Alec Baldwin 'to keep mouth shut' after rant at daughter
Breitbart ^ | Apr 20, 2007 | Unknown

Posted on 04/20/2007 2:25:32 PM PDT by 3AngelaD

Alec Baldwin has taken a vow of silence after a recording of a volcanic tirade by the actor to his 11-year-old daughter appeared in US media reports.The Oscar-nominated star of "The Departed" unleashed a heated tirade at daughter Ireland, who has been caught in the middle of tit-for-tat legal battles between Baldwin and ex-wife Kim Basinger in recent years.

Baldwin's April 11 rant -- where at one point he informs his daughter that she is a "rude, thoughtless, little pig" -- was reported widely in US broadcast and online media Friday...

Baldwin's spokesman said in a statement that "in the best interest of the child" the actor would "do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing -- keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order."

The statement said Basinger and her lawyer leaked the tape in violation of a court order, and that Baldwin regretted the choice of language used.

"Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years," it added...

Poor baby. What "he has been put through"? This guy's head is about to explode. I hope there is a camera around when it happens, and I hope no one gets hurt. Kim Basinger has really done a number on him by releasing this tape.

Alec Baldwin is liberal.

Thus, all is forgiven. He is tolerant and celebrates diversity and probably is buying carbon offset credits. He dislikes George W. Bush. So his heart is in the right place for the politically correct crowd, so this incident will be overlooked because of his liberal credentials.

Can you imagine the reaction if a conservative had done this? My gosh, Hillary and Harry and the gang would be calling for improvements in the Violence Against Women Act and other penalties.

I do not think he can do this, he also said if Bush was elected he would MOVE OUT of the US, well we are waiting.

I wonder if anyone in Las Vegas is taking bets on when Alec Baldwin explodes next?

Normally, I’d be willing to give a guy the benefit of the doubt, this was a private message, out of context and part of court fight.

However, I simply can’t imagine a parent ever speaking to child this way, for any reason. There is no excuse, no matter what he’s been “put through”. I see it as little different from Russell Crowe’s attacking that guy with a phone.

The behavior shows him as spoiled, hypocritical, controlling and irresponsible and downright stupid, to say the least.

An older quote from Alec Baldwin:

I’m thinking to myself, if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families. [stands up, yelling]

Well, buying all those carbon offsets from Al Gore so he can fly his private jet from NY to LA to see his daughter is really hurting his budget to support his other liberal causes.

Ewwww. Nasty. Plus that picture of him must be 15 years old at least. He now looks like a bloated hunting dog.

Now, I myself can talk the other arm off a one-armed man, but I seriesly doubt that Mr. Baldwin will be able to shut his trap.

Alec must have an awfully poor self-image if he is ‘humiliated’ because his daughter didn’t take his call. But then I can see why he might have....
