Alec Baldwin: No NYC Mayoral Bid

Perhaps due to his recent embarrassment with American Airlines, Alec Baldwin says he's no longer interested in being mayor of NYC.

“I’ve lost my appetite,” Mr. Baldwin said on his weekly podcast on WNYC radio, “Here’s the Thing,” when the person he was interviewing, the director Stephen Daldry, suggested that he run for mayor. Mr. Baldwin partly blamed the current field of potential candidates in the 2013 mayoral race for his loss of interest, suggesting that he found their keen ambition and eagerness distasteful. “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,” he said on the podcast, which was posted on Wednesday. “They’re all just so horny for it.”

Whew!
