The Bloviator Chews Out His 11 Y.O. Daughter

I don’t know what’s more disturbing: The way that Alec Baldwin would take such offense at his daughter, Addie, an alleged “rude, thoughtless little pig”, for not picking up the phone when he called, or that, presumably, her mother, Kim Basinger, leaked the incensed rant he left on her voice mail to the public.

Baldwin made repeated threats to “come out there and straighten [her] ass out for good.” He said he’d be on a plane on Friday the 20th,” was very specific about the date. On the other hand, perhaps he was merely auditioning for one of David Mamet’s Ford commercials.

Divorce is hard, when you add children and custody matters to the issue, it is that much worse; nobody’s arguing that Baldwin needn’t be torn up by these personal issues—everyone is entitled to let the ball drop and act like assholes once in a while. I’m not sure that he deserves the world listening in on his anguish or his infantile way of responding to it, though. This uncertainty, however, isn’t precluding me from adding to the netbuzz on the issue here.

One now wonders if, after all the buzz, he is in fact on his way to have it out with his young daughter. An industrious man would start immediately peddling “Save Addie” t-shirts.
