Alec Baldwin is Insane

That's right. Send a star-studded straightjacket over to Baldwin's Hollywood pad...he is certifiably nuts. Here's his "blog entry" over at HuffPo:

So, I suppose the question is...what kind of civil trial will we see, or not see, between Cheney and Whittington? Whittington is certainly no stranger to a court room and to civil litigation. Will Cheney pay him off, preemptively? Will they go to court? I would imagine if a guy with a few beers in him shoots you in the face on a hunting trip, how could you turn down that opportunity?

Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions.

Baldwin is fast becoming the left's poster boy for crazy conspiracy theories, even outpacing the once unbeatable Michael Moore. If you'll read the comments at the bottom of the post (I'm sure Baldwin himself will never read them), you'll note that many of the commenters say things like, "Cheney will pay him off privately" and "Cheney will use his power to stay out of court." There are more voices of reason than I thought, however:

How about this Alec:

Deal...

and:

Hey, Alec. Why don't you threaten to leave the country until Cheney is dragged into court? Oh, wait a minute. You already famously threatened to leave the country when Bush was elected. But you never keep your word.

For the record, I can't stand Cheney and I believe, along with most of the readers of this post, that he and the Bushies are destroying this country. However, our cause is not helped by Hollywood actors who run their mouths and then don't have the conviction to follow up on their public promises. It results in a loss of credibility, not only to you, but to the cause you are advocating. Please abstain from dabbling in politics, Mr. Baldwin. Leave it to stars like George Clooney who actually back up their words with actions.

Hmm. Not sure what George Clooney has actually done other than make conspiracy theory movies that put America in a bad light and make public comments about how patriotic he is, but I don't recall him threatening to leave the country. That ought to count for something, I guess.

My personal favorite:

Why haven't you left the country yet? Is this all you can bring to the table for discussion....this story is OVER! How about we chat about Al Gore's latest speech....or what's NOT being done by the UN around the world, or the corruption at the UN....there is so much to talk about, and yet you can't tear yourself away from the Cheney story - it's OVER you stupid liberal!!!

And, Alec, if there was a civil trial, it would pertain only to the events surrounding the shooting. Not Plamegate, Enron, or anything else you are demanding answers about.

I'd advise him to stick to acting, but plum roles have been pretty slim of late...
