Actor Alec Baldwin Calls Texas Governor "Lap Dog"
LAST UPDATE: 10/8/2003 6:28:00 AM

AUSTIN (AP) - Actor Alec Baldwin was in town Tuesday night for a fund-raiser for House Democrats and he came bearing a gift: a box of dog biscuits for Republican Gov. Rick Perry.

"I wanted to give this to Tom DeLay's lap dog, Rick Perry," Baldwin said. "I thought maybe he had worked up a big appetite up there on the Capitol so Governor Perry, AKA Tom DeLay's lap dog in the Texas state Legislature, this box of dog biscuits is for you and I hope you enjoy it while you're toiling away at a redistricting plan."

Republicans have been working to draw a new redistricting plan to increase their strength in Texas' congressional delegation, now ruled 17-15 by Democrats. DeLay, the U.S. House majority leader from Sugar Land, has been one of the strongest advocates for redrawing the lines.

Democrats have been opposed to the move and a few of them joined Baldwin as he launched into a tirade about redistricting, the California recall and Republican gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Republican Party leadership and the Bush administration, of which he said half of its members were either stupid or sociopathic.

11. can't we leave out

the insults that are degrading to women. *big sigh*

Isn't lapdog enough? Must we continue to feed the misogyny that ultimately lets people like Arnold get elected?

[neuvocat]

13. "lap dog" and "bitch" :

both are dogs.

[lovedems]

5. Now with the circus of the California recall over maybe the Texas

redistricting can make more news. What a great jesture by AB. It is that kind of slam that makes the news and keeps the story alive.

7. Republican reply out-dated...

From the linked story: "Perry spokesman Gene Acuna shot back: 'Mr. Baldwin's political views against President Bush and Republicans in general are well known and documented. I have no doubt that Texans will give the comments made by the star of Beetlejuice all of the attention they are due.'"

He needs to get with the program. Due to recent developments, two popular Republican talking points have become seriously obsolete:

1) Actors should shut up about politics. (Yeah, this one's been obsolete since Ronny--memory loss is contagious, apparently.)

2) The Republican party is the party of family values, decency, morals, decorum, dignity, etc.

10. I guess Gene Acuna hasn't seen a movie in 15 years...

AB has been in several FAMILY films (like Thomas & the Magic Railroad) since 1988. But I guess Acuna's sense of the world is a little out of date...

15. Was he in

Beetlejuice? Which part was he?

[shanti]

17. yes, he was

12. Texas Governor Rick Perry Is Not A Lap Dog

Texas Governor Rick Perry is not a lap dog. Rick Perry is a highly paid, supposedly prestigious individual who works as an errand boy for Tom De Lay, Karl Rove, and George Walker Bush.

I hope Texas can get a leader, not an errand boy, in the next Texas Gubernatorial election.

:thumbsdown:

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Right on, Alec Baldwin!

Rick Perry is Delay's bitch and Bush's whore. Guys can be both of those, ya know.

[shanti]

16. go alec!

you tell 'em! :thumbsup:
