MSNBC is PATHETIC for HIRING this ass......oh wait....EVERYONE they hire is an ass, it’s a prerequisite.

[Squantos]

This circus is IMO a “ hey look at me” event to let people know this POS has a show on MSNBC....

Could give a rats ass about this punk poser or the presstitutes he works for.

Bad publicity is still publicity at work here..... Move along, ignore the squeaky sissy socialists.

...my opinion.

Alec and I both need to chill.

Nah! The "f-gs" just need to stop "s--king" "c--k".

Peel the mask off any Leftist and voila - Alec Baldwin/Sean Penn/Baraaaaaaack Obummer/Nancy Pelati-Face.....

Cosell used the phrase "look at that little monkey run!" in 1973 in reference to a kickoff return by Redskins Herb Mul-Key. There was no backlash.

Ten years later, in 1983, he said "That little monkey gets loose, doesn't he?" in reference to Redskins wide receiver Alvin Garrett. The head of the SCLC demanded a public apology. Cosell refused, pointing out that he had used the phrase for small white athletes as well.

Cosell 'retired' from football after the 1983 season, saying he had lost interest in professional football.

So a two week suspension, with the test pattern as a replacement.

When Neilsen Ratings show a higher number with the test pattern than alecia, what will the comcast brass do?

Thanks. Unfortunately, my work load has not allowed me to be here very much.

UPDATE: Hours after having his wrist slapped with a two week suspension of his low-rated MSNBC show, MSNBC’s Alec Baldwin took to the Huffington Post to try and clean up the mess he made after being caught on video Thursday calling a photographer a “c**ksucking f*g.” Baldwin admits that “whether his show will come back at all is at issue right now,” but does himself no favors in that regard by bizarrely changing his story.

Soon after the video hit of Baldwin screaming “c**ksucking f*g,” the actor took to Twitter to claim that he had not said “f*g,” but that “acoustical analysis” proved he said “fat head.”

Now it sounds like he won’t be back. I thought he did something like this once before.

After eternally angry Alec Baldwin let loose his latest anti-gay rant — calling a Post photographer a “c–ks–king f-g” — the cable network yanked its flailing “Up Late” chat-show host off the air for two episodes starting Friday night.

Baldwin contritely announced his own suspension in a statement on the MSNBC web site.

Much ado about next to nothing. Whatever Baldwin loses from his MSNBC (aka PMSLSD) suspension won't impact his finances in any significant way. And what MSNBC loses in TV ratings from not airing his show doesn't amount to much anyway; their ratings are already in the tank, deservedly so.

Does anyone rally care about Alec Baldwin or his views about homosexuality anyway, other than the MSM?

Thanks for the ping!

This guy was a Hollyweird actor, and he has a problem with gays? No wonder he’s switched to news.
