Alec Baldwin slams CNN's Jack Cafferty

Politico ^ | July 9, 2009 | Michael Calderone

[joinedafterattack]

Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock star, HuffPost blogger and rumored Senate candidate, took a swipe at Jack Cafferty over comments he made yesterday on CNN.

In talking about actors running for office, Cafferty described Baldwin's credentials as "questionable," but noted that Al Franken is Harvard-educated. That prompted Baldwin to ask: "So Franken fits the mold for Cafferty because he went to Harvard?

I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don't tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won't say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a "Man of the People" on a major cable news network.

Rat Fight!!!

[wardaddy]

I detest Cafferty more than Baldwin

[Lou Budvis]

WOW-Got to go with the former Mr. Bassinger on this one. Cafferty is a total clown.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Don’t fret....they’ll have make-up sex.

[GeronL]

Its a very close contest... but by a rate whisker Baldwin

[TCats]

Two detestable idiots in a fight. Looks like a win-win.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

You know...GOOD for Alec Baldwin .... i don't like his politics or his life style, but i hate Cafferty even more...

[GeronL]

rat whisker

[counterpunch]

Hopefully these two will take each other out.

[paulycy]

They deserve each other. And they can both go away.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...and rumored Senate candidate...”

Lord, Hear Our Prayer! *SPIT*

[Wolfie]

Sure, Jack, all of those Ivy League political weasels have been a real God-send for this country.

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

Don’t fret....they’ll have make-up sex.

...Alec will show Cafferty what he calls "the little Canteen Boy"

[Brilliant]

Cafferty’s remarks about Harvard really is completely insane. Besides which if I’d known that Franken went to Harvard, I would have had an even lower image of him than I do.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I hate Baldwin, but he cleaned Cafferty’s clock, hehe!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“Don’t fret....they’ll have make-up sex.”

ROFLMAO!

[Clara Lou]

Heh heh! Let them wale away at each other. Last one standing is still a loser.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“I detest Cafferty more than Baldwin”

Scum is scum is scum is scum.

[aShepard]

................., you don’t tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office..................

Of couse not!

All these buffoons in Washington love to be in the kleig lights. A career in faking emotions and playing transparent humans is the ultimate qualifier for being a politician! Idiots all!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I believe that Cafferty was drunk at the time. Nice guy isn’t he?

[Pharmer]

Cafferty is lower than Olbermann. I had to sit and watch him in my doctors office when I was getting an allergy shot. I don’t know which was worse. Won’t forget my iPod next time that for sure.

[ElPatriota]

Oh, I especially destest this lefty a**

[RichInOC]

Okay, this is part of why I say Baldwin would be a step up from Franken. Not so much in their politics, just that Baldwin’s going to be better entertainment value. And unlike Al, he’s capable of being genuinely funny.

[Chode]

cafferty better watch out... after all, this mutt is tough enough to beat up Kim Basenger

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You Are Worfress Arec Barwin

.......... I had to sit and watch him in my doctors office when I was getting an allergy shot..............

At least you weren't watching Baldwin as you had your colonospy!

[Swede Girl]

Two morons.

[Owl_Eagle]

I detest Cafferty more than Baldwin

But it's close, isn't it?

Two truly awful people.

[JillValentine]

Al Franken went to Harvard?

Guess they have affirmative action for white people, too.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

One thing that keeps me going...if you’ve read ‘State of Fear’ by Michael Crichton, you can’t of helped to imagine Alec Baldwin as the washed up movie actor who is eaten alive by the natives, LOL!

I can’t be the ONLY one that thought that the character was WRITTEN for him by Crichton for later use as a screen play!

[george76]

a fan of that comment.

[americanophile]

Alec Baldwin is mean.

[BallyBill]

Baldwin, Cafferty and Franken? Baldwin is the only one who may have a small amount of sanity. He did admit the press is biased once, so I give him that.

[GOPJ]

I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don't tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won't say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a "Man of the People" on a major cable news network.

Baldwin's not a wuss - sometimes I wish he was on our side.

[The_Sword_of_Groo]

I bet he’s ron-ry too....

[Covenantor]

LOL! One thing that keeps me going...if you’ve read ‘State of Fear’ by Michael Crichton, you can’t of helped to imagine Alec Baldwin as the washed up movie actor who is eaten alive by the natives, LOL!

Ted Danson came to my mind as the idiot 'green activist' actor.

[DGHoodini]

(snicker)

...Hey Cafferty! Are you gonna let that aging drunken Hollywood cootie boy, get away with punking you?

[devolve]

.

Alec Baldwin is learning that democrats are often vicious liberals like convicted hit-&-run cowardly criminal Jack Cafferty

Alec needs to talk more with his brother Steven Baldwin

Alec Baldwin actually is entertaining and informative when he is on Fox Movie Channel discussing films

Al Franken is a confessed hardcore druggie (just as Barack Hussein Obama Junior addmitted he was a cokehead) in his Saturday Night Live days and likely he still is today -

I gotta go with Alec Baldwin on this one

He is learning the hard way

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Nice shot by Baldwin.

[twister881]

[FTJM]

I like Baldwin as an actor but he’s an raging idiot when it comes to politics. Great comeback though...

[Vendome]

That’s goimg to leave a mark and some soreness.

Doesn’t CNN hire a lot of these guys that pull crap like this and get off with a slap on the wrist?

Rick Sanchez left the scene after striking a pedestrian, Jeffrey Smuzinick, with his car on a residential street near Dolphin Stadium. Smuzinick was paralyzed and eventually died from his injuries in 1995.

[Vendome]

Waterboy?

[clintonh8r]

Me too...at least I can tolerate Baldwin as an actor. Cafferty sucks at his chosen profession as well as at being a member (probationary) of the human race.

[Alas Babylon!]

No, no, no! It was Martin Sheen. In fact, Dr Crichton stated the has-been bragged about playing the President of the United States in a popular television show.... Can you say “West Wing”?

[Minn]

I would like to make a deal with Cafferty. Jack, you don't tell people that a career in the performing arts disqualifies them from seeking elected office, and I won't say publicly that your being convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which you struck a cyclist and then ran two red lights while you were pursued by the police and were subsequently ordered to serve 70 hours of community service back in May of 2003 disqualifies you from posing as a "Man of the People" on a major cable news network.

Is this true? So, between Cafferty and Sanchez, CNN employs two hit and run artists; one that killed someone? That's surely something Fox will never beat them at.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Ummmm....Never saw the movie....

[pistolpetestoys]

I love it when liberals eat their own.
