2. Alec, that didn't seem sincere although I know divorce sucks.

3. I...I....I....typical response from Baldwin. Is it always all about him? If you look up narcissism in the DSM-IV-TR would you find a description of him there? Is he a classic abuser-user? "...what she put me through." So are we to believe that his relationship problems are never his fault? He obviously truly believes that "the real damage" was that his phone message went public. Are you kidding me?!! Is he the kind of guy who'd say, "She MADE me punch, insult, berate and degrade her? It is all HER fault?"

"I was pissed off. I've been putting up with this for 6 years". That's the best he can come up with for berating his young daughter in his phone message? Does this man not have emotional maturity to know the difference between reaction and response?

4. He's mad because he's lost his looks, and is now officially off the leading man lists. That's how petty and stupid and shallow Alec Baldwin is. And what a loving father he turned out to be. SNORT.

5. I think that might be "germ cell" in the homunculus definition, not "germ call."

Good grief.

6. You have the definition wrong.

7. I may catch a lot of slack for making this comment, but having been the "new wife" for 10 years now, and dealing with the emotional garbage hubby's ex has foisted onto us as well as their son, I can see why Alec snapped. No one needs to put him down until they have lived thru Parental Alienation Syndrome. Until you have walked a mile in those particular shoes, you cannot honestly say what you would & would not do. It's a horribly selfish & mean thing to put a child thru in the first place. And unless you just have unlimited financial resources to fight it out in court (which we do not), there's not a single solitairy thing that can be done. At some point, you just throw up your hands and walk away, and you tell yourself, "Well, one day my child will see the truth of this whole fiasco." And you hope & pray that they do. Alec and Ireland are BOTH in my prayers. And if Kim is anything like my hubby's ex, well, all I can say is that there is a special place in Hell for people who do that to their children.

Ireland is damned if she loves her dad (or displays her love), because Kim will make her feel guilty for doing so; and if she doesn't show her love for her dad, then he's hurt and that makes her feel badly, too. So, as you see, there are NO winners when dealing with PAS. But I ask you "do-gooders" and "finger pointers" out there to do some research on PAS before passing judgment on Alec Baldwin. Every human being has a breaking point, and you can only take so much before you say things you shouldn't. And that includes every single one of us experiencing this human condition. No one is exempt. If you say you wouldn't/couldn't do that, then you've never dealt with the adversity that others' have. You've been unbelievably lucky. I wouldn't wish PAS on anyone.

8. The only remorse he has is the world learned how he speaks to his child.

9. What a loser! It isn't his fault....you're the adult you moron! Grow up, go get anger management training and stop making excuses for your pathetic, abusive behavior!

11. Just saw "Hunt for Red October" last night...Baldwin has aged real bad.

12. Didn't Kim say she didn't like Alec being around their daughter because he was verbally abusive to her? Which came first the chicken or the egg? Which came first the verbal abuse or his parental alienation issues? I believe Kim, Alec was pure evil when he spoke to his daughter, it says a lot about his character.

13. I assumed that this 60 Minutes bit was Alec's testing of the waters for his much-rumored entry into politics. Alec, if you're reading this, here's a clue: don't bother.

I don't know many who will vote for a man who, first, called his young daughter a "thoughtless little pig," and then had the audacity to get on national television and try and explain this away by saying that his daughter was hurt NOT because her father screamed this at her, but because I heard (along with most of America) that she had been called that.

There are enough fools in office without electing one more.

14. Am I the only one that thinks his daughter was unfairly influenced by her maniac mother? He was frustrated because, yes she was ignoring his calls wich is thoughtless. So give him a break. Most kids can be thoughtless little pigs, and his was being one. He told her she was, so what?

15. Hmmm...I wonder how TMZ will treat Alec Baldwin this time around.....last time he retaliated by outing Harvey Levin.
