Alec Baldwin Foolishly Claims Larry Craig Voted to ‘Censor’ Barney Frank
By Noel Sheppard | September 1, 2007 | 9:00 PM EDT

If you needed any more evidence as to how little actor Alec Baldwin actually knows about politics, it was provided Saturday evening in the second sentence of his article at the Huffington Post (emphasis added):

"Even though [then Rep. Larry] Craig voted to censor Barney Frank for Frank's tryst with a male prostitute."

Apparently one of the movie roles that Alec Baldwin won't be playing in the future is that of Sherlock Holmes.

Please take a seat, and secure all fluids. You’ve been warned (emphasis mine throughout):

All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send in more troops. If you don't think there is a link between the weather and Iraq, you are wrong.

Checking that link about now? Don’t believe me? Well, The Shadow was just getting warmed up:
