Alec Baldwin Disses Jeane Kirkpatrick, Advocates Disbanding CIA

Posted by Noel Sheppard on December 9, 2006 - 19:15.

Arianna Huffington really needs to rethink access to her blog. Lately, the nonsensical ravings of her guests would be much more appropriate at Daily Kos than the Huffington Post.

This abomination by actor Alec Baldwin is a perfect example. On the day America learned it had lost one of the classiest people to ever represent our country at the United Nations, Baldwin chose to disparage her in a way that either questioned her femininity, or insinuated she was a warmonger:

I heard William Bennett on CNN, eulogizing Jean [sic] Kirkpatrick. He referred to her as the GOP's Thatcher and called her "our Iron Lady." What is it about these people that they can never talk of peace? (Even their women have to come across like Vince Lombardi.)

How thoroughly disgraceful. Huffington should either request Baldwin apologize for this detritus, or do it herself.

Yet, that wasn’t Baldwin’s only absurdity (emphasis mine):

There is a way to defeat terrorism while building new and better alliances in the Arab world. It will be an enormously complex and difficult diplomatic puzzle. But the first step might be oddly simple. Get rid of the CIA, which has outlived its usefulness and is an embarrassment to this great country, and rebuild and reform US intelligence capabilities to fight this new type of threat. I think our hopes must begin there.

Imagine that. According to this genius, getting rid of the nation’s foremost intelligence agency will defeat terrorism. He must also think we could reduce the crime rate by eliminating police officers.

Welcome to enlightened, liberal elite thinking, ladies and gentlemen, brought to you on a daily basis by the editors of the Huffington Post. Arianna must be very proud.

Now that is excellent--never heard it before. But is it Islamderthals or Islamdertals? Perhaps blam or SunkenCiv can give us a ruling...

The only reason why this guy is even listened to is because he is allegedly famous and did a couple of movies. Frankly, he is a f----- actor! They are luckly that they know their lines yet alone foreign policy.

I think DeNiro's new movie, The Good Shepard is the rallying cry to start the left's attack on the CIA. Our enemies couldn't think up better enemies than some of our own citizens.

I am sure that it's always a good idea to take advice from someone who makes their living playing pretend.

Nothing new. Libs have always believe that simply telling your enemies that you love them will win them over. In the early nineties there were a number of voices calling for eliminating the CIA. As I recall they were all libs or Dems. The undermining of our intel is the reason 9/11 happened. With the connivance of Quisling libs.

I thought the conventional wisdom was that the CIA was filled with Valerie Plame types -- leftist oh-so-politically-correct social climbers who are more worried about their power, prestige, and BMW payments than about crawling around a cave in Kandahar.

Alex Baldwin is a complete has-been grasping at anything to get noticed again.

I knew Alec was a nut job, but THIS really puts the icing on the nut-job cake.

WOW.

Just Damn material.

He's an overpaid fading actor who thinks he knows everything.

Alec Baldwin isn't fit to carry Jeanne Kirkpatrick's handbag. I notice the two of them never entered into any kind of verbal sparring contest when she was ALIVE, because Mr. Baldwin values his testicles too much. She would have sliced them off, sauteed them with a little butter and served them with a nice Chianti, and he would have been too stupid to know what he was eating.

There isn't a person on earth who could out-debate her, and her wit was brutal to those with the arrogance to try. When she's long dead, she'll still be the master of someone like Alec "Which Way to My Ass?" Baldwin.

"Get rid of the CIA, which has outlived its usefulness and is an embarrassment to this great country, and rebuild and reform US intelligence capabilities to fight this new type of threat."

Sorry but I have to agree with him on this point. The CIA is an embarrassment for a few different reasons but mainly due to Congress and CIA directors not having the balls or intelligence to run such an organization, no pun intended. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco everyone got scared and put an end to all significant operations. The CIA has become a bunch of geeks sitting in front of computers watching images from spy satellites. When they need information they go to the Library of Congress to find it. Real intelligence gathering means relying on boots on the ground along with officers and allies around the world.

I would sure as hell advocate a new, better, less-technology reliant intelligence agency without the beaurocracy and "don't step on my toes" mentality of the CIA. I would not advocate any type of meaningful communication with the enemy, Islamofacists.
