Pack your bags, Alec! MSNBC fires Baldwin over anti-gay slurs

Alec Baldwin has been fired by MSNBC, sources say.

The rage-aholic’s weekly show, “Up Late With Alec Baldwin,” has been canceled because of the actor’s foul-mouthed rant at a photographer he called a nasty name.

I suspect that Alec’s future in Democratic politics has been reduced considerably.

[MamaB]

He should have never been hired in the first place. It was a very bad decision.

[BunnySlippers]

You can trash talk a female, but not a gay person.

[Maine Mariner]

But he directed his comments at a “protected group.”

This is for show thinking they will get more viewers if they fire the big bully..Not going to work MSNBC..from what I understood he was toast anyway just wasn’t bringing in enough flaming liberals for them..

Besides demanding a humidifier because he claimed the air at 30 Rock was too dry, Baldwin alienated staffers when he demanded a separate makeup room being used by a woman with cancer who is sensitive to hairspray.

When Baldwin was told he couldn’t have his way, he allegedly bellowed at the top of his lungs, “I don’t give a f - - k if she has cancer or not, I want that f - - king makeup room.”

When is the credit card company going to wack him. He is a useless POS. F HIM.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He belongs on MSNBC...
They deserve each other.

[VerySadAmerican]

He knew it was coming. That’s why he said he was going to retire.

As for getting fired for calling someone a c-sucker, it’s said in movies all the time. I didn’t know it was an anti-gay slur. I thought it was just a normal slur.

Whoever made the command decision to hire Baldwin in the first place certainly knew that he has a history of outbursts. Therefore, I conclude that Baldwin was hired in order to "hand him a rope" and make an example out him in 3, 2, 1...

Probably crossed some crossdresser or something. At least Baldwin says outright what many of them think silently. An odious character, but he's what real Hollyweird is behind the masks.

[colorado tanker]

This is just pretext. Nobody believes Baldwin is anti-gay.

The fact is Baldwin is a jerk to work with and wasn't catching on with an audience so they wanted a reason to fire him.

[ColdOne]

Wanna bet if he had high ratings he would still be working at MSNBC? They were happy to see this event, they needed a way to fire him.

Queer dissing is disallowed by the queer management at Comcast

[TigersEye]

Did he know that the c-sucker really was a c-sucker? Was the c-sucker wearing gold lame diapers or something?

[bigbob]

I assumed his statement was based on his own personal experience

[Huskrrrr]

Put down that coffee! Coffee is for those with high ratings!

(satire from Glengarry Glen Ross)

[NEMDF]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Guenevere]

they’ve got Samuel Jackson doing his spot now
