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."

Some of our sailor friends, who’ve spent some time at Subic Bay, have been referring to Filipino women as LBFMs (no doubt a popular nautical term). I’ll let you figure out just what that acronynm means!

It would have been much funnier if he had said "Korean".

Like who hasn't seen a copy of Cherry Blossoms? I know lots of guys who have Filipino wives. And every last one of them sends money to the rest of the tribe back home.

Imagine if Baldwin had made fun of gays? Or worse, if he said what Carrie Prejean said.

Where is the anger from the left, the multi-cultural left? Oh, he gets a pass because he’s a liberal. Just imagine if an “outed” conservative actor such as Tom Selleck, Robert Duvall or Clint Eastwood had said that. PMSNBC, CNN, and all of the networks would be all over that!

Ok. They do have mail order brides, and it’s fairly common. Why is that an insult? They do it.

I guess that is one country he can’t live in if Bush gets elected in 2000 or 2004.
Oh wait, HE IS AN ACTOR...never mind.

Obama’s fault. The world knows that we are nothing but cowards and idiots.

What an arrogant bastard. Once again you can see why liberals are smelling racism absolutely everywhere: It is because they themselves are racist to the core, so they think everybody else must be, too.
