Alec Baldwin’s homophobic rage

Why does the actor and MSNBC host expect everyone to keep forgiving him?

DANIEL D'ADDARIO

The actor and MSNBC talk show host Alec Baldwin’s anger issues are well-known at this point — no one can reasonably be surprised at his outbursts at the paparazzi who follow him or his self-serving, self-pitying interviews about his hope to leave the entertainment industry despite the fact that he hasn’t yet.

But rage is one thing. Homophobia is another. And once again, Baldwin has gone to an antigay slur in a moment of weakness, calling a photographer something that sounds to ears other than Baldwin’s a lot like “cocksucking faggot.” He has claimed, in now-deleted tweets, that he said “cocksucking fathead,” then went on to tweet about just how tolerant he was of gays and about his misunderstanding that “cocksucking,” directed at a man, has an antigay valence.

[Faux pas]

1. Baldwin is a nozzle.

2. He should be fired

This is not the first time (or the second, or the third) time his temper has gotten out of hand and we would never accept someone from the right using the kind of homophobic language Baldwin seems very comfortable using.

6. They should have never hired him in the first place

He has a history of doing and saying things that are distasteful. The person who hired him should have asked the question: Am I willing to stake my career on this? I think we know the answer.

3. His show is terrible...I made it through about 10 minutes of a couple of them. Read that the ratings

are plummeting.

4. I guess that's why his show wasn't on tonight on MSNBC. It was a prison show.n/t

7. He had stated the next couple of shows were suspended.

I have a feeling that the shows will be canceled.
