I am pissed at Alec Baldwin. Despite calling his daughter “a rude, thoughtless, little pig” in the now infamously inexcuseable and abusive phone message released by TMZ last week, he forced me to watch the View this morning.
I f@$&ing hate the View and more specifically Rosie O’Donnell, but I am a big fan of Alec as Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock and was certain he would use this opportunity to take some responsibilty for his ridiculous tirade and show the world he is deserving of atleast a tiny bit of compassion. How wrong was I?
Acting as the meat in the middle of a Rosie-WaWa sandwich, Alec spent 20 minutes placing the blame on everyone possible but himself. He cited the guy that released the tape as being a miserable human being who exploited Alec’s dark moment only because he himself had a closet full of deep dark secrets. He then went on to bash all the members of the tabloid media as being evil people with broken souls. And if any one person deserves the blunt of the blame, it is not himself, but rather his unfit, emotionally troubled ex-wife.
She’s not my favorite person in the world, but I can’t help but feel a little something tender for Rosie O’Donnell these days.
Yes, she’s loud. Yes, she has made horribly stupid remarks in the past. And sure, she never really fooled me with that ‘nice’ act, but to have Tom Delay up your ass for saying out loud what a lot of Americans are thinking these days can’t be fun at all.
If you don’t spend all your time reading CNN.com and People.com like me, let me give you a quick rundown of the controversy: Delay, the former House Majority leader who resigned earlier this year under speculation of financial wrongdoings, is pissed at Rosie for a few things, but most notably, her continual questioning of the 911 tragedy. Rosie has publicly stated that she will seek “a rigorous truth” about September 11th , which basically means is that there are a lot of questions she feels have gone unanswered about the event. Delay claims that O’Donnell is blaming President Bush for the attacks, throwing conspiracy theories around and letting the ‘terrorists’ off easy.
