NYC Is A Strange Place

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork)Actor Alec Baldwin has closed the door on a possible run for mayor of New York City in 2013.

During his weekly WNYC podcast, the television star said “I’ve lost my appetite” when asked about a run for office by his guest, movie director Stephen Daldry.

Daldry asked Baldwin if he was going to have a political career, to which the actor responded “I doubt it now. The older I get, the more I feel that all of it has changed.”

“The people that are running for mayor – I know this is terrible – I look at them and I don’t see myself in that crowd. They’re like a guy on a date that you can tell he just can’t wait to get his hand up your blouse before even the lights go out in the theater. They’re all just so horny for it. Horny for their own ascension,” Baldwin said.

Baldwin has long harbored political ambitions. In 1998 he appeared on CBS 2’s Sunday political talk show, and in 2000 he campaigned with Hillary Clinton for the U.S. Senate.

Rumors started circulating that Baldwin would run in the 2013 election when Democrat Anthony Weiner stepped down from his congressional post because of a sexting scandal. It had been assumed that Weiner would represent the Democratic Party in the next Mayoral election.

Baldwin has also apparently changed his tune on plans to quit “30 Rock” after this season, saying he’s got a good job and is having fun.

“Give this up for what? I give up money and fame and position and success, I give up this wonderful life I have now in exchange for the chance to really change things. Yeah, I’m not quite sure you can any more,” Baldwin said.

Are you surprised Baldwin isn’t running?  Who do you think will run in 2013? Share your thoughts below…

    Hey! All of you little pigs need to quit hating on me. I’m just a guy trying to make a living here and make the world a better place. Why all the hate?

    • Kim

      Cause your a D!CK!

  • Johnny Dangerously

    I’m not sure what the rub is here. Seems to me if he got elected mayor he could sit in his office and play Words With Friends all day long unmolested. What more could an adolescent want?

    That said, narrow escape for the Big A. This butthead as a mayor would surely destroy the city. Bloomberg has already given a pretty good start!

    Trump for mayor! At least it’ll keep him out of the Presidential race! :)

  • Regulas

    Go for it Baldwin, you leftist fascist lover, the idiots in NY will probably vote for you.

  • You’re JUST an actor

    That makes us even Baldwin, I lose my appetite every time you get media attention.

  • Sterling Headset

    He’s such a thin skinned little boy. How is he going to survive in NYC?
    Keep the flakes in Hollywood.

  • ThrowObummerOut

    Who would even vote for him?

    • Regulas

      NY is full of leftist dunkoffs, look at the idiots they keep voting for. The have a food Nazi mayor right now.

  • Frank

    Robert Osborne, the Gay lefty, of Turner Classic Movies has kissed Baldwins ass to let him cohost so much. There is something going on there. What is the real reason Baldwin is on the show so much? I think it is free publicity in case Baldwin wanted to runfor mayor.

  • hmph

    He is a thoughtless little pig just like his mother, daughter and that awful flight attendant.

  • A. Baldwin

    He is a GOD and would be a great Mayor!

    • Johnny Dangerously

      Hee… you’re funny.

  • UNCLE GUS

    As is obvious, Baldwin certainly hasn’t lost his appetite for the buffet …. PUKE !

  • Patrick Nugent

    I thought Monsieur Ego pledged to move to France several years ago. He should check to see if the Mayor of Paris job is still open. I bet Tina Fey’s skin crawls being around a creep like him.

  • Hannah Abbott

    Baldwin is NOT fit for any public office. He is not running because he made a fool of himself on a air flight 2 weeks ago. . if not for that, he would be running.

    Running in spite of his ludicrous threats against Henry Hyde a decade ago. . . .running in spite of his assaults on journalists and photographers a decade ago. .. . .and running with no regard for the truth or being honest.

    Alec Baldwin is societal waste, and his 15 minutes is over. . .take a hike, fat ass.

    • sik

      an AIR flight as opposed to what?

  • Deb

    Yes, New York deserves this jerk!

  • GWSA

    Baldwin is just as pathetic now as he was when he lost the GW student body president election. So pathetic that he transferred with his tail between his legs to NYU. He lost then and he’d lose now.

    • antney

      He’s still a loser. Squinty-eyed boozer- loser. He’s an ACTOR for god’s sake. Don’t take him too seriously.

  • Dianna

    More Alec Baldwin tool-ness.

  • Robert Marvin Smith

    Alec is worried about the guy who wants to run his hand up some woman’s blouse.

    Alec, should be worried about the “GUY” who can’t wait to get his hands on his next Martini.

    Stage 2 and counting…

  • Databyter

    Baldwin is a poster boy for kooliad liberal fidiots.

  • Very Conservative

    I’m horny for Newt.

    • Baldy Kirby from Atlanta

      I’m horny for Obama.

      On behalf of the sane American people, I’d like to bend him over a barrel & return the favor he has given to us for the past three years….

  • 8staple

    Sounds like he is afraid to put his money where his mouth is

    • Johnny Dangerously

      Yeah… could be because his mouth is so big he’s afraid his money will get lost if he gets it anywhere near it. Can’t blame him for that…

  • PaPa Joe

    What a loss. Wait a minute, what a loss, again, in case the first “What a loss” was unclear. If he would run and win just think, he could communicate with the people from a plane on an electronic device during take-off or leave messages on answering machines to be made public on You Tube and, later on, on cable “news”.. What a loss !

    No one would vote for him anyway

  • DOUBLE_CHINNED_PUPPETEER

    I want Baldwin for mayor so he can completely destroy NYC.

  • Rhiannon

    Gloria in Excelsis Deo!!! Gogoniant i Dduw yn yr Uchelder!!!

    • Baldy Kirby from Atlanta

      Yeah, and can I get extra cheese on that, please?

  • susan miller

    I want him to run for mayor!
