Quick, tell me what comes to mind when you think Alec Baldwin.
An A list talent who has made a splash here and there for some less than savoury elements of his private life? Titan of a clan of thespian brothers?
How about political sage?
Baldwin has a keen interest in the political world. It is an affinity shared by many in his profession who, like politicians, rely on name recognition to keep them in the pubic imagination. The list of actor turned politician is long and familiar (Reagan, Schwarzenegger) yet mostly unremarkable but for the latest buzz putting Matt Damon in a future bid for the White House.
Baldwin provides an alternative stance: wishful liberal pundit, who opines in a recent column about a lost America.
Whatever you think of the guy, he’s not flippant.
Judge for yourself.
