Even Alec Baldwin thinks Palin is OK

[Stephanie Ogren]

His blog about Palin (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alec-baldwin/palin-on-isnli-what-did-y_b_136186.html)

Sure he throws a bit of rancor in there for the GOP (as expected), but not Palin. Good for Alec :D

Some people that used to irk me big time are surprising me in this election. What an exciting moment in history!

Alec Baldwin is gross.

Well, it IS nice when they come around to the Right way of thinking ;)

[strangejen]

HA HA HA! LOL

[strangejen]

did you just MOON me? LOL

[Stephanie Ogren]

did you just MOON me? LOL

I did indeed :lol
So much for a dignified discussion, eh? That's gone out the window. Oh well, we are talking about Alec Baldwin after all.

[kjbstevens]

Hey isn't Angelia Jolie's dad a huge republican? I think I saw him on the Huckabee show. I hate celebrities thinking their endorsements are worth something. Baldwin is gross but at least he has some taste now I guess. ;)

meh. I prefer this to the bickering. LOL!!!

Oh that's still debatable :lol

[snaggletooth75]

I used to like Alec before he got all gross LOL but I like the way hes thinking right now HA!

[NellieRose]

That's pretty funny considering he wasn't actually very nice about her on Bill Maher's show....

Yes he is. And I thought Baldwin said if Bush was elected again he was going to leave the country? Did he leave and come back again? Did I miss it? Where is that moon icon.......hehehe

I did indeed :lol

ROFL you guys are funny.

I'm never going to get a kit done in time for DSD. I keep coming back here to read.

:moon There's your moon Tammy, and his butt is a lot cuter than my big ol' pregnant one right now. :lol

See my thing with Palin is that she may well be a very nice lady. In fact, she may be extremely likable. However, with her actions that have come to light recently and the way I have seen her act/react to things I do not think she should be anywhere near the White House. If something happened to McCain it would be very concerning for me to see Palin as our President.

This is exactly how I feel...

Yeah, anything for a few laughs while working the room, right? LOL

Actually, during the opening skit on SNL last weekend I thought his distaste for her was what kept him so stiff & just staring ahead at the teleprompter or whatever it was off camera......when I saw him enter I was like "OK, here we go..." because he had just been on with Bill Maher and wasn't a big fan of Palin.

[vegaschristina]

I really don't care what celebs think about the candidates. I prefer to think for myself rather than have the Hollywood Elite do my thinking for me.

Yeah he did seem a bit stiff. Wahlberg wasn't though. "Hey say 'hi' to motha for me." :lol:lol

[NellieRose]

"Hey say 'hi' to motha for me." :lol:lol

I just can not stop saying that to anyone that will listen...I am a diehard Mark Wahlberg fan......if you close your eyes and listen to that skit you could mistake Adam Samberg for Mark Wahlberg! :D

Some of my girlfriends call my BF "Marky Mark" b/c he has a slight resemblance and I guess after a few cocktails the beer goggle effect takes over. :lol:giggle

[Theresa Hernandez]

You know, I know it was SNL and I know it was a skit and it was meant to be funny, but I just found his "you're way hotter in person" comment so condescending. Can you imagine them doing that to Obama if he'd come on?

[Charlene]

Meh, I think it was just SNLs un-PC way to be funny. It's what they do :shrug

[NellieRose]

You are absolutely right....I think she exposed herself, once again, in a way that is unbecoming of a Vice Presidential candidate......I am sure she has a sense of humor and loves to have fun but again, I find her behavior distatseful to have participated in those sketches......I would have preferred to see her do something else.

But wait, would I have been out of line to tell Barack and the Secret Service "You're much hotter than Jon Bon Jovi ever was!" as he entered Bon Jovi's driveway last month??? :blush:p:lol

[Tiffikat]

I think if Obama were on they would have made fun of his ears.

wait . . . what?

His ears and they would have to have jumped on his smoking. :D

[snaggletooth75]

:lol How do you think Obama would react?

Sorry, I like Barack enough to vote for him, but hotter than Bon Jovi? Ehhhh, what are you smokin'?

[Theresa Hernandez]

:lol How do you think Obama would react?

No clue. But I'm not good at guessing how anyone will react in a given situation. And when I try, I'm usually wrong... My psychic powers apparently got lost in the mail...

[NellieRose]

OMG!!! :rofl2

I was speaking to my mom on the phone just before he pulled up and I said "Could you imagine if I said something boneheaded like....." and rolled out Barack being hotter than Bon Jovi ever was...my mom's answer was, "even the SS would know to take you in for a thorough examination or take your temperature at the very least"! LOL

My mom then said "Oh, no! I would marry Bon Jovi in a heartbeat!" LOL

[NellieRose]

Your psychic powers and my invite to the $31,800 dinner at JBJ's house have gone missing in the postal system! :D

Here it is, just for you LMAO! "Now I'm going to talk to a chicken ... hey chicken how's it hanging? A lot people want to eat you but I just wanna talk to you OK?"
Samberg as Wahlberg (http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/mark-wahlberg-talks-to-animals/727504/)

[Chreamps]

I think this has been one of the most enjoyable threads yet, what was it about again?

All I can say is Marky Mark (The Italian Job) and Bon Jovi (yes, I'd marry him, too, just think if he were "old school morman" we all could!).

[snaggletooth75]

WHoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama SMOKES??????? Now he seems more human to me:lol I smoke too LOL
His ears and they would have to have jumped on his smoking. :D

[kjbstevens]

Yeah he's been a smoker for years. I think he did quit recently though. I think in the past year he finally did. How during this election I have no clue though. LOL

[scribler]

His ears and they would have to have jumped on his smoking. :D

He smokes? I've just always assumed he wasn't a smoker. Not sure why. (Okay, I know why, but saying so will probably get me in trouble. lol)

[Gina.Maria]

He's fallen off the wagon a few times during the campaign, but yes, he's a long-time smoker. It's one of the reasons why the actuarial tables don't show him as living to as high an age as McCain.

Someone at one of his rallies asked him how he was quitting because he needed to quit, too. Obama said he chews Nicorette (bet they were writhing in ecstasy at the Nicorette headquarters) and offered the man one. He pulled it right out of his pocket and tore off a bubble-packed piece.

Anyway, back to the subject of Alec Baldwin (and yes, I find him a bit repulsive, too) I was impressed by his writing and thinking skills because I never thought of him as all that bright :p. I think it's important to understand that he's likening her to Kissinger and telling us that he is horribly opposed to Kissinger's policies but that the person deserves respectful treatment in a forum that is not appropriate for debate.

I think, however, that he did get in a political zinger when he was allowed to treat her as a sex object. ("You're way hotter in person.") That she was a good sport isn't in question, but as a woman, I'd have liked to see some rejection of that statement by her.

Yeah, that's what really bothered me. I don't really agree with her on most issues, I don't like the way she's handling herself in this campaign, but really, she deserves more respect than that and her gender shouldn't be an issue. That was way worse than discussing Hillary's pant suits.
