MANILA, Philippines — Actor Alec Baldwin's joke about getting a Filipino mail-order bride provoked a sharp response in the Philippines, with one senator saying Monday that the "30 Rock" star faces violence if he ever visits.
Baldwin, 51, who is divorced with a teenage daughter, said in a May 12 interview on "The Late Show" with David Letterman that he would love to have more children.
The Emmy-winning actor quipped that he was "thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point ... or a Russian one."
Baldwin has been involved in a bitter dispute with his ex-wife, Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger, over custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Ireland.
Philippine Sen. Ramon Revilla said Monday that Baldwin's comment was "insensitive and uncalled for" and an insult to millions of Filipinos.

anyone who endorses beating Alec Baldwin gets my vote...
I’d pay good money to see that on pay per view.
Beating, naaa how about he use a Balisong on Alec(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balisong_(knife)
)
Can I hope he is related somehow to Manny Pacquiao? Alec needs a real good butt kickin’...
Didn’t Al Gore, or someone else get in trouble for a similar joke?
He wasn't quipping. He knows this is the only way he'd get anyone to marry him.
Perhaps stoning, like Alec suggested doing to Henry Hyde?
Hopefully Putin will be weighing in shortly as well.
You are worthless Arec Baldwin, you are worthless Arec Baldwin
You failed in every way and now my stock in you has fallen
Your career is stallin’ and you’re worthless Arec Baldwin
That’s why I blew your head off and your children are all bawlin’
Based upon the Filipino men that I know, I would take the good Senator at his word. Baldwin would do well to offer a humble and unreserved apology.
Alec Balwin you no butterfly me!
Flick, Flick.
well, even pinos will tell you (somewhat bitterly) that Philippines’ biggest export (and foreign exchange earner) is their women - as nurses, as maids, ... as lead singers of every hotel / bar house band throughout Asia, ... and ... as brides.
I talked to a sweet Philipino girl doing IT stuff
in setting up my DSL line. We talked for at least
half an hour. She was really interested in the US
and said I should come to visit the Island.
ETc.
Thing is that libs think we're the Neanderthals.
Alec has a crack in his hair.
