Unintended consequences

While taking a quiz about political affiliations of Hollywood stars (22% thought Patricia Heaton was a Democrat?) I discovered an interesting tidbit:

In a June interview with Fox News, [Stephen Baldwin] threatened to leave the country if Obama is elected president.

Get out the vote, you bastards! It’s the opportunity of a lifetime!

Now that I am cleaning coffee of my computer screen from laughing so hard, I wonder if he would consider taking his brothers with him?

I can imagine Stephen at Baldwin family get-togethers:
“I’m smart! Not like everybody says… like dumb… I’m smart and I want respect! ...”

Is it sad that he looks an awful lot like my best friend?  With the freakin’ *rainbow* fish, yet.  I don’t know if my friend would wear the fish symbol, but he likes his gay pride rainbow accessories.

Ah but where would he move to, that’s the question…

So long, farewell, goodbyyyye!

Comment #5: Samantha Vimes  on  09/16  at  06:40 AM

Well, thank you for giving us another reason to put Obama in office.

Come on, let’s get to it!

Comment #6: StarStorm  on  09/16  at  07:03 AM

Well, if nothing else we now have our answer why Tom Hanks gets all those great roles and Stephen Baldwin gets .... Biodome.  It’s Hollywood Liberal Bias!

Well, not to Canada, obviously.  After all, they’ve already bombed the Baldwins in at least one movie.

The irony of your statement is that in 2004, Alec Baldwin threatened to leave America if Bush got re-elected.

Bet those are some fun Thanksgivings at the Baldwin dinner table.

Comment #9: DTG in STL  on  09/16  at  09:03 AM

Did he really say that?  Because 8 years ago, his brother Alec was accused of having said something similar about leaving the country if Bush won . . .

Alec doesn’t hang with Stephen much.  Stephen’s approach to drug addiction was to go all super-Christian.  Alec, being a decent brother, doesn’t slam him in interviews.

Comment #11: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  09/16  at  09:26 AM

rea, he did; I’ve seen the clip.  He was being a little facetious—not about hating Obama, but the “leave the country” part was deliberately playing on what his brother supposedly said about Bush in 2004.

I’ll always remember a comedian (on one of those VH1 shows, I think) referring to Stephen as “the poor man’s Daniel Baldwin, and the homeless man’s Alec Baldwin.”

Comment #12: Nicole  on  09/16  at  09:42 AM

It’s probably clear from my last comment, but just to clarify, Stephen Baldwin was not serious about his promise to leave the country.  (Unfortunately.)  He’s a wingnut but that particular line was a joke.

I have heard other Repubs in my neighborhood express that sentiment seriously, though.  Kind of ironic that they’re mostly racists eating up the Obama = Scary Foreign Other meme, and yet they think they could handle living in a whole other country surrounded by not!Americans.

Comment #13: Nicole  on  09/16  at  09:51 AM

Let’s see.  He’d have to find a country more conservative than the US.  I wonder if Iran would like their own Baldwin brother?

I have a cheap fedora too, but I only pull it out for Halloween.

Judging by the rest of his visible ensemble . . . .

He saves his bile for phone interactions with his daughter.

Comment #16: Ms Kate  on  09/16  at  10:39 AM

Where would teh wingnuts go - Russia?

Comment #17: Ms Kate  on  09/16  at  10:40 AM

30% of people thought Ben Stein was a Democrat!!!

Comment #18: Dave  on  09/16  at  11:02 AM

Well…yeah…but that phone call wasn’t supposed to be for public disclosure.  I don’t think he saves that bile only for Ireland.  There’s a reason (and a good one) that Kim Basinger divorced him and got sole custody of her. 

I still like Daniel as Beau in Homicide: Life on the Streets and tend to forgive the rest of his shitty career for that role alone. 

Has Billy done anything in recent memory?  I remember Sliver with Sharon Stone, and then he married Chyna Phillips, and then…  Did he go all hyper-Christian too?

Comment #19: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  09/16  at  11:07 AM

Ah but where would he move to, that’s the question…

Exactly… I imagine he likes security & creature comforts as much as most first-worlders do, and he’s not going to find a country with both that’s not considerably more liberal than the US.  Who’d've thought that America would end up being a sort of last-stand location for those who favor a highly stratified & rigid society?

Comment #20: latts  on  09/16  at  11:21 AM

South America. From the “Confederados” at the end of the U.S. Civil War to the Nazis after WWII, the southern cone has always welcomed right wing bastards. Maybe thy can all live on Bush’s rumored ranch in Paraguay.

Comment #21: Sam  on  09/16  at  11:22 AM

Can Barack make that a campaign pledge? Who else will agree to voluntary deportation?

There are plenty of places he can go though. The Caribbean, Russia, maybe Australia especially Queensland, Dubai, and any gated community in the developing world with its own mercenary security.

But Sam, those people are brown and speak Mexican!

Comment #23: Ms Kate  on  09/16  at  11:32 AM

I can’t believe how many people that took the quiz thought Ted Nugent was a democrat!

Comment #24: Slackajawea  on  09/16  at  11:35 AM

He did. I read a Vanity Fair article about Michele Phillips (Chynna’s mother) and she said that Stephen Baldwin “saved” Chyna, and now everytime Michele visits her grandkids Chyna’s always trying to witness to her and baptize her in the bathtub. Talk about insufferable!

Comment #25: flea  on  09/16  at  02:24 PM

I don’t get it. Every gay Christian I know has a rainbow fish or knows someone with one. Is That Other Baldwin all that clueless?

Comment #26: NancyP  on  09/16  at  02:55 PM

He’s doubtless reprsiing his role from the movie Threesome

Comment #27: rea  on  09/16  at  03:10 PM

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish!

Comment #28: elena  on  09/16  at  04:10 PM

no no no, you guys can keep him.
really, hasn’t the US done enough to the rest of the world?

Comment #29: stephanie  on  09/16  at  04:20 PM

As people are noting, the “librul Hollywood” meme is so popular that a lot of people though Robert Duvall, Ben Expelled, and the Nuge are Democrats.  That’s how the Poor Conservatives Who Can’t Get Media Exposure myth thrives.
