If my daughter is supposed to call me every such and such a day at such and such a time, then she better make damned sure she’s on that phone, and I don’t care if she’s six or sixty. That’s her Dad: show some respect.

Phones are not mystic magic talismans. I've worked with telecommunications all my life and I continue to be amazed to hear people speak of them like Pavlov's bells to drooling dogs. You can trust me on this, I know how they work. It is just a tool of convenience. We should all let the phone ring off the hook once at least every other day.

Feh. It’s just legal bluster. Baldwin hoisted himself on his own petard. He’s the one who will suffer the worst damage by far. This is out there now, it can’t be brought back, and him having lawyers swarm all over to try and find someone is just a sideshow.

The horse is out of the barn, Alec baby, and there’s no putting it back again.

Even if it was Basinger herself who released the tape, the judge isn’t going to give Baldwin points in the custody battle on account of that.

Sometimes you’ve got to break the rules in order to get justice. Somebody did here. Good for her!

iI’m sorry, and I am not a big Alex Baldwin fan, but if he didn’t care about his daughter, then he wouldn’t even bother.

If that's what you call caring, I feel sorry for your wife and kids.

Mom’s message of thanks, courage, strength. Dad’s message of rude little pig that needs to have her a@@ straightened out by him. Maybe it would have gone over better if he’d wrapped it around some candy.

“...to save the child from unwanted publicity...”

The night before, Alec Baldwin belittled her on national TV. He exposed her to unwanted publicity.

What’s the best dodge here? That the daughter herself, a minor, had a copy of the sealed information and released it.

And what is the judge going to do, hold the minor in contempt? Put her in jail? For striking back at her father for his own public humiliation of her.

HA HA HA.

This is easy to beat. The child takes the rap, which is no rap in that case, just a “stern talking to” by the judge. And in the process she otherwise scores a great set of points with the court as to why her jackass father shouldn’t get any custody of the daughter.

Baldwin cannot win this, no matter what. Somebody may get rapped on the knuckles a little bit, but he still loses.

HA!

What hasn’t been said is that Baldwin sounded hateful.
There’s a difference between anger and “I want you
dead” kind of hatred.

It looks like he sees his daughter as a prize he’s determined to “win” (or “to not lose”)...shades of the movie, “War of the Roses.” He’d rather hack the child up that give any part to the x-wife.

Yeah,
the Moms candy bar message sounds very loving and special. I don’t see what is bad about it.

To back up your theory...take a look at the way he talked about her on Larry King and then on Letterman. EXACTLY what you are talking about here.

The court tried to SEAL all procedings in this case and SOMEONE on Basinger's side of the deal leaked this tape to TMZ.com for public "broadcast".

Legal Filing - pgs. 5-8

VICKI J. GREENE, hereby declares as follows:

1. Declarant is an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the State of California and attorney of record for Respondent in this dissolution proceeding. I have personal knowledge of the following facts and if called upon could and would testify compentently thereto. I submit the following in support of Respondent's request for relief:

2. On April 18, 2007, I appeared before this Court for the hearing on Petitioner's Motion. After that Motion was ruled upon in open Court, the Court obtained an ex parte application. However, over Petitioner's objection, the court closed the courtroom for the protection and privacy of the minor child (pursuant to Family Code 214) and conditionally sealed certain pleadings.

3. On April 19, 2007, Harvey Levin of TMZ.com, a celebrity online gossip website, admitted to me that he intended to publish a tape recording of a voice-mail message he had between Respondent and the minor child. He also told me that he obtained the tape from a source whom he would not disclose to me. He also told me he had information he believed came from the April 18 hearing. I told Mr. Levin that I had no idea what he had, but that what he purported to have had to have come from an improper source. I also told Mr. Levin that the court proceedings had been closed to the public and sealed.

4. I urged Mr. Levin not to go public with the tape recorded message and that the dissemination of what he claimed to have could result in Respondent taking legal action against him or TMZ.com.

5. During my conversation with Mr. Levin, I told him that it was my intention to send a letter to him confirming the subject of our conversation. He provided his address and fax number. A copy of my letter is attached hereto, incorporated herein by this reference and marked "Exhibit A".

I have to agree, it was hateful.

In my opinion, anyone who accuses an 11 yo girl of making them lose control is pathological. Baldwin is responsible for HIS OWN BEHAVIOR. No matter what. Girls and women are not responsible, HE IS RESPONSIBLE.

I only read the transcript, and thought about my own little girl, and then thought about Alec Baldwin’s face, and thought how satisfying it would be to put my fist into it.

I’ll bet you that the way the mother’s side plays this is that the girl released a copy of the tape she kept herself (the naughty thing). What sort of sanction for contempt is the judge going to be able to assess against an 11 year old who was the subject of that harangue by Baldwin? And I’ll bet the daughter plays along too. Rub the guy’s nose in it.

I actually have some saved messages from my angry ex to me. He uses the same word, okay all the time, like I’m supposed to agree during his loud, angry tirades. And he was a verbally abusive bully during our marriage. That’s why he was thrown out of our home! Alec Baldwin has a severe anger problem and I experienced the same. I don’t know if he has or is being verbally abusive to our son YET!
