Bad boy-turned-bellyacher Alec Baldwin threw a 5,000-word, seven-page pity party for himself in the entertainment media he says he abhors. Hey, what better way for a Hollywood narcissist to protest the attention-starved shallowness of celebrity life than to wallow in it to the bitter end?
The rage-filled actor's bloated face is on the cover of New York magazine this week next to the headline "I Give Up." Inside, his rambling and nutty "as told to" confessional bids adieu to "public life." Baldwin seethes about, well, everything.
He's mad that countless reporters and photographers dared to cover his toxic little outbursts and violent confrontations over the years, because they ruined his "dreams of running for office at some point in the next five years."
He's mad at gays for calling him out on his gay-bashing statements that he either denies or forgets he made. (Oh, and he throws in a reference to an "F-to-M tranny" just to reassure the "Gay Department of Justice" that they're totally wrong about him.)
He's mad that his fellow New Yorkers don't bow down and kiss his ring like they used to, back in the day when they'd stop him on the corner and heap praise on his charitable activities and work as a "great supporter of the arts."
He's mad at MSNBC for not letting him book actress Debra Winger on his ill-fated, short-lived train wreck of a vanity talk show.
He's mad at liberal doyenne Arianna Huffington for an article in the Huffington Post about pimples.
And he's especially mad, mad, mad about how angry and hateful the rest of America has become. "The heart, the arteries of the country are now clogged with hate. The fuel of American political life is hatred," he fumes. It's all the fault, he fulminates, of "Roger Ailes," "Fox News" and "Breitbart."
Funny guy. These complaints are coming, after all, from the hate-clogged hate-monger who called Andrew Breitbart "a festering boil on the anus of public discourse" for exposing rapes and violence at Occupy Wall Street camps -- and who taunted Breitbart's friends after the father of four's tragic death in 2012 by gleefully floating conspiracy theories on Twitter.
Bawling Baldwin can't take it anymore, America, but he sure loves to dish it out.
Remember: Our born-again champion of civility and tolerance is the same rageball who attacked a Starbucks barista he didn't like as a "queen," derided conservative women who identity themselves as "moms," mocked Filipina women as mail-order brides, smeared the entire state of Florida as a "f***ed up parallel universe" and savaged an American Airlines stewardess who told him to put his iPad away before takeoff. "Last flight (with) American," he sneered. "Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950s find jobs as flight attendants."
This abuser of service workers and serial misogynist's laments for a kinder, gentler America ring hollow. But they're not nearly as hollow as his habitual threats to disappear from public life.
Bloviating Baldwin threatened to move to Canada if George W. Bush won a second term, but he never followed through.
He threatened to quit show biz last fall, but he didn't go anywhere.
He's threatened to quit Twitter at least three times, but he always comes back.
Now he's threatening to decamp from the mean streets of Greenwich Village to Los Angeles, that sanctuary of privacy and oasis of compassion and sincerity, where the baristas will be more servile and the photographers will put down their cameras and toss rose petals at his feet.
Babbling Baldwin says he'll never talk to an American publication about his "personal life" ever again. If only it were true. We all know this drama queen ain't going nowhere. He won't leave the spotlight. He's addicted to fame and dependent on infamy. It's all he has left.
The man was reasonably successful when he was young and kept his opinions to himself. Age has not been kind to this bloated pig who also just can’t seem to keep his trap shut. Personally, I’d guess is IQ is room temperature or below, probably a lot lower.
Hey over here, look at me I’m over here. I’m old, fat and an a-hole but I’m still important so look over here.
Clue for Alex: Nobpdy give a crap what you think or say, your just an old, fat almost was who’s time has passed you by years ago never to return.
"Gays" also don't like the fact they've been 'called out' by a Power a bit Higher than Alec; too.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
Sounds like he is upset for growing up Catholic!
Alec Baldwin had one good scene his entire career (in “Glengarry Glen Ross”). Take that away, and he is totally irrelevant.
A friend of mine went to high school with him. He was an a$$ back then too.
That lady writes a good screed!
I still think Baldwin was correct in identifying Mika Brezinski as the Margaret Dumont of MSNBC.
One of the most telling moments in my life was getting caught up in a gay pride parade in Paris about ten years ago. I will never, ever forget the looks on the faces of the Muslim store owners as these freaks passed by. An absolutely chilling glimpse into the future...
Alec Baldwin should follow the lead of Sean Penn, go find a totalitarian dictator that needs PR and will stroke his own vanites in every fashion.
Venezuela is already taken by Sean Penn. Rodman has North Korea.
No star has yet dared to prop up a Muslim totalitarian state, except Obama. That’s all about fear. A real trend setter like Alec Baldwin should go to a Muslim country and sit at the right hand of a dictator.
I kinda like watching him get chased by the giant sandworms of Saturn in Beetlejuice. Not great cinema, I'll admit - just satisfying.
My day has officially been made. Thank you.
It’s an old reference that most freepers won’t get. But it’s accurate and Baldwin did say it - so he’s not completely nuts.
Wasn't that just pitch perfect?
Very odd are the days when I find myself wanting to high-five Alec Baldwin and (just as rare, and perhaps more troubling) Vladimir Putin.
I went crazy when I read that! Actually, his screed is very funny - whether he’s mocking someone else or making an ass of himself. But then I read and love the National Enquirer. I’m just that kinda shallow gal.
Monday morning (after the story broke) I tuned in to MSNBC to see how they would handle it.
Schadenfreud you know.
There was a brief mention of Baldwin’s rant on the Way Too Early show, but no details and none of the funny lines.
And on the Morning Joe show? No Mika and no Joe. They didn’t show up. No explanation given. They just didn’t show up.
Now maybe they were traveling or working out details on Joe’s putative presidential campaign. But I think it was just another pathetic instance of those in the media doing what they do these days: protect their own and, above all, protect themselves.
I heard he was a Mormon.
This only works in certain threads.
I hope you weren’t; ahem; bringing up the rear...
