How does this garbage about Baldwin get out there ?

[blues90]

I assume it was a phone message , I really don't know and honesty could care less .

Don't we already know there are screwed up parents out there , is there supposed to be some sort of learning message here ?

What's the difference between Baldwin acting as an ass or anyone else , what just because he is well known he should be considered an example and a higher lesson .

What amazes me which really shouldn't is how and why this phone rant of his even got out there in the first place , this is more of a problem than Baldwin in my opinion , just more senseless media coverage that will lead to nothing other than a ratings war . That's all , cheap ,petty conversation in the work place and nothing more than that .

I can just see it , news media trucks flying on two wheels around every corner from all direction coming to a hault with the cameras and mics drawn like weapons and the bimbo reporters with their hair and last minute touchups all to look like the pride of the red , white and blue bull shit wagon of insanity .

1. Or in here?

2. well that's true , however it's an extension

the media brought it to the forefront first other wise we would have never known , and really why should we .

3. Kim Basinger released it!

Seems pretty immature on her part. I've said this in other threads but obviously the parents are still fighting and she's (and maybe he's) using the daughter as a pawn in this fight.

How could a mother release this, knowing the media scrutiny it would get?? Why would she put her daughter through that??

5. She released it because she knew exactly ....

what media scrutiny it would get. She is more concerned at hurting Alec Baldwin then what it might do to the daughter. It is revenge, plain and simple. And that in my opinion is plain rotten.

4. Lets see, Baldwin is a democrat who has slapped down Hannity

And he is an actor, therefore, the media must take him down.

Do I think it is an appropriate message to leave for an 11 year old? Absolutely not. I will say that we don't know what preceded this to make him blow up this way. There is more to this story that we will never know. 11 year old girls can be very moody, and I think the custody hearings were nasty.

11. Did you know that hours before the phone call Baldwin was on Letterman

laughing about her new love of dance, and imitating some of her "dance moves" before a national audience? Maybe that might account for some moodiness, don't you think?

[MiniMe]

15. Very possible. Pre-teens are embarassed easily and tend to be moody

Like I said, there is absolutely no excuse for the phone message. Absolutely none.

6. If this was Rush

9. he gets NO PASS

Thank you for your response. :)

7. What is it that you don't get about actors?

They are one notch up on the food chain from cockroaches. With apologies to the roaches. You should read about how they were treated in Shakespeare's time. Just because they can read lines and convince you of something gives them no credit. Think I'm wrong? Tell you what. Go on down and volunteer with the local community theatre. Once you get to know actors it will hard to talk to one with feeling the urge to vomit. All right, Basinger, way to treat your kid.

10. Way to generalize with that

broad brush you're painting actors with.

They're no more screwed up as a group as any of the rest of us.

[winston61]

12. No, I've got to go with my original conclusion-

actors are pretty much all I said. Get to know a few and you too will be convinced. It's almost easy to feel sorry for some of them. It takes a special kind of insecure neurosis to go out and beg strangers for love and approval.

13. I wasn't looking to change your mind..

I can see it's set. I don't agree.

14. Leave Alec alone. He is one of our most important spokesmen/
