Republicans Give Alec Baldwin One-way Greyhound ticket to Montreal

Republicans Give Alec Baldwin One-way Greyhound ticket to Montreal

The Republican Party of Florida had a gift for actor Alec Baldwin, who was the featured speaker Saturday night at the Florida Democratic Party's state conference at Walt Disney World: A one-way Greyhound ticket to Montreal!

The reason, said Florida GOP chairman Al Cardenas, was because Baldwin reportedly promised to leave the country if President Bush was elected president.

The state GOP paid $70 for the ticket, which was printed in Baldwin's name. GOP staffers also passed out copies of the ticket that said "Well, here in Disney World, dreams can come true!" The fliers were addressed, "Alec, courtesy of your good friends at the Republican Party of Florida."

Baldwin, for his part, had a gift for Republican Gov. Jeb Bush: a stuffed toy with a picture of Bush covering the face which Baldwin called a "Jebbie" award. Baldwin said Bush's efforts as an actor pretending to have the interests of Floridians at heart "would make Lawrence Olivier genuflect in admiration."

Baldwin said he understood that the governor and Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan didn't like his acting.

"I hope you know that hurt my feelings," Baldwin said. "I know an actor when I see one and this governor is a great actor."

You can meet a nice class of people on a Greyhound or at the bus station. He could find someone to whom his political opinions make sense. Like that guy who hangs around the bus station with the shopping cart full of aluminum cans…

If he declines the Montreal ticket, there's always the slow raft to Cuba. Actually, he should be quite happy in Cuba.

Re: "I hope you know that hurt my feelings," Baldwin said. "I know an actor when I see one and this governor is a great actor."

And the winner for "best actor in a politic role" in the "lip-biting I-feel-your-pain for-the-children" dark-comedy category goes to... William Jefferson Clinton.

Why would we send this POS to our friends in Canada, a country where there is at least some hope left??

France is another matter.

Does the phrase "Sore-Loserman" ring a bell?
