Kelsey Grammer wants to run for office
Politico ^ | 08/01/2011 | Karin Tanabe

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."

Kelsey Grammer’s exwife claims he is a cross dresser. I don’t think he wins anywhere.

She can claim anything she wants. Proving it is something else.

Nice over-sized implants. They’re halfway to her waist.

Why would he want to do that?

Here’s the original article/interview from the NY Post:

I know KGrammer has been a big supporter of Ilario Pantano, who ran for Congress in NC last year, and of a small conservative graduate school in Washington, DC.

Kelsey could do a Clint Eastwood-type stint as mayor of a resort town, but he's probably too compromised to have any hope of election in real politics.

If Kelsey were Hollywood's first choice to play politicians, as Fred Thompson seems to be, would he feel the need to play one in real life?

Ummmm, he had a very traumatic childhood and young adulthood and suffered from depression. In recent years, he’s had a hard time staying married to the same person.

He has not managed things well.

Sorry but the days when anyone famous outside of politics can pick up the banner and run for national office is pretty much passed. Absolutely nothing, not one thing, is off limits in the internet everyone is a reporter with a video cam era.

Seems to me there was one actor/celeb who did pretty darn good in office.

Oh, what was his name?

You guys aren’t very picky. Size is your only criteria.

I don’t know if she’s telling the truth about him being a cross-dresser or not, but it is a fact that his peronal life has a long history of crazy, messy, definitely not conservative stuff. Marriages and girlfriends including strippers and playboy bunnies, an out of wedlock child or maybe two, a couple of sex tapes, drug and alcohol abuse, a heart attack. Maybe he and Donald Trump could run on a ticket together?

I don’t think he is serious. If he runs it will be as a joke.
