John Hates Chelsea/Arianna Hearts Alec

And I heart her for letting crazy yet surprisingly lucid celebrities blog! In this post from Saturday, offered up by my friend Evie and titled "John McCain Is Not George Bush, Sarah Palin Is," actor Alec Baldwin reveals why he is fearful of the Republican ticket. This passage is particularly frightening, because people seem to be overlooking the fact that it is very possible:
"John McCain is, statistically, more likely to die or suffer some catastrophic illness during his first term than any other man that has sought the office. Who would succeed him? George Bush would succeed him. Someone with no record. No experience. Only question marks."
Also love that he concludes with a random postscript apologizing for some shit-talking about Scrubs and My Name is Earl. Who knows?

I'd also urge people to remember this: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." John McCain may also be the only presidential candidate who's ever been classless enough to publicly call an opponent's daughter "ugly." Not only is attacking a teen girl about her looks the easiest and meanest insult, McCain wasn't even professional enough to use a euphemism. Steven Leser reminds us here.
