Alec Baldwin for Senator: We Predict His Campaign Promises

In a recent Playboy interview, Alec Baldwin dropped some juicy tidbits. A.) He hates lawyers, which we get. B.) He almost killed himself after the whole voicemail debacle, which we are very glad he did not. C.) He is thinking about running for public office, which would be frickin' awesome. Whether it's for Governor of New York or Senator from Connecticut, we would totally vote for him, regardless of where we actually live. And if he's not on the ballot, we would write him in. In fact, we've already dug up some of his campaign promises, and they all sound pretty good to us.

The Voicemail Decency Act
In addition to making the broadcasting of private voice mail messages a federal crime, this act would make mandatory new cell phone technology that would only allow voicemail messages to be heard by their intended recipient. It would also fund research into technology that would prevent people from leaving overly vindictive messages, using such markers as excessive shouting and the use of danger words like "pig" and "ungrateful."

Declare TMZ a Terrorist Organization
For crimes against celebrities, harassment, filming without a permit and just being nosy little bitches.

The Award-Winning Custody Statute
In the event of a divorce between two actors, the custody of the child will be determined by the number of acting awards each parent has won. In the case of a tie, victory will go to the one with the most Emmys.

The Baldwin Medal of Honor
A council composed of himself, Stephen Baldwin, Billy Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin and Adam Baldwin (not related, but a heckuva guy) will convene once a year in the top of the Washington monument to decide which Americans best exemplify the spiritual and moral superiority of the Baldwin name. Five will be chosen to receive medals each year, and the medals will be hand-delivered to their homes by the Baldwins themselves. The recipient will then have to invite that Baldwin in for dinner.

Meat is Murder
Until now, it's just been a slogan, but under Alec Baldwin's reign, meat will actually be murder, a felony punishable by imprisonment. However, bacon lobbyists will later get bacon reduced to a misdemeanor.

Declare the Philippines Off-Limits
Hey, if he's not allowed to go there (for making a "Filipino mail-order-bride" joke on Letterman) then nobody else can, either.

Well,he certainly can't do any worse than that moosehunting senator from Alaska(I've forgotten her name,but she wasn't that important anyway).

She was the governor of Alaska, not a senator.

These should have been based on his more famous roles. Such as:

Can I request Adam Baldwin deliver my Baldwin Medal of Honor?

Though on second thought, I won't win one because I'll be in prison for Meat Murder

If that nut-job Al Franken can weasel his way into the Senate, Alec should be a shoe-in.

I love Adam Baldwin. It's just a shame that the rest of the world hasn't come to appreciate how good he is.

I am a Filipino and a huge Alec Baldwin fan. It would be sad if he would declare the Philippines as off-limits but it would be freakin' awesome at the same time.

I think Alec is awesome. I would love for him to personally deliver the BMH (Baldwin Medal of Honor) to my house as long as it is made of bacon. Could I get a perscription for medical meat? And I am so onboard with the write-in campaign. I'm going to start with my hometown city council seat.

Cracar, why is Al Franken a "nut-job" where do you get such insight from (Fox news)?

Just a little nitpick, it's one l and two p's in "Philippines". I love Alec Baldwin and think he's witty and clever.

Actually, it's three p's in "Philippines."

And funnily enough, there are four p's in "Actually, it's three p's in Philippines".
