Scott Baio

Respectfully, I have no fucks to give about the political insights of some has-been "b" actor. I cannot even understand why we waste the effort and pixels to discuss this but yet here I am
Seriously, this one of many reasons we are in the mess we are in: we are letting actors and reality tv "stars" shape our political discussion or be governor or presidents or presidential candidates. The vast majority of these type of people are in no way credentialed or otherwise qualified to shape political debate on a national scale, they are a fluff entertainment news piece at best.
Being a mediocre actor 25 years ago should not get you a public forum to spout nonsense.

If not for his current new found attention, this moron would be staring at me from a fast food drive thru window handing me a milkshake.

All things being said, it was genius to have the original lawyer in Arrested Development played by Henry Winkler replaced by Scott Baio.

this was old scotty's toe dipping into the political arena.

I bet you dollars to donuts he has aspirations of running for something.

even with his screw up with the offensive tweet, the right wing mouth breathers eat that up.

so I predict this isn't the last we have seen of this warmed over has-been.
