legislative experience. He knows nothing about the law, except for what he may have gleaned in connection to legal repurcussions for his gross mistreatment of his daughter and his numberous visits to family law court.
Replays of his screaming advocacy of stoning other members of congress might work against his candidacy as well.
LOL! Ain’t da truth!
Running for Grayson’s seat might be a better fit for Baldwin.
Pahahahah! Save that for campaign literature please!
Baldwin would probably win, too.
We’ve seen that effect with Obama and the voters - all it takes is someone who can spread bullshit like butter, and Baldwin certainly has that gift. For too many people, policy stands and character traits take a back seat to photogenics and a good speaking ability. Welcome to American Idol politics.
I don’t like Alec Baldwin, but that was a great scene.
Wasn't he also the one that had a picture of Bush with a target on the head?
