Alec Baldwin Blames 'Fundamentalist' Gay Activists For End Of MSNBC Show

Alec Baldwin ended his short-lived cable news career with a bang on Tuesday, slamming what he described as "fundamentalist" gay activists for the end of his MSNBC show.
Speaking to Gothamist, Baldwin was scathing:
I dispute half the comment I made... if I called him 'c--ksucking maggot' or a 'c--ksucking motherf--ker'... 'faggot' is not the word that came out of my mouth. That I know. But you've got the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy--Rich Ferraro and Andrew Sullivan--they're out there, they've got you. Rich Ferraro, this is probably one of his greatest triumphs. They killed my show. And I have to take some responsibility for that myself."

(2,339 posts)1. Hitting bottom ain't easy, Alec
Been there, done that. Hope he learns the lesson soon. Dana ; )
Faux pas
(14,672 posts)2. To me he's been
scraping the bottom for a long time. I watched his first show for about 5 minutes and that was enough for me.

word that was the problem, Alec?
Whether the term started with "m" or "f", when you preface it with "c--ksucking" you're making a pretty clear statement. Add to that the rather grandiose thinking that your downfall is probably someone's "greatest triumph" and that other people are even partially responsible for your bad behavior . . .
I hope you get some needed help soon, Alec.

It was a real yawner and to a large media corporation, that is a far worse sin than offensive language.
