Alec Baldwin is worried that Sen. Hillary Clinton won't do what he thinks is the right thing for children's health.

"I know that you share my concern about this crucial issue."

"As a parent," Baldwin continued, "I see firsthand the challenges of keeping children focused on healthful foods. Hmmm...does that include feeding his daughter hog slop, considering that he thinks she's a "fat little pig."

Excessive alcohol consumption can make you puff up too Alec. Makes you leave nasty messages and smack photographers and wives too.

Didn’t Alec promise to leave the country if Bush were elected and stay out. You just can’t count on the promises of liberals!

Someone please clear this up. Either we have a nation of starving children because Republicans cut the school lunch program or we have a nation of obese children because Republicans subsidize farmers. Which is it?
