Oh that liberal elite media and its terrible sense of humor! Everyone needs to get their heads checked, because Stephen Baldwin was simply making a hilarious joke when he said he would leave the country if Barack Obama became president. According to our least favorite Baldwin brother, "The liberal Democrats who didn't get that I was joking need to lighten up." Here's a thought, Steve-O: Perhaps everyone knew you were joking but, deep down, secretly hoped that you were serious and would pack your bags after Nov. 4.
Threatening to box Barack Obama wasn't enough to prove Stephen Baldwin the craziest in his nut-job family, so now he's coming after the other team.
After Palin's comments on SNL this week that Stephen was her favorite Baldwin, the bass-mouthed brother took to the TV circuit, claiming he would beat down Joe the Plumber for a chance to become the next GOP mascot, "After Joe the Plumber and all the hype he’s getting, it’s making me think that to be the number one Republican kind of poster boy, I have to challenge Joe the Plumber to a UFC Smackdown.”
Stephen also gushed to Extra his love for the VP candidate. He "thinks she’s [Palin] fantastic and more qualified to potentially be V.P. than another individual; maybe to be president.”
Let's repeat that: Stephen Baldwin thinks Sarah Palin would be a good president. Good job Alec, you just got replaced for the top fanatical Kool-Aid sippin' Baldwin brother.
So the other big guest drop-in on SNL this week besides Marky Mark was VP candidate Sarah Palin, finally making good on her promise to stand next to Tina Fey for five minutes with an awkward smile. But did you notice the 30 Rock star never appeared on stage with Palin for more than .05 seconds?
Perhaps because Fey has come out so so so vocally against both Palin as a political figure (If she wins I'm moving off this planet) and personally (easiest impersonation since Sling Blade).
Below, compare Fey's two-second dash next to Palin, and compare to Amy Poehler's Hillary Clinton, when faced with the real senator from New York:

Hint: It's not the famously unhinged one, or the one that was on Celebrity Rehab. God, that family.
We don't know how they do it, but they do, and it. Is. Fucking. Astonishing.
The maniacs at Fox News somehow put together an earnest segment in which giggly hack Laura Ingraham talks to ACTOR Stephen Baldwin about just why the heck these loudmouth celebrities think they can go around expressing their opinions. We're pretty good at sensing irony, and there is NONE in either of their voices. Not even when Stephen, who, by the way, is the one not as smart as Alec, not as handsome as Billy and not as rugged as Daniel, says, "Here's what's freaky to me: The media and Hollywood is so convinced that mainstream America cares what it thinks." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God, we hope this guy's not kidding when he says he's leaving if Obama wins.
