This just cracked me up. I love Alec Baldwin as an actor. I've heard rumblings for a long time about him going into politics. Obviously he wouldn't be the first actor to do it. I do think he's right to call Cafferty out and he did it very well.

Actually, this piece shows Baldwin is temperamentally unsuited to politics, and that that tape of him berating his young daughter might have indeed been the true measure of the man.
