I don't know Kate, I think it's best if he stayed making Movies/TV shows because in the last 5 years he has been really good in smaller roles and is really good in 30 Rock. The last thing the US government needs is an ultra-liberal in Congress.

Well if Al Franken can get "elected"...

"You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!"

File that one under "Clowns in politics!"

Didn't he just get booted out of rehab on that reality show for hitting on the pornlette?

For a second I thought it was Adam Baldwin you were talking about. Now THAT would have been cool!

"You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!"

Too effin funny!

I love that movie. Thanks for the great laugh.

If Al Franken can secure a slot at the trough of taxpayer's $

Why not a Baldwin?

Well I was going to make some comment about how a recurring theme in Kates posts right now seem to be the almost perpetual mess in the UK and how good it would be if we could get rid of a least one pompous arsehole like Baldwin who likes to be so European and Hopey Changey by running down the US.
BUT maybe we could do some sort of swap thing here which would be a lot easier (I'm warming to this theme now) and the US and you Canadians the Aussies and Kiwis could send all their undesirable socialists, communists, followers of the peace loving pedophile, gangsta rappas, media luvvies, celebrities etc etc to the UK (no one would ever know) assimilation would be a doddle and in exchange the odd few of us slightly right of the old center, you know the sort, freedom loving, hunting, riding, head in the wind G-d fearing types still remaining marooned in this swamp could have our passage to your shores eased from the somewhat onerous immigration criteria.
Look its a plan, you don't get Baldwin back, Hopey Changey would be right at home here, (his brother already made the first steps into becoming assimilated in the behavior when your not "indigenous") you get to remove some irksome types and we promise to work, well we've been supporting our welfare system for so long it'll be a breeze for us just remember NO bureaucrats or politicians or "government" employees. Hell that only leaves an absolute maximum of 3 out of every 10.
Go on

Team America, watched it once but I think that is where your "Arec Barrwin" reference is coming from.

Matt and Trey pegged it best with their satire of Hollywoods "bright" and shiny stars. How the f&^%! does being an actor give any idea of what is going on in the unedited world?, and what is most concerning is the poor saps that don't have the rational thought to dismiss them.

By 2012, hos will trump bros in America, a white male with a history of issues with his wife and daughter will have little chance of getting a Dem nomination, thanks to the actions of the Democratic party itself. He'll be Ike Turner once The Sisterhood gets done with him, we won't have to lift a finger. Hoisted on his own petard.

Sure, get the whole cast of SNL, past present and future, all in the Congress at one time, then God can finish His work on earth.

Kim Jong Il scolding Arec for his tirade at his daughter;

'You are worthress Arec Barrwin
You are worthress Arec Barrwin
You have faiwred in every way
and now my stock in you has fawren
Your career is stawrin’
and you’re worthress Arec Barrwin'

Playboy? Are they still publishing? Did his wife ever pose for it? I thought he was gonna move to Canada when Bush won the last time? Am I really interested in the answer to any of these questions?

the transcript of his voice mail sounds like that of selfcentred teenager

maybe he should take 40 years and grow up first, opps, he's liberal,growing up would be optional!!

Perhaps he will win the durka durka vote...

After watching a week of yankee worship of a pedrophile celebrity Balwins ambitions are not too far fetched.

Ottawa: HoC = House of Clowns

Washington, DC: Congress = Clowngress

But what if the conservatives win next time again? Will Baldwin then finally deliver on his promise and move away from the U.S.?

I mean, what is a man who's not a man of his word?

About Al Franken(stein): I've called him a "walking and talking birth defect" on my blog.

In fact, the more I see of Franken(stein), the more I'm convinced that he is an example of what happens when an aborted fetus is reanimated somehow and carried to term.

The horror!

Sure, get the whole cast of SNL, past present and future, all in the Congress at one time, then God can finish His work on earth.

Funny you should mention that. I was thinking about Tina Fey becoming the next governor of Alaska ... would anyone really know the difference ...?

LOL

Clooney will end up his VP.

Sure, get the whole cast of SNL, past present and future, all in the Congress at one time, then God can finish His work on earth.

Dennis Miller and E. Whitney Brown'll keep them in line.

I remember a B-grade actor who went on to become one of the most prolific and admired Presidents of the United States.

As for the Al Franken thing, I wouldn't compare him to Alec Baldwin. He's more along the lines of my favorite Ann Coulter who, incidentally, also thought of running for Congress.

And then theres Arnold, but he's ok because they drink Republican kool-aid. Not that Arnolds been very Republican off late. He could almost pass off as a democrat these days.

Congratulations on another round of objectivity at SDA, where people have convenient eyesight and even more convenient memories.

Well, he won't get the Filipino-American vote, will he? www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/18/philippine-senator-threat_n_204509.html

Sorry for linking to the HuffPo!!! But hey, Ruby is still single, isn't she? And she insulted Filipinos, also. They have so much in common!! Somebody set those two up!

I seem to recall some controversial statements Alec made a few years back....

(via Wiki)"During his appearance on the comedy late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien on December 12, 1998, eight days before President Bill Clinton was to be impeached, Baldwin said "if we were in another country... we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country."[38] Baldwin apologized, and the network explained it was meant as a joke and promised not to rerun it.[39]"

Yeah right, a joke? This guy's got too many skeletons in and out of the closet to make a serious run, but then again, Dem voters are a strange bunch.

He's got disdain for construction workers, as well:

Sorry for all the links, but Hollywood Liberals really really bug me.

Good night.

Twiddler:

Please answer the following questions:

1. Did the other B grade actor ever leave a phone message calling one of his children a "pig"? Yes or no.

2.Did the other B grade actor ever state that "opportunity and desire" were the only factors necessary to succeed as a poitician? Yes or no.

3. Are you comparing republicans to conservatives in Canada, or are you simply saying that any person and their dog (sorry Kate) can run for Congress in the US - as long as they are well known? Please elaborate.

4. Has Mr. Baldwin in fact, moved to Canada as he stated he would if Mr. Bush won another election? Because as a voter, I believe a politician is only as good as his word, kindly answer yes or no.

Thank you.

the ridicule of hollywood types vying for elected office can also be applied to one Ronald Reagan.
he perfected the process of confusing movie scenes thinking they had actually occurred in real life and then wedging the 'anecdotes' into his speeches and various other pronouncements.

I hope Arec Barrwin has the sense to hire Trey Parker and Matt Stone as his PR team. TAWP was the best PR he got since he decided to interface with the public without a script.

Speaking of celebs entering the fray of politics, there is a rumor John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimly from Lord of the Rings, may take a run at UK parliament as a Tory. His agenda is to pull the UK out of political union with the EU but keep trade ties.

What is it with actors and fantasy?

I would like to think that the ruddy creep would be disqualified by his party for the things he has said and done but he's going to run as a Democrat.

Not that the GOP are any better behaved but at least they eject their creeps when they have the bad judgement to be caught. The Dems don't seem to care at all that their creeps are doing things publicly. I guess the average Dem voter is someone who has had their moral compass smashed beyond redemption.

I dream of a world where only regular people are allowed to hold office and only for one term. No lawyers, silver-spoon half-wits, actors or sons/daughters of other politicians allowed.

"he perfected the process of confusing movie scenes thinking they had actually occurred in real life "
curious george

Yeah "perfected" it like that time when Ronald Reagan was first lady and he and his husband Bill landed at an airport while being shot at .
"And we just put our heads down and ran"
Good one Curios Goerge; that kills.
Got any other examples ?

Asked if he would be qualified for such a race in any case, he quipped: “That's what I hate about Arnold Schwarzenegger. His only credentials are that he ran a fitness programme under some bygone president... I'm [Alexis] de Tocqueville compared to Schwarzenegger."

Apparently Baldwin is a legend in his own mind at least.

What about Maaatttt Daayyymonn?

This guy is definitely political material.

IMO funniest movie ever!

Has BO apologized to Durka Durkastan yet?

F.A.G(film actors guild)describes Arek Barrwin nicely.

btw, has N. Korea received it's strongly worded letter yet?

I saw Kelsey Grammer on Huckabee's show a few months back and when asked about running for office, he said he had made too many mistakes in the past. As a conservative he would be burned at the stake for stuff he once did.

Hollywood Liberals don't consider anything they did or are doing mistakes or career killers. Their egos are too big to come to that realization, plus a complicit MSM would help them along with some hero worship.

Prior to running for office, Baldwin should address his anger management problem. He always appears to have anger just under his skin, giving one the impression that he's about to blow up at any time.

First Prize: Cadillac with driver
Second Prize: Set of steak knives
Third Prize: You're fired!!
