An Open Letter to Alec Baldwin

In light of recent events, I've been inspired to pen the following epistle to the most famous of Baldwins:
Dear Alec,
GO F*CK YOURSELF...
Sincerely,
--Joan.
For those of you unfamiliar with Alec's most recent rant, here's some back story: As part of Alec Baldwin's custody agreement, he has set times to speak with his 11-year-old daughter via telephone. Here's what happens when Ireland Baldwin isn't around to get her dad's call:
An enraged Alec Baldwin unleashed a volcanic tirade of threats and insults on his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," and bashing her mother Kim Basinger -- and TMZ has obtained the whole thing unfiltered and raw. And we've learned, a family law judge was so alarmed after hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with his child. After Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled morning phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time." Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out." "This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow. [tmz]

I'm done defending Alec Baldwin... when taken in conjunction, his cumulated tirades conclude he's both insane and a friggin' bastard. He's certainly not going to win father of the year. But you know what suffers most from all of this: 30 ROCK. It was just gettin' good, dammit.

Aaaaaaaarghh, how can nobody be pissed as hell at the mom that's releasing something private between a father and daughter, and in the process dragging down her family?!

because the something private is an outrage.

why, 'cause he said "piggy" to his daughter?

let's see, what's worse, a man who berates his child in an effort to discipline her, no matter how misguided, or a mother who abuses her relationship with her daughter and ex-husband for the sake of bringing the latter down? don't tell me she actually feared for her well-being, she would've gone straight to the cops, not to the press!

i'm still under the belief that the kid herself aired the tape. lots of 11-yr-olds are savvy enough to pull something like that off. they also have nannies, no one knows for sure kim did it. and even if she did, it's not as bad as his tirade. that's what he was willing to have on tape... i can't imagine what's said when he's in her presence. disgusting.

don't really see what he said that was wrong, at all! my dad, in frustration has cursed me out and at other times has whooped my ass and thinking back on it, not only did it do me good but it was warranted and a good parenting tool. and i can't believe that anybody would think that the ultimate family betrayal, leaking out private matters that tear apart a child from its parent, is worse than a verbal tirade! if basinger did it, which i believe she did, i think it's worse than cheating on your spouse, much worse, especially fo the child's mentality and future. if the child did it than she is in fact a spoiled little brat and if he were a good father he wouldn't just go on a verbal tirade, he should go over there and give her an old fashioned whoopin', bent over knee!
