Baldwin is not as bad as the press make him out. I rather think he’s too conservative for their likes.
He is heterosexual with a wife and baby he adores. He’s a loyal father. He has his beliefs and opinions but he works within the American system. He’s a good citizen who pays his bills, his taxes.
Our system is supposed to allow for freedom of beliefs. The press has tormented the guy into reacting for headlines.
It sucks to be famous these days.
When I was a youngster every kid's dream was to be famous AND President of the United States. Woohee were we wrong.
Alec Baldwin to his first daughter, Ireland, via voice mail:
"You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned."
He beat his first wife and called his daughter all kinds of names. Alec needs 24/7 counseling while locked in a padded cell.
I've often thought his Jack Donaghy character on 30 Rock was one of the best written and acted conservative roles on television.
Baldwin could've played him as a buffoon but he didn't. Baldwin played it straight making Donaghy the mature adult surrounded by a sea of idiots and children --and got some of the best lines.
