"30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin jumped on the anti-Rush Limbaugh bandwagon Friday calling the conservative talk radio host "an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict."
He also took a cheap shot at one of America's most-beloved presidents referring to Reagan Republicans as "the bulls***t...wing of the party."
Such vitriol was included in a Huffington Post article entitled "Hoping the GOP Gets Its Act Together" (h/t NBer Rush Fan, vulgarity warning):
Rush Limbaugh is an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict who was, at least according to Wikipedia, ineligible for the draft because he had cysts on his ass.
I have dear friends of mine who represent real Republicans. Goldwater Republicans. Strong on defense. Tough on immigration. Fiscal conservatives. Not the bullshit Reagan wing of the party which, along with Clinton killing Glass-Steagall, brought us to where we are today.
My friends who are these real Republicans (not hypocritical evangelicals who are too lazy to raise their own children properly so, therefore, insist that all public institutions and policies bend to their will to make that job easier) do not listen to Limbaugh. They don't care what he says. They think he is an amusing entertainer. Like most progressives I know are well aware how hit-and-miss Michael Moore can be and, ultimately view him as an entertainer and don't give a damn what he says.
Until Limbaugh gets real, weans himself off the big salary and runs for office, he will always be nothing more than a poorly educated, marginally talented buffoon who has developed a real talent for manipulating the G-spot of the neocon consciousness and massaging the hate gland of so many economically displaced white voters in America.
This from a man who:
- Claimed the press gave President Bush a pass for eight years
- Sees a link between global warming and the war in Iraq
- Thinks Larry Craig voted to "censor" Barney Frank
- Wrote that Al Gore during the Florida recount debacle was gang raped by Dick Cheney, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and James Baker
- Called Dick Cheney a terrorist
- Insulted Jeanne Kirkpatrick shortly after her death while calling for the CIA to be disbanded

I love it how liberals
March 7, 2009 - 21:52 ET by mostlymoderateI love it how liberals always poke fun at Rush for being "fat" or a "drug addict". They never practice what they preach.
Exactly mm... ...or
March 7, 2009 - 21:58 ET by bigtimerExactly mm...
...or bad-parenting to just throw in another one with the hypocrisy coming from this hypocritical blather by the likes of him, plus we sure as heck can't forget the lovely nature he had about stoning one of our congress-critters to death along with his family...(I know who it is, I'm just having a mind blank with the name, I want to say Henry Hyde)...
....anyway, on and on it goes...he is really on a slippery-slope to the loony-bin.
Yes, bt... It was Hyde,

It was Hyde, but the stoning comment has been taken out of context. He certainly wasn't advocating that Mr. Hyde be stoned to death.

Drug addict vs. drug abuser
March 8, 2009 - 05:01 ET by DontFeedTheTrollsHmmm, "drug addict", let's see, Rush took legally prescribed drugs for chronic pain and became addicted to them, that addiction caused him to break the law to satisfy his physical and psychological needs for the painkiller, on the other hand Obama needed to 'feel good' about himself (having been abandoned, as worthless (rightfully so), by his parents) and tried every drug he could get his hands on.

Has Obama stopped? Most likely.

Wonder how many of his
March 7, 2009 - 22:22 ET by RR GOPWonder how many of his Hollywood pals have been to rehab?
Also, I think we could go through a 'hefty' list of fat actors.
Yes, Mr. Baldwin with his Bachelors of Fine Arts degree is much more knowledgeable than even those with higher and more relevant degrees on such things.
Also, pretty tired of the Left saying that the Dems are far more educated than Republicans. Possibly in sheer numbers, don't know, but looking back at past elections Republicans have been elected by a majority of those with college degrees.
Doesn't matter anyway. A citizen's worth and their expression of free speech isn't predicated upon their level of education.
However, too many citizens aren't seeking alternative explanations but merely relying on a very ideologically corrupt media to inform them. Wonder if those now out of work are still buying into the Obama 'Hope and Change' thing now?
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
Oh it's easy for Libs to say
March 8, 2009 - 11:02 ET by sinaOh it's easy for Libs to say they're more educated when you can pad the numbers with all those "Bachelor of Womyn's Studies" and other crap degrees in the same vein. *roll eyes*

March 7, 2009 - 22:25 ET by ThalpyAlec Baldwin has been a good actor, but he's dumb as a stump in a political sense. Due to his mindless blather, he's ruined all of the movies he's ever been in for me. It's a shame.
Thalpy,
March 7, 2009 - 22:30 ET by RESTLESS 1I've never thought much of his acting. Even his Hulu commercial sends my blood pressure spiking.

Exactly right!
I wished more than anything these La-La-Land nitwits would just shut-up and stick to acting, I do not want to know their politics anymore at all...the leftists in Hollywood have destroyed an class and decorum that was once used in Tinsel-Town when it came to when and where to do so...
I'm with you, it has destroyed the total outcome of a movie or such that may be great for me with all the time being distracted here and there with my mind thinking about some of their blathering politically while trying to enjoy the show whatever venue the show is...
As far as I am concerned they are going to destroy themselves within eventually too...
So Tonight we have A Night at the Opera on TCM....
March 7, 2009 - 23:03 ET by connman....and I turn to my wife and ask; just how many great movies has Alec Baldwin starred in to co-host and comment on such a classic Marx Bros. movie? She turns to me and asks, who's Alec Baldwin? Any hoo........ sums up his Political Opinion as well.
Obama's a lyin PoTUS!
LOL, conn
March 8, 2009 - 12:01 ET by BlondeWe watched Night at the Opera last night too.
When Alec Baldwin appeared as the co-host...I turned to my mom and said "He's really gotten FAT" (he looked like Jabba the Hutt in a bad brown suit, actually).
Pot calling kettle.
Shut up and act, Alec. Oh....and I'm sure he had Sarah Palin in mind with his crack about evangelicals, riiiight...this from a man who attacked his own (eleven year old) child in a most vile and vulgar way.
I hope he fails, too.
Alec Baldwin called his
March 7, 2009 - 23:00 ET by TN MomAlec Baldwin called his 11-year old daughter a "thoughtless pig" , cussed and threatned the child in a voicemail.
I've never heard Rush speak badly to/about children. Ever. Huffington Post must be proud of child abuser Baldwin.
Usually when you make a statement, you have to make sense.
March 8, 2009 - 01:22 ET by gopcongressSo let me get this straight:
"I have dear friends of mine who represent real Republicans. Goldwater
Republicans. Strong on defense. Tough on immigration. Fiscal
conservatives."
Excuse me: "Dear friends"...?? "Real Republicans"...?? "Goldwater Republicans"...?? Strong on Defense?? Tough on immigration?? Fiscal conservatives??
Pray tell, dear boy...where DO you find these individuals who can't identify with Rush?
It's like me trying to find a socialistic, anticapitalistic, high-tax rate pacifist who thinks President Obama is nothing but a bull**** Democrat. Sheesh.
Easier to find pink unicorns. Sober.

March 8, 2009 - 05:19 ET by Jack BauerSo now the known child-abusing Baldwin is lecturing others on raising kids. Do we need to link in the audio of his insane rant at his own 11 year old daughter?
As sad as it is amusing.
"an uneducated, marginally
March 8, 2009 - 06:42 ET by jdhawk"an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict." - Yep, that pretty much sums up most Hollyweird actors these days . . .
Or, let's look at the most recent Oscars - their mutual admiration spectacle. They gave awards to producers, directors, and actors for movies that nobody saw or wanted to see. Then, had the temerity to lecture the American people on their stance concerning gay "rights." They then topped if off with insincere sappy testimonials to each others' "talents" which they had to read off a teleprompter.
Everytime one of them opens their mouths they disgust me.
"an uneducated,
March 8, 2009 - 06:47 ET by Slickster"an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict." Hey Baldwin just think of how much money you could have made if you were half the man Rush is.

March 8, 2009 - 08:05 ET by RowaneWhy does anyone bother listening to the hackneied opinions of a has-been memory stick?
Gee, I must have missed it
March 8, 2009 - 09:31 ET by eaglewingz08Gee, I must have missed it when Alec called Elizabeth Taylor a fat pill popping drug addict? Alec must think talk radio has money to burn if Rush is only semi talented, for talk radio to spend its money on him would be quite foolish. Of course Alec is talking from a lib government employee type perspective. Libs in gov't will spend trillions on semi talented or no talent projects because they are spending OTHER PEOPLE's monies. Thus they don't care about anything but aggrandizing themselves with power. In their personal lives they spend diddly squat on charities and other help.
And don't the Baldwin boys also have a history of addiction and semitalent. Seems that Alec might be projecting his own mental problems on Rush.
Isn't Alex Baldwin
March 8, 2009 - 09:55 ET by katiejane"an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict?
Bully Baldwin
March 8, 2009 - 10:11 ET by adamsmithThis guy has room to talk about uneducated and fat. As previous posters have said, Rush got addicted to prescription pain killers from chronic back pain. There is presently more than a million Americans in the same position. He wasn't alone. Marginally talented? Rush has 20 million listeners, based on his ability to see an argument to its end. Baldwin got by on pretty boy looks early on, and as far as weight goes, I'd say Rush doesn't have him by much. Overbearing? Calling your pre-teen child a pig doesn't qualify for that,does it? Jesus, Alec, don't point out splinters in your brother's eye when there are Redwoods growing out of yours. The left are the true haters. Rush is only putting forth a conservative agenda. I'm a bit more centrist in my views than Limbaugh, but he makes way more sense than Baldwin ever will. Alec's best role was in "Team America". If you haven't seen that movie do yourself a favor and do so. The scene where they blow Baldwin up on stage and replay from multiple angles in scene after scene like the Zapruder film(Kennedy Assasination) is a classic. In that case it's sad life didn't follow art..........

March 10, 2009 - 01:41 ET by MeowMeowWell, the fat f*ck DOES have his BFA. If that means anything. Of course, some of the smartest people I know don't have any degree (my Dad, Rush) and some of the stupidest ones have several (Obama, Baldwin).

March 8, 2009 - 10:06 ET by jessieHJessie R. Hamby Now that is the pot calling the kettle black! Baldwin is an uneducated, marginally talented, overbearing, recovering drug addict. If you listen to people like this you have no hope of having a free will. He is a hack.
Alec Baldwin...
March 8, 2009 - 10:15 ET by Roger the ShrubberAlec Baldwin...
Just one more thing.
March 8, 2009 - 11:51 ET by pbthinkerRonald Reagan was an actor who took a political stand. He reported that the Democratic Party left him so he became a Republican and decided to run for office, not just call people names or have someone else do it. As he start implementing his ideas, more and more people agreed with him. He was elected, twice, as governor of California, he was elected twice to the Presidency of the United States.
That being said, Alec Baldwin has done little of significance, either as an actor, politician, or critic. He's lowered the level of discourse to such a degree that few, except the wackoo left wing, really care what he thinks. This guy wants to know Limbaugh (20,000,000 listeners and growing). If 20 million people watched the dribble he calls a television show, he'd be in high cotton.
Finally, Alec Baldwin is an uneducated baffoon with nothing to add to the conversation. The fact that Huffington has given him any prominence indicates they also want to be viewed the same way.
Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.

March 8, 2009 - 16:28 ET by deerjerkydaveAlec Baldwin's words are just dripping with fear. They DO NOT want the Republican party to swing back to its conservative roots.
There is no intellectual debate in these words, just fear mongering and insults (sounds like the climate alarmists).
Conservatives should take these kinds of comments as a good omen. The Dems and the propagandist media do not want the Republicans to exist, let alone be as successful as past conservatives like Reagan.
"the bulls***t...wing of the party."
March 8, 2009 - 18:43 ET by NC CopGosh, that means so much from a man who called his own young daughter a "thoughtless little pig".
Piss off Baldwin, nobody cares what you think.
Did Alec leave that message...
March 9, 2009 - 08:30 ET by Mike Bratton...at HuffPo, or on his daughter's voicemail?
And didn't Alec promise to leave the country awhile back? Such amazing technology nowadays, for him to be able to appear on "30 Rock" as though he's actually filming with them in New York City!
Oh, wait a minute. He's in New York City? Maybe he did leave the United States after all...

hey alec! you called your daughter a what?
March 10, 2009 - 01:23 ET by MeowMeowAnd Alec is a whit-knuckle alcoholic, marginally talented, treasonous, hysterical child abuser, what with his yelling at his daughter over an anwering machine, calling her a litany of lovely names. He's a classic example of precisely what's wrong with this country.
If he was really a big sh*t, he might be earning as much money as Rush. The best he can do is relegate himself to television, since he never did and still doesn't have much of a film career.
He is, as my father would say, a deluxe turd. And he's fat.
