Alec Baldwin

Liberals have been predictably up in arms over anti-gay comments by Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson and thrilled about his termination. Rather shockingly you can't count Andrew Sullivan amongst them, for he took to his Daily Dish blog Thursday to proclaim, "I’m befuddled":

Alec Baldwin can't make up his mind. After complaining Tuesday about MSNBC's Martin Bashir still being on the air despite his vile comments about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, Baldwin said Sunday he's glad Bashir still has a show:

The New York Post reported Tuesday that MSNBC's Up Late with Alec Baldwin has been cancelled in the wake of the host's most recent gay slur. Yet eleven days after Martin Bashir said someone should defecate and urinate in former Alaska governor Sarah Palin's mouth, the vile host with some of the lowest ratings on cable television still hasn't been punished in any way. Baldwin apparently sees…

I'm with Alec Baldwin on punching aggressive paparazzi photographers. I'm with him against the word police. I'm with him on the stalker. I'm with him on using an electronic device on a plane before takeoff. I'm with him on Kim Basinger playing visitation games with their daughter. What are conservatives doing demanding Baldwin's head for calling some pestilential paparazzi a "c*ck-s*cking…

Left-wing actor Alec Baldwin just can't stay out of trouble. The most recent example of that is his calling a photographer who was following him and his family “a c**ksucking fag." That incident caused MSNBC to suspend his Friday evening Up Late interview program for at least two weeks and there are reports that his show may be canceled entirely. Baldwin's angry behavior was the topic for…

Alec Baldwin picked the wrong reporter to mess with. After an altercation with the actor Friday, the New York Post's Kevin Fasick - a former professional boxer - officially challenged Baldwin to a boxing match with proceeds going to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation:

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Alec Baldwin went on another homophobic rant Thursday. This led Andrew Sullivan to take on the hypocrisy of the liberal media which will likely once again ignore Baldwin's behavior:

The last time Alec Baldwin went on a homophobic rant, he was rewarded with his own television show on MSNBC. What will be his reward after this most recent one reported by TMZ Thursday (video follows with commentary, extreme vulgarity warning):

Could it be, just maybe, that there's hope for Randi Rhodes yet? Rhodes finds herself high on the list of prominent left-wing radio hosts (mainly because it's a very short list), but her rants as often documented here make it difficult to take her seriously. (Audio after the jump)

 Liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who famously admitted to a "thrill" that Barack Obama sent up his leg, on Friday praised the "girlish" and "playful" Hillary Clinton. The Hardball anchor appeared on Alec Baldwin's new Friday night show and conceded that he and the potential 2016 candidate "giggle" and "laugh" together. Matthews was talking to Baldwin about gay rights and made one of his…

A few hours ago Daily Beast editor-at-large Lloyd Grove published a deliciously scathing review of MSNBC's new Up Late that premiered Friday. From the very first sentence, readers could tell he wasn't impressed: "This is a terrible and surprising question, but is Alec Baldwin really that boring?"

Alec Baldwin granted an interview to Politico’s Patrick Gavin about his new MSNBC show. Television is turning out to be much tougher than his public-radio show. He seems to revolting against the rules, like wearing an earpiece because that’s “so artificial.” He even sounds like he’s revolting against what MSNBC is, underlining he was reluctant to sign on for a show. "I wasn’t that wild about…

Alec Baldwin got himself in some trouble earlier this year when he went into a homophobic tirade with a British reporter. On Wednesday, Baldwin's rage was directed at "blatantly out of touch white men" Bill Kristol and Joe Scarborough:

MSNBC has a new ad for Alec Baldwin's show thate premieres on October 11, and the folks at the Lean Forward network have chosen to make light of the actor's numerous high-profile flare-ups. In the promo, Ed Schultz says with a straight face, "MSNBC has turned to a man who can restore balance to an unbalanced network" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
