Baldwin for New York governor?

Yeah, right!! All his opponenet will have to do is play that profanity laced message he left for his teenage daughter and Kim Bassinger and that's that.

He didn't call 9/11 Widows money hungry harpies who are glad their husbands were murdered did he?? Didn't think so. I'll take Baldwin over Coulter any day of the week.

john, I reread the post from Matthew Hay Brown and I can't for the life of me find where Mr. Brown wrote or insinuated in any way that Baldwin's opponent would be Ann Coulter. Can you show me where it says that? If not, can you please post a response relevant to the thread in which you are posting?

"There's other things I want to do [besides acting]," Baldwin tells ... Morley Safer

Parenting perhaps? and in the 1st place, what makes Baldwin think he CAN act? What an obnoxious, arrogant fool!

Ummmmmmm. Eww. Just -- eww.

Glad I'm not a New Yorker.

Ann Coulter hasn't run for any office in her life. Unlike Baldwin and Franken who have tons of skeletons (bitter divorces, unpaid taxes) in their closets while they continue to tell us how much smarter they are than all of us little people who aren't actors.

JB,
Just anticipating the loud chorus of the angry right who will no doubt pounce on Baldwin and criticize his parenting, No Chance didn't let me down. Yet strangely these same folks drag their rabid foaming rears to bookstores across America and continue to vote with their pocketbooks and show the rest of us how much Anne Coulter is adored and revered in your cult.

I would comment about the people of NY being dumb enough to elect him, but we vote in Rod, the Toddler, Jones.....

I thought he moved out of the US when Bush was elected.

Leaving that voicemail for HIS daughter should not hurt his chances .. i mean what if she WAS acting like a thoughless little pig?? Father knows best

How dare you mess with Aaaaarnold! I'll be back you sissy, girly man Alec. Also, you thoughtless little pig.

Forget about his parenting skills (or the lack thereof) for the moment. What about his politics?

He's a raving loon! He wouldn't know the meaning of the state and federal constitutionsIf if they bit him on the backside. If you want a fair and balanced summary of his politics, go see how he is portrayed in "Team America: World Police." It's right on the mark.

As for smarts, he is openly dumb. The French historian and social commentator's last name was "De Tocqueville," and not "Tocqueville." Tocqueville is a guy who runs a Philly Cheese Steak joint. So, yeah, maybe his is Tocqueville in comparison to The Governator.

Any comparison to Aahhnold is a waste of time anyway. He has too many people operating him like a puppet. That's why he acts like a Democrat.

Hey, Baldwin - you are still in the USA? Hit the road, I thought you were too good for this country. What a louse.

Typical liberal reaction to a criticism of one of their darling nutters. Instead of defending their hero, they point fingers at another nut on the opposite side. Critical thinking is not a liberal trait you know. One of the reasons they have so little affect in the real world. Work on the debate skills John, you come off like an idiot here. Maybe you are, who cares....

Strange how this "Actor", and I use the term loosely, says Arnie's only qualification is that he "ran a fitness program...". What is this idiots qualifications? A big mouth? Well, that's one.

"Asked if he was qualified to run for the office..."

LOL.

Oh, this was a serious question.

Come on. After Ronald Reagan and GW, does anyone really buy the notion that there's some sort of school of government someone has to attend? The role of the politician isn't to create new policies but to relate them to the public.

Politicians aren't in the business of writing policy, for goodness sakes. They are in the business of raising money so that various policies and philosophies can get a fair airing.

Baldwin would be able to do this at least as well as GW. Admittedly it's a low standard, but remember America, you elected GW not ONCE, but TWICE. So the precedence has been set.

"I'm Tocqueville compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger."

And I am Marie of Romania.

Hi John W,

I don't know any French, but I have learned enough about Tocqueville to know that most smart folks do not use the "de" when using his last name.

Just see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_de_Tocqueville

Baldwin is apprarently more learned than you, and for that I am very sorry.

Really?

I guess the French are dumb, then, because the omission of the particule "de" has never been uniform. Even in more remote history, it has been used along with a family name (without prenom or title) to emphasize the origin or nobility of the subject. Furthermore, the emerging practice in France is to use the particule "de" before the family name all of the time.

So much for Baldwin's smarts, my ignorance and your humble little swipe at me.

That's Rodgers and Hammerstein, not Rogers and Hammerstein. Where's the copy editor?

Mr Baldwin if you haven't left the country yet we could use you down in
Georgia we are short on dog catchers!

The world must be going insane.......

Mr. Baldwin is not a likeable man. He comes across as hostile, narcissistic, vicious and rude. His bizarre personal life is a real negative. I seriously doubt he could get elected as Governor. Oh wait a minute. The people of N.Y. elected Shrillary. Nevermind.

Not so " Smart Alec " .So arrogant , pompous , ignorant ,unthinking , nitwit , etc ...Well in the party of the Dems that sounds like pretty good qualifications .
