My word of advice to you would be to up your production of Jack Donaghy greeting cards by 4000% because you’re going to have to keep up with quite the demand if Alec Baldwin decides he’s leaving acting completely and running for office. In today’s interview with Eliot Spitzer on CNN, Baldwin said that he’s “very very interested” in becoming a political figure, but acknowledges leaving Tina Fey‘s bump and grind sessions that come between the takes of her vomiting into a toilet in a “Philadelphia” hotel room would be the hardest thing he’d ever have to do.
More specifically on the matter, Baldwin said “The answer is: Yes, it’s something that I’m very very interested in. People would say to me all the time, ‘Why would you want to do that?’ And sometimes I don’t want to do it because to leave what I’m doing now would be extremely painful.” He continued — “I have sometimes thought I could move to New Jersey or Connecticut and run. I’d love to run against Joe Lieberman. I have no use for him. But it’s all fantasy.”
Oh man, we’re too late. He’s already doing that political “I’m speaking, but what exactly am I saying BWUAHAHA!” thing. But his contract on 30 Rock will expire in 2012, which thankfully means we have tons of time to turn him into a felon and connect him to Columbia University’s drug ring and transform Lieberman into someone even more compelling and addicting than Meat Loaf.
