Alec Baldwin's NYC curveball

U.S. News- Washington Whispers ^ | 12/13/2002 | Paul Bedard

[Pokey78]

Actor and liberal activist Alec Baldwin has an idea that's either gonna guarantee him that New York House or Senate seat he covets or make him a permanent fill-in on Hollywood Squares: Put the new Yankee stadium on ground zero as a memorial to 9/11 victims. "It's the most interesting thing I have heard," he says. Baldwin and New York PR man Phil Nourie hatched the idea. Baldwin calls it "a mix of the commemorative and the practical." He says every game could begin with a moment of silence and that survivors and members of the NYPD and the FDNY could get discounted tickets. Baldwin's goal is to stir the pot just as a new round of ground zero proposals is due. Other ideas, he says, don't mix commemorating 9/11 with boosting Manhattan's economy. Early reviews are bad. The Bronx Bombers tell Whispers that they don't want to move to the World Trade Center. Baldwin expected that but says: "We have an eye on tomorrow . . . it's the best thing for the city."

Alec Baldwin is a P.O.S.

Just let him keep talking. The more he talks the more he sounds like a jackass.

Doesn't this fool ever go away?

And where is the BARF alert?

[Paul Atreides]

What an idiot! That ought to be fun, having a ball game on the site where thousands of people lost their lives.

[CaptRon]

Talk about dancing on your grave...

[Bob]

And where is the BARF alert?

Since the name Alec Baldwin is in the title, a Barf Alert would be redundant.

[Paul Atreides]

Anyone who would vote for Alec Baldwin would be getting exactly what he deserves. The trouble is, if he won, good innocent people would have to suffer.

[Mark]

Maybe if he showed up at the 1st game and got a HUGE BOOOOOOOO!--it would show how well he is liked.

[mombonn]

Absolutely the dumbest suggestion ever, not to mention totally offensive.

BTW, I wouldn't recognize alec baldwin if he sat down nezt to me.

[AHAB]

As a red sox fan i like the idea. Maybe they can start a curse of there own. LOL

[mc5cents]

And to think that that P.O.S. played Tom Clancy's great Jack Ryan once in Hunt For Red October... Makes me sick.

[nutmeg]

What an idiot! That ought to be fun, having a ball game on the site where thousands of people lost their lives.

I agree. What a totally repulsive idea.

[AHAB]

Didnt he promise to leave the country?

[joesnuffy]

Im glad he said this it proves again what a brain dead Follywood phagocyte is good for...
Ab-so-lutley Nothing...Say it again y'all...

[nutmeg]

Baldwin/Barf Alert ping!

[nutmeg]

Yeah, shouldn't he be shooting his mouth off in FRANCE right about now???

[JimVT]

Put the new Yankee stadium on ground zero as a memorial to 9/11 victims. "It's the most interesting thing I have heard," he says.

If only this A-hole was at at ground zero on 9/11!

[Man from Oz]

Dipstick

[MotleyGirl70]

I know that is a great movie and hard pill to swallow knowing P.O.S. played Jack Ryan. I'm surprised Tom didn't have any say in who would play Jack. Tom is a republican I know that.

[Norman Arbuthnot]

Yeah, shouldn't he be shooting his mouth off in FRANCE right about now???

Yeah, or maybe in Iraq with Sean Penn.

[tenthirteen]

Why don't we just stick BALDWIN at ground zero in a little league uniform and bat him around? Think of all the money we could raise for FR at about 500 bucks a swing!

[cardinal4]

"We have an eye on tomorrow . . . it's the best thing for the city."

Arent the Baldwins from Florida?

[Yehuda]

Embalm Baldwin dressed and madeup as a victim of 9/11 and put him in a glass case.

[MadIvan]

There was talk about putting an opera house on the site at one point - that can be done tastefully. And it wouldn't be the first time opera singers performed there:

Renée Fleming Sings "Amazing Grace" At Ground Zero, 2001

Regards, Ivan

[hellinahandcart]

it's the best thing for the city

And just who is he to decide that? Jesus help us, another carpetbagging know-it-all wants to be senator...

[NYC GOP Chick]

This is just too gross for words! Not to mention just how poorly it would fit in the neighborhood.

[Trajan88]

2 words: "Phalix Baldweenie".

[maxwellp]

I wouldn't recognize Alex Baldwin either if he sat down next to me. I thought I read, within the last couple of days, that he was in Iraq, visiting children in hospitals.

[BlessedBeGod]

You S.O.B.

(Alec, not you, Pokey.)

[KLT]

Can we send Alec Baldwin to YEMEN? That would be a great idea!

[KLT]

[Exit148]

Is there a way to send this thead to this self-absorbed lightweight?

[stanz]

Aside from the lunacy of a ballpark on hallowed ground, where in the hell does he think people are going to park in lower Manhattan? The streets are so narrow even people have trouble moving. What a freakin' idiot.

[Clemenza]

Arent the Baldwins from Florida?

No, from Lawn Guyland, like Clemenza. Thankfully, the most embarassing celebrity to come out of my hometown was Tony Danza, who can't hold a candle to the Baldwins in the idiocy department (for those who are interested in such things, the Baldwins hail from Massepequa).
