Kelsey Grammer wants to run for office

Heads up Alec Baldwin, there’s another actor with his eye on a political career.

The New York Post reported Sunday that Kelsey Grammer intends to run for office in the future, perhaps in New York where he now resides.

A rare conservative in Hollywood, Grammer told the paper that being an actor and a politician both require a "narcissistic personality” and “a resilient ego.”

Money doesn’t hurt either. The Post pointed out that the actor, who will play a fictional Chicago mayor on a drama called “Boss” this fall, is worth almost $100 million.

What might hurt? Four marriages and his regular appearances on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 1.

Said Grammer, “I look at my political aspirations as that last piece of my life -- where I hope to do something good for people and pay back a little."

You’d have to run away fast from all of the bones that would fall out if you opened his closet.

David Hyde Pierce is an absolute acting genius. Most episodes make me laugh out loud. Kelsey grammar is very good as well. But Pierce could also make me cry, in some of those scenes he did in the seasons where he was pining in love with Daphne.

That has to be the best cast acting ensemble with the best writers on tv. Nothing else comes close. They Expected their audience to be well read and intelligent, and what other sitcom ever did? I could watch it every day. Some of the episodes are like short Moliere plays, perfect little comedies of error.

Not sure I want President Frasier but I thank him for entertaining me all these years.

Even our biggest and best universities don’t expect that anymore.

Ex-wives claim all sorts of crazy things.

Anyone who judges any person based on what their ex-wife says is not even minimally qualified to vote.

Yep.
She is/was an airline stewardess. English.
Ended up preggers. Lost baby. They got married after a messy divorce.
Then Grammer was trying to get the two kids he had with previous wife away from her.
