Alec Baldwin
Liberal Hall of Shame
"I never saw a clearer choice in my life," Baldwin said, describing the Bush administration as being "good at only two things: the economy — and by that I mean stimulating the Dow, stimulating corporate profits and the Dow — and waging war.

"To me, the Republican Party is the real great tragedy of the last 25 years because there are lot of good and decent people and a lot of good political points [that have] come from the Republican Party in the post-war period, but it has been hijacked by these fundamentalist wackos," Baldwin said.
"There are a lot of decent Republicans out there who feel they have to profess this loyalty to these people," Baldwin added after the applause faded.
Baldwin also took aim at the Bush administration's policies, telling CNSNews.com before the panel discussion began that the administration is "really only good at two things, which is manipulating corporate profits and waging war, and they basically botched both of those things."

Actor Says
Fellow best supporting Oscar nominee Alec Baldwin (news), recognised for his role in "The Cooler," appeared to agree with Robbins, saying the only reason the notorious Super Bowl incident should have been censored was because the act was dull.
"What happened at the Super Bowl, I thought, should have been censored because it wasn't very interesting," said the actor who has in the past also drawn fire for his political views.

"Bush
wasn't elected, he was selected— selected by five judges up in Washington
who voted along party lines," Baldwin said. "I never made that statement, but you can tell Gov. Bush to rest assured that I'm not going to leave the country because we have to get him out of office and we have to get his brother out of office in 2004. We're not resting until we get that done."
