Massapequa native Alec Baldwin says he may one day run for political office, though he doesn't say where.

In an interview scheduled to air Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes," the actor says that, now that he's 50, "There's other things I want to do."

Freep this poll.

Ya’ mean he’s grown tired of putting down America at every opportunity?

[2banana]

Isn’t he supposed to be in France?

France?

Great Gumper! “Will Senator Franken yield for a question?” “Yes Senator Baldwin” “How lame are we?”

[freerepublic_or_die]

I really trust this guy. He promised to move overseas If Bush got re-elected.

[whitedog57]

His acting career consisted of “Hunt for Red October” and “Beetlejuice.” Other than that, most of his gigs were lousy movies or bit parts.

He is a perfect lib. “Only the government knows how to do things!” Personal liberties are for the elite only. Everyone else stand in line and be grateful that we don’t start Gulags!

[Brilliant]

These days, he could probably get elected, too.

[freerepublic_or_die]

LOL. You've got those speech impediments down perfectly.

[denydenydeny]

What a wonderful human being.

[Disturbin]

And Outside Providence — that was funnier than Red October but not as good, obviously.

[LiteKeeper]

The only thing he is qualified for is Dog Catcher, and he would need a waiver for that!

[kinghorse]

I hope he gets third prize.

[Abathar]

I would still vote for this Baldwin long before that *&^%#$@ :

[frankiep]

he is hilarious in ‘30 Rock’ though

[kinghorse]

First prize being a Cadillac Eldorado and second prize being a set of steak knives.

Could only wish for that. I got to meet him and some of the other Firefly crowd a dragoncon sometime back. All of them seemed like really good people and appreciated the big crowd that would line up for their stuff. I also esp. got to talk to Ron Glass at one. I loved Barney Miller a lot too.

[Abathar]

That sounds great, you’re lucky. I have heard Adam is very quiet and soft spoken, the usual characters he plays is completely different than his true nature.

[wally_bert]

He was very much that when I met him. A class act, I can say the same for the rest of the Firefly cast. It took netflix to make me watch it. I never saw it during the network run.

My wife nexflixed it and I was passing through the living room and saw the two plastic dinosaurs voiced by Wash. That got me watching and seeing that Ron Glass was on the show pretty much made me a browncoat.

Dragoncon is something else and is a sensory overload. You won't be bored, there is always something or someone around. I have gotten to meet a lot of my favorites from the shows I loved as a kid.

The poll :

What should Alec Baldwin run for?

President
Governor of New York
Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor
Massapequa School Board President
President of the Baldwin Brothers Fan Club
Nothing, he's fine where he is

What - no father/husband of the year??

One of my good friends saw that festering idiot on Hudson St. by the White Horse tavern in NYC. He was yelling at a meter maid who had just issued him a ticket. My buddy yelled across the street when was he was moving to France and bubble head Barrwin hit the slicer like 10lbs of baloney in a 5lb bag. The guy is lunch meat. He can dish it out, but he can't take it, not one bit.

[GATOR NAVY]

The poll missed “President of F.A.G.” as one of the options.

[Vaquero]

French Dog Catcher.....and changer of oui oui pads.

[agere_contra]

Absolutely. I would vote Baldwin/Glau in 2012!     If I was American
