It takes a village idiot to raise a child

I’m not going to take sides here, but there is more to this situation then we are being led to believe.

Alec Baldwin may be a liberal nitwit, but that does not mean that the ex-wife is not running mind games on the daughter trying to alienate her from her father.

Baldwin is pissed and if Ms Bassinger is trying to alienate the daughter from her father, she is doing a masterful job and Baldwin is falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

On the other hand Baldwin may very well be a jackass father who doesn’t deserve visitation.

Can’t know from my vantage point.

Maybe that’s why he plays buttholes so well, it isn’t really acting. Seriously, nobody but nobody plays a better slimeball jerk than he does.

I hope his daughter with help from mom will get over this. A dad’s spoken opinion of a daughter can help them reach the top of a mountain or make them jump off when they get there. Most likely she will marry someone equally as terrible, which will make great tabloid fodder for the masses...

[windcliff]

Just wow. He must be a total a-hole.

[Former Proud Canadian]

This guy is a real a@@hole.

I'm sure his daughter can hardly wait to see this clown again.

[Dr.Syn]

I believe this dispute at this stage can only be solved diplomatically, politically and economically.

Baldwin should opt for an immediate cut-off in funding and a redeployment.

[stinkerpot65]

Baldwin is a jerk in general, but this comes from a tabloid, so I wouldn’t put it past them to make this tape on their own.

That guy need serious anger management classes

[steve-b]

Sounds to me he is suffering from the penile cranium disease.

That aggrivates his preexisting rectocranial inversion.

[Kimmers]

Is this the Baldwin that wanted to murder a senator and is entire family because he was investigating Clinton.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Can’t know from my vantage point.

Exactly. Proof that one divorced parent is a disgrace is not proof that the other divorced parent is any good.

[ryan71]

If he had a good relationship with his daughter, which he obviously does not, he would not have to worry about any games her mother might be playing.

I think he said on the recording he was, “going out there to see her for the WHOLE day”. Nothing like quality time!

This guy is a serious loser and has no business around his daughter. Of course, Bassinger is probably a loser too.

Poor kid, she has no chance.

[hosepipe]

BUT, was she, a thoughtless little pig?..

[csuzieque]

Sounds like Baldwin to me (several TMZ posters thought it wasn’t him). I wouldn’t let him within a mile of the child. He sounds psychotic and dangerous.

[hardworking]

Can’t know from my vantage point.

With all due respect, are you deaf?

I don’t care what kind of aggravation an EX is causing (yes, I have been through that!) one does NOT talk to ones child in that manner. Ever.

If there is a problem with interference from the EX, then that is what high-priced lawyers and court-appointed child psychologists are for.

—soomehow I doubt that NBC will see fit to play that on the evening news tonight—

[llevrok]

Imus was fired for less - from NBC.....

[MaryFromMichigan]

Male version of Joan Crawford: "No... wire... hangers. What's wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you: no wire hangers EVER?"

[JerseyDvl]

Sean has to let people know how abusive Alec Baldwin is to his own 11-year old daughter. He is an unstable, paranoid, and ranting lunatic who stoops so low as to pick on his child.
What a piece of scum.

[Elpasser]

Unbelievable.

And we’re supposed to look to these idiots for advice on politics and morality!

[Old Grumpy]

Disgusting. This “man” does not deserve to be the father of a child.
