Baldwin's Brain

ESCAPE FROM REALITY
Re: Robert Stacy McCain's Alec Baldwin's Disorderly Mind:

A few observations about Robert Stacy McCain's article concerning Alec Baldwin:

1. Prurient interest in the sex lives of other people is alive and well in both parties.

2. Since I doubt there are many people who care what Alec Baldwin thinks about anything, I suspect Robert Stacy McCain's purpose in writing this article is to try to preserve this wedge issue for the GOP or to divert the attention of the faithful from the obvious hypocrisy evident among some members of the GOP and the Party itself.

3. Maybe the Party didn't cut Craig's throat, but Mitt Romney's denunciation of Craig was so quick and so graceless it even left Republican Strategist Mike Murphy shaking his head in disbelief (Meet the Press -- 9/2).

4. When will Americans mature beyond Middle School when it comes to human sexuality?

Well we all know that Alec Baldwin does not tell the truth, after all he was going to leave the country if George Bush became President. Alex let me say: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. You would not be missed.

Excellent!!! Once again it shows how out of touch Alec Baldwin and the rest of Hollywood is with real America. Not there dream world America. It also goes to show just like when blacks, of notoriety, get arrested for a crime they committed that the "B" word Black is used as a defense. The same seems to be the case with "H" and Homosexuality now.

Thanks.

Is there a better dividing line between liberals and conservatives than this one? Liberals think that it is acceptable behavior to trawl for sex with strangers in public toilets. Conservatives don't. As a conservative, I have never lost a second's sleep over this. I blame my parents; they bought me up this way.

Alec Baldwin is an uneducated man who is only coherent when speaking the words of others. At that, I must say, he is a master.

But he is also deeply self-centered and, so far as I can see, completely disconnected from the human condition. I well remember his browbeating of his daughter on the telephone, a rant that went on and on, completely out of control. That was the real man -- not words written by someone else. And whatever inconvenience or impertinence triggered that rage, the rage was there, completely inappropriate as a way to deal with a child. If I had been her mother, I would have called the police.

The leftist line is the default condition of the intellectually lazy and the socially uninvolved. The left takes the view that there is no public morality; that a person cannot advocate a course of conduct that they do not personally uphold in all circumstances. But we are all sinners. If public morality cannot rise above the lowliest of our own conduct, then there will be no public morality.

But that is far too heavy a thought for Mr. Baldwin, who simply exhibits leftist Tourette's Syndrome, expostulating the first thing that comes into his head and thinking it is wisdom.

We haven't forgotten that phone call, Alec.
