During a recent pause in his book selling tour peddling some kind of tripe to gullible christians, the forgettable and forgotten actor of bad B disaster movies confessed to this reporter, "It's true, I was a failure as an actor, but now, I am turning my mental deficiency to profitable use by selling my stupidity to folks even dumber than me. And there's a whole passle of 'em!".
"I'm as dumb as a sack of hammers, but not so dumb that I can't see an oppurtunity when it slaps me in the face.", he said.
Referring to his recent appearance on Primetime, he read from a prepared script- "When I saw what happened on 9/11, well, I knew that such a thing was impossible, and if 9/11 happened, which was impossible, then maybe Christ was going to return to earth, and I better start believeing in him right away. (This is not fiction, he really did say this in his Primetime interview, during a Primetime show about the influence of big business on the eveangelical movement.).
When this reporter asked Mr Baldwin how much money he was making from his "celebrity" appearances at evangelical mega events, and the sales of his books and CDs, he said, "A fuck of a lot more than I was making from those crappy movies...".
This reporter thinks that maybe he's dumb like a fox, crying "Hallelujah" all the way to the bank.
