Could Alec Baldwin be Ohio’s next governor?
Could Ohio handle a Gov. Jack Donaghy?
Actor Alec Baldwin has been courted at least a little bit to run for governor of Ohio, he tells Playboy Magazine in the July/August issue.
See, some people do read the skin mag for the articles.
Playboy asked about the likelihood he’ll run for office.
The hotheaded bad boy said the following:
“I’ll put it this way. The desire is there; that’s one component. The other component is opportunity. A law firm in a liberal Democratic bastion in Ohio state politics sent me a binder with a cover letter that read, ‘Mr. Baldwin, here’s who we represent, the kinds of cases we handle, our credentials in Ohio state politics. We want you to move to Ohio and run for governor. We will launch your career.’”
It would be sort of cool to have a governor willing to call the state representatives rude, thoughtless little pigs. (Hear audio below of Baldwin yelling at his kid.)
But hold the phone “30 Rock” fans (Baldwin plays Jack Donaghy on that show).
When asked if he could live in Ohio, Baldwin brings up New Jersey and Connecticut and starts talking about senators and congressmen.
“I’d love to run against Joe Lieberman. I have no use for him. But it’s all fantasy. I’m a carry-me-out-in-a-box New Yorker,” he tells Playboy.
