Not Serious

Alec Baldwin is an actor. For some reason, we think that people who appear in movies are entitled to our attention. Go figure.

If one aspires to be taken seriously, one ought not say things like this:
Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions.
Some might think that "terrorizing our enemies" is a good thing. Apparently not. More HERE.

It is truly an oddity that it seems to be taken as a matter of course that actors should be listened to on anything.

After all, they make their living in a profession where their job is to pretend they are somebody other than themselves. That doesn't qualify them as an expert on anything, other than deceiving people as to their true identity on a paying basis.
