Actor Alec Baldwin -- since he woke up one morning believing that he understood politics and had an opinion that American’s would be interested in hearing -- has said and written a lot of absurd things. His recent rant at HuffnPuff has to rank high on his growing list of most inane.
Please take a seat, and secure all fluids. You’ve been warned (emphasis mine throughout):
All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send in more troops. If you don't think there is a link between the weather and Iraq, you are wrong.
Checking that link about now? Don’t believe me? Well, The Shadow was just getting warmed up:
Our country must lead the way in global energy strategies that will, somehow, convince countries like China not to spend decades to come burning trillions of tons of fossil fuels to grow their economies in the way we did. It is the most important work we can do now, on par with "fighting terrorism."
He really wrote that. I swear. But, the best was yet to come, for next on the docket was a loveletter to Chappaquidick Teddy:
Kennedy has it all right. Time is up…Thank God for Teddy.
Sadly, he wasn't talking about Ted Knight. Of course, no Baldwin rant is ever complete without some vitriolic statements thrown at the Vice President:
A lot of talk about what the Dems should do now that they are at the wheel. Two people this Congress should not let up on. Cheney, obviously. Can't let the opportunity slip away to prosecute Pinochet-ney for all of his crimes.
Next on the hit parade was a man that Baldwin likely voted for in 2000, but much as most of his ilk, he's mysteriously forgotten:
The other is Lieberman. This party needs to send a strong signal, and that is that loyalty matters in partisan politics. (Did Lieberman really think that his colleagues would chuck the entire Connecticut state apparatus just to soothe his ego?) Lieberman needs to go to the shed. For a very long time. Gotta get his mind, right. And when he comes out, ask him, "Are you a Democrat, Joe? Or aren't you?"
Amazing. Isn’t it wonderful that Arianna has created a forum for folks like this to write their non sequiturs for all to read? She must be so proud.

What vapidity lurks in the heart of Alec?
January 9, 2007 - 23:42 ET by RiharKinda off subject (are Alec's rants really worth commenting on?) but I saw his version of "The Shadow" and I instantly wanted my hour and thirty minutes back. I really like the old Shadow radio shows but this movie was agressively bad.
When a liberal speaks, the truth is busy elsewhere.

He ruined the Thomas the Tank Engine experience for me.
January 10, 2007 - 02:34 ET by terrigSome thoughtful relative gave my 2 1/2 year old son a DVD of Thomas narrated by the idiot Alec Baldwin. I had to throw it away, it wasn't the movie it was just a bunch of these silly Thomas stories. Now my poor son is looking for his "choo choo" dvd. I told him it has to be in the house somewhere. Well, someday he'll be big enough to understand.
Was that really necessary?
January 10, 2007 - 15:48 ET by kathleenirishWas that really necessary? I love Thomas (I have four boys and 'Thomas' has been a staple around here for about 15 years now). Screw Alec Baldwin! Go get the old Ringo Starr ones if you feel so deeply about it. The ones with George Carlin are the best, though. I mean, he's a loon too, but he plays a nice character in the show. Give your two year old a break.

He's under the mistaken impression that he has something to say.
I'm glad he's got Arianna's blog to say it on because otherwise we'd be exposed to him burning his house down to say it.
Speaking of non-seuiturs, what's with the spate of celebraty political BS so soon after the election? Is this the pre-neo-Democrat Presidency? You know, like Clinton's Presidency?
Their coat of foreign policy and domestic economic/policy advice and global warming twaddle is a true reflection of the depth of the Democrat political thinking that passes for ideas today.
It is going to be a fun 2 years, but I am afraid we have already heard it all in the first 9 days.
Too bad. One would have hoped they would have more silliness than the three main Democrat ideas this first 10 days of the year.
1. Cut and Run.
2. We hate Bush.
3. Raise Taxes.
Sigh.

I interpret that as him saying the industrial revolution was a mistake. And by extension, that the United States is a mistake. I don’t know why that surprises me. Didn’t this clown say that he would leave the country if President Bush won the election? Another liberal campaign promise broken.
At the end of the day, who gives a crap what Alec Baldwin has rattling around inside his empty skull??
What the MSM doesn’t realize, is that people like this will ultimately contribute to their downfall. The MSM loves to cover nuts like this when the nuts are saying things that are aligned with the MSM goals. Then, invariably, the nuts are emboldened (as are the terrorsits) by the coverage they get, and their behavior further degrades into insane monologues and actions. The MSM will pretend to ignore it, but they have already aligned themselves with these nuts and are caught in a catch 22 because at that point the MSN can’t/won’t denounce them.

Hollywood Needs One Of Their Nuts Back Immediately
January 10, 2007 - 09:10 ET by emjem24I don't know if I should bother even responding to this moron's delluged statements but I'll try. Linking global warming to the War In Iraq is absurd. How does fighting the war on terror make global warming more of a believable theory? If we kill more terrorists perhaps that might signal more warming trends? Does Alec Baloney really think that if we lead China and India by the hand and show them how to use less fossil fuels that they will? China and India don't give a damn about what we have to say, even though they know they're part of the problem not the solution. China is the biggest polluter and is responsible for making sure there is no oxygen to provide life to any organism in the Yangtze River. Why doesn't he bring up how China may be responsible for killing the Yangtze River dolphin while he's at it? We aren't responsible for the actions of others. China doesn't give a damn what anybody thinks, they support terrorist baddies like Iran and North Korea and obbfuscate in the UN at every opportunity. Why don't you go over to China, Baloney, and see if you have as many free speech rights as you do over here? Then, taking Lieberman to task because he's not "loyal" enough to be a Democrat. Isn't that funny...I was just going to say that Democrats aren't loyal enough to the United States to suit me (Teddy "hiccup" Kennedy, Turbin Durbin, and Smellin' Levin). All this leads to my final point. I don't visit Huff n' Puff for this very reason. We shouldn't give these people any credibility and when folks like Bill O'Reilly invites a Huff n' Puff contributer on his show to discuss the new strategy in Iraq it spells trouble.

January 10, 2007 - 09:59 ET by dscottAlec is ranting about China and India because they are dumping socialism for Capitalism. Of course it's the US fault, the Chinese and Indians are copying the same successful economic format as of the US. If the US had socialized like France, then there would be no successful model to copy, now would there?
Global Warming has nothing to do with the environment, is it about socialism. The only way to hobble the success of capitalism is to follow Kyoto by reducing economic activity and giving all the profits to the socialized countries that failed to give their citizens an opportunity to succeed.

January 10, 2007 - 10:18 ET by dscottIf they were really serious about Global Warming the amount of money they would give for the carbon credit would be on the order of at least 10 x what they are paying now. In fact, if they were truly serious about CO2 release they would reduce their carbon foot print to match their spouting. But like all hypocrites, the liberals and global warmers in particular justify themselves by condemning everyone else. As long as they point the finger of blame, the finger is not pointed at them. Thus we have Al Gore flying around in his personal jet and living in houses of enormous size. Instead of buying indulgences to carry on their lifestyle, why not just adjust your lifestyle to the common citizen? Al Gore flying his personal jet uses as much fuel in one trip as the common citizen in a year of driving. Al Gore's living space (14,000 sqft between two houses) equals at least 7 residences of the common "American" citizen. Heck, one house of the average person would probably fit in Al Gore's living room!
So now, Alec, what's the size of your house? How many do you have? Do you fly in personal jets? How about of your friends?
