Alec Baldwin: Weiner's just a busy, modern manAs U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner deals with the fallout from his lewd-photo debacle, Alec Baldwin is offering his take on the fiasco. In a piece on the Huffington Post, the “30 Rock” star explains that Weiner, who admitted to sexting with women outside of his marriage, is likely a busy guy who's living in a “pressure cooker of self-analysis and public appraisal” because of his chosen profession. As a result, Baldwin says, he’s got to do something “to take the edge off.” “For high functioning men like Weiner and other officials who have lived through such scandals, who are constantly on the go, that leaves one tried and true source of a reliable high,” Baldwin writes. “The affirmation that comes when someone lets you know they want to sleep with you. Or even cyber-sleep with you. This is sex for many people now.” For men like Weiner, there’s no room in the schedule for lingering over “Mateus and cheap spaghetti,” as Baldwin puts it. “No time for slowly moving toward one another with a combination of hope and caution, lust and integrity.” Enter the Internet, which, as he understands it, is not only a great tool for sharing information but also a way for us to send “our thoughts and feelings, our very spirit, over the airwaves.” He adds that “at times, as human beings, we want to attach the body to the feelings, as well. Photos of ourselves and loved ones...Photos used to sell something...Photos to find love...to find sex." Porn is available, but Baldwin says it doesn't offer what sexting does, which according to him can cause one to believe that the individual is doing whatever it is they’re doing solely for you. Weiner ran into trouble, the actor says, because he’s so busy he forgot that he's a guy who needs total confidentiality. The Congressman is "the modern, high functioning man," Baldwin says. "The fact that he is married is just one, albeit a huge, factor." “We tell ourselves that these devices help us communicate more effectively. What they actually do is allow us to bypass the person lying right next to us,” Baldwin writes. “Appointment sex with your spouse doesn't always arrive when you need it most. A modern cell phone, loaded with contacts of willing fellow players, has a table with a red checkered table cloth ready for you at virtually any time.” In the end, Baldwin concludes, Weiner is “a modern human being” who “ensnared himself in things that modern humans do.” The actor admits that he, too, made jokes about Weiner’s scandal, but that now he’s “sad for him, his family, his district and his colleagues.” And it looks like all of this talk about politics (have you seen Baldwin's Twitter feed?), may one day add up to much more than idle chatter. He told Access Hollywood on Wednesday he is open to the idea of running for mayor of New York City. “I wouldn’t rule it out,” Baldwin said. This isn’t the first time Baldwin has been interested in politics, according to an interview he did with "Playboy" magazine in 2008. "I'll put it this way," he said in response to whether he’d run. "The desire is there; that's one component. The other component is opportunity." Even if Baldwin does take advantage of the messy situation in New York, it appears he isn’t registered to vote in the city, which makes him currently ineligible to run. Of course, there's still plenty of time for Baldwin to sign up to vote before the 2013 elections. And if his recent tweets are any indicator, there’s nothing certain about his name appearing on a ballot. He wrote on Wednesday, “It's a long way till November of 2013.” |

Great website. A lot of helpful info here. I am sending it to some pals ans also sharing in delicious. And of course, thank you for your effort!
I have no problem with his personal life as long as he does a good job at his profession. The fact that he lied to everyone about it makes him a typical slimy politician.
If he said "Yeah, that was me. None of your business. I didn't do anything illegal. Lets focus on my job". I think people would have be a little more cool with it. But he lied to everyone. So that makes him a liar and we have enough liars in politics.
The texts were an accident. His finger slipped. Several times.
I think Alec is trying find a reason, like most of us, for finding a plausible explanation for Weiner's transgression. I can appreciate Alec's effort. And it is a decent attempt. However, i can not imagine my dad, my brothers or my son or even myslef doijg something like this. Therefore, 'it is not only stranger than I think, but stranger than I can think". Frankly, I wouldn't want to be around any guy who does this sort of stuff. And if you so, good luck.
Ugh, I thought Alec Baldwin's new-found popularity was a passing fad. No such luck.
Really, thats what he could come up with? Baldwin has never shown himself to be a master of maturity or discretion and should leave comments on the situation to adults. That a man of Weiner's age feels compelled to photograph his junk is pathetic but to then feel the need to distribute that photo via the internet is pathological. Weiner has shown a lack of maturity and characther that is unbecoming of a man who represents our nation in Congress – he needs to go.
I don't think Alec is saying its ok to do what weiner did but rather the way he did it is common now..over the internet. That said if you're in public office find another hobby. And to the people who do this ask yourself why...the reasons may be deeper than they appear.
He's busy so he has time to post nude pictures on Twitter?? Only in Hollywood do you come up with that logic for D.C.!!!
Anyone who has the audacity to go viral with body parts is nuts. Pardon the pun. Kick the bum to the curb. This is all sooooo stupid and sick!
No matter how you cut it or try to justify it, the man is a lier and a cheat and does not belong in congress (period). i feel sorry for his wife and that unborn baby.
Another wacky Hollywood celeb in support of this jerk. Were Weiner a Republican I feel certain he would be up in arms about the narcissitic behavior of this idiot who thinks he is above reproach. It does not matter if it's a Hollywood type or Joe Next Door who does this stupid "look at me I am a man" stuff, but it does matter if it's someone who should be held to a higher standard. He was elected to an office and is supposed to be a humble servant of the people. He spat upon their trust and faith that he was a man of substance and integrity and when caught, had the gaul to appear to take umbridge and LIE repeatedly. This is a pattern. He's perverted, and not so busy that he does not have time to work out, admire himself and make time to fulfill his "needs". He has a beautiful, hurt wife at home to boot! Forgive him...ok. But don't rehire him. He has disrespected his office, and our politician's owe us that when we give them the rare privalege of a vote. Baldwin has proven himself once again, to be an idiot of epic proportions.
AGREED! And Baldwin is just as much an idiot with his verbal abuse of his wife and then his young daughter. But he's "Hollywood" so that's ok – not for me, I've boycotted everything this fat slob is in.
We have written a special song for this occassion.
"Like a bridge over troubled weiners
You can hump my butt
Like a bridge over troubled weiners
I will blow your schlong...."
Baldwin is a Weiner toucher.
Married. Don't post photos of my junk. Wouldn't vote for anyone that stupid.
Baldwin is just hedging and worried about the Weiner/Baldwin male on male love fest makeing the wires.
Yeah, like anyone's going to take any kind advice from the king of dysfunction Alec Baldwin.
Unfortunately, they will take his advice and those of his like-minded ilk. Look at the poll numbers that support his staying in office! Quick, someone test the drinking water in his district for lead contamination.
Oh hell yes, Bring on Sarah's snappper, I bet Newtie boy would like that too, Come to think of it, wouldn't newt and the mama grizzly make a hell of a team. when Sarah saw gingrich's grizzled newt she could do a lot of smiling and show her Ipana smile a lot.
I would absolutely support pics of Sarahs barrac00dah rocketing around the web at high speed and I lean somewhat left of center. If she made it the foundation of her campaign I might actually vote for her.
Baldwin is a weiner for this lame excuse. I bet he would not be so defensive it it had been a Republican. Tell us Alec: would you likewise excuse it as a "busy, modern woman" if Sarah Palin had exposed her private parts?
Alec Baldwin is an American hero who always tells the truth. There was some tongue-in-cheek going on here, too.
Shweaty balls and Wiener!!!!
I see a bunch of conservative hypocrites here.
The point is not that other people do it all the time. Most people don't hold public office. Plenty of people shoplift but if a police officer does it, he gets fired. Wrong is wrong even if half the population does it. This guy holds public office and is married. He needs to start acting like it.
And may God help New York if Alec Baldwin becomes mayor. Just another Hollywood a**hole with no clue who thinks he has the answers to the worlds problems. No wonder everyone hates us.
Not in any way an endorsement of Mr. Baldwin's views on this matter. As a matter of fact, I disagree. But in this age of PC say one thing do another, I find his openness refreshing. There are still a few people left in America who have the balls to say what they think.
It's all really about narcisissm. The Congressman is probably trying to feed his narcisissm every time he engages in aberrant behavior on the Internet. Alec Baldwin, I'm sure, has a heavy dose of it too. While it's not a crime, it usually comes with poor moral restraints in order to feed it. I hope Mr. Weiner gets good help, but to indicate that he should get a pass for his behavior is saying that we should tolerate everyone's immorality, as long as it doesn't interfere with their job!
First up, Alec Baldwin needs to stick with his writers. Second, Wiener's problem isn't that he has a unique private life, as much as he lacks good judgement in this modern age.
Neither should CEO's or any person that was a board member to a company that would benefit from having a person in a political position. In fact I would say that is more of an issue than an actor going into politics.
They are blowing this way out of proportion. He was sending nude pictures. Who cares I've seen worse.
ken your a racist arent you?
Wow. And this moron thinks he's Presidential material? LOL! What a delusional imbecile and what an abject HYPOCRITE. Gee, I wonder if he would go to such extreme lengths of rationalization if Weiner were a conservative Republican?
i dont agree with the wiener or baldwin....and yes its been done over the centuries in many cultures, but it not right, esp to but it on public display...and hes a wiener to think itd b kept private.....he has self esteem issuses.....there are also other ways to relieve the stress.....and why is a woman messing with idiots like these....
Oh please. Alec Baldwin? Who gives a crap what this idiot says? He's so full of himself. And he is sooo overrated.
Me lik my weener,no like your weiner
I'll never be the same since I saw the photo of the dudes junk. That guy is a crazy ba$tard. Alec Balwin is a funny mutha just being funny.
Alec,stay out of politics and public view altogether...would you? You're frankly embarrasing...you're a looser in all aspects of life, just don't make the political a worse comedy than what it already is...pls do us all a big favor!
He is a bigger fool than weiner
Judging from the comments I did read most of you probably are sheep that dont think but react and go along with the mob mentality. Mr Baldwin shed some very interesting light on an aspect of human nature in this cyber world that many people are afraid or refuse to admit.
I've said this everytime, if no laws were broken, let the voters decide, not the media or a select few with power. If laws have been broken, he must go!!
And to the person who says we'd flip over a republican doing the same thing, OBVIOUSLY. Most republicans are religious. Putting their religious morals at the forefront of their political arguments. You get caught cheating, you are obviously NOT a person of god, and we put your bulls**t on blast. End of story.
Alec Baldwin's comments were thought out, well said, clear and articulate, with a touch of satire thrown in. But if you're not open to such things, you will simply huff and grunt and do what you know: call names. Open up your worlds a tiny bit. It's a big place out there. Thanks for the point of view, Alec. I agree with you.
I back the Weiner. And Alec has a perfectly reasonable psych standpoint on it. Truly, either way, Weiner's personal life has absolutely no backing to what I love about him politically. Nor will it change that fact. Sure, sucks for Huma, but Get with it. People get cheated on all the time. It generally has nothing to do with politics. GET OVER IT, PEOPLE.
love to hear what he has to excuse about tracy morgan's debacle
Interesting how responders who appear intelligent and articulate appreciate or are open to the possibility of Baldwin's view. Others use short answers filled with name- calling which evidence their lack of analytical ability, communication skills and experience outside their limited mundane world.
And Baldwin's just a blowhard Neanderthal.
What kind of moronic, asinine rationalization is that. Goes to show just how full of themselves and clueless these vacuous Hollywood boobs are.
He should have shown that same level of kindness & understanding to his daughter in that voicemail he left several years ago.
This guy is a little creepy if you ask me. He just looks wierd. How can anyone trust him after his blatent lies? Sucks to be him. This is no Tiger Woods situation though. At least Tiger really banged the ladies.
Baldwin is an entertainer. Who is he to think anyone cares what he thinks about current affairs???
Alec Baldwin knows first-hand about everything he's talking about here.
Who r u talking to?
Yeah, love Alec Baldwin's rationale! Love how its alright for a liberal loon to 'let off steam' but when and if a Republican did this, Alec Baldwin would no doubt be squawking to have the person tarred and feathered and run out on the rail!!
Just like someone mentioned above: BALDWIN IS A WIENER!!
Weiner is a "busy, modern man," who for likely the reason of the bad boy syndrome is attractive to precisely the types of women who need to find the inner strength to walk away. Every exhibitionist needs an audience: remove the audience.
It's not like the voters had a clue at the time he was elected. And the only poll they have done since was limited to a select group.
Baldwinning, duh!
My guess is like his wife was fooled so were his votes!
Not a very flattering photo, Alec. Maybe you will make it as a fat cat politician.
Our country is in sad shape if everyone has the morals of Weiner and Baldwin. One nation, under God. Wonder what God thinks about this mess?
“a modern human being” who “ensnared himself in things that modern humans do.”
which doesn't nor should it excuse away the responsibility of being so thoroughly modern...
and being American alllows the opportunity for people to run [for office] regardless of whether other Americans think they should or not...the 'vote' is the ultimate decider, not the opinion..
Alec just spoke the truth. Like it or not.
Alec just wants to hold that weiner!
Who gives 2 cents what this bloated, narcissistic, psychopath says thinks or does. He has OVER stretched his 15 mins of hollywood lame fame for far too long. Yawn....n snort big piiggy all the way home.
from one weiner to another. lol
He is a busy modern pervert.
Go baldwin!
Funny that Alec Baldwin would dare to comment on such things.... During a visit to my hometown of Reno in 2003 to work on the movie the Cooler, rumor has it he picked up, and slept with, a young girl from a local bagel shop (albeit an extremely cute one) ... Whether the rumor is true is hard to say, but in this town its generally taken as being so.... The bottom line is, people in power, like mr Baldwin, and Mr Weiner.... think they can do anything, that no one else matters... Then when they get caught, we're supposed to feel bad for them as they lie, then apologize once exposed.... These are our leaders! What a ridiculous example they set :{
This is such bs. Just another excuse to do the wrong thing & a typical narcissist.
Alec, Weiner's is going to Therapy, why not give it a try yourself. Couldn't hurt although at your age I don't think it would do much good since neither of you have grown up yet!
It's all so wonderfully ironic. A liberal standing up for another liberal. Kinda like lard praising margarine.
Weiner – AND his weener – should resign. What a fool, he needs to get some self respect, and start showing some respect for his wife, that poor woman!
Alec should stick to acting and let someone else write his lines for him!
Its Satan's fault. HE makes people do bad things.
what an idiot defending an idiot
And what credibility, exactly, does Alec Baldwin Have. Because he has been so successful in his own personal life? NOT! What it is is instant gratification - and in the end that ALWAYS destroys the soul!
Y is it when a democrate screws up we r banashed to the wasteland... but when its a pubbie they're promoite to being next to god. .. some people need to clean out ur closets the pubbies like gingrich better get over their selves.
Alec has a brass weiner. It takes guts to speak this level of truth, right or wrong! So SUCK it complainers!
Modern man equals neanderthal – at least that's the picture given here. Liberal or not, it's still wrong on so many levels.
No self control = modern man interesting? Seems dizzyd is correct, to people like them a cell phone is one step from clubbing a girl and dragging her back to your cave. What ever happened to morals? They are pieces of crap, wiener should resign. Anyone who would vote for alec is dumber than a box of rocks.
He is right and a vert smart man...that was excellent psychoanalysis in my opinion
HAHA! You people do realize the piece is written with a great deal of sarcasm and dry satire. WoW
Men who behave badly making excuses for other badly behaving men. That ISN'T modern...it's as old as the first cavemen...
Hey Alec you just made yourself the next Oprah!
Alec Baldwin is a great man. He's provided entertaient for us for decades and his opinion deserves reapect. I would vote for him and I bet he could be governor or president someday. People should be nicer and just listen to his words.
...and people like you scare the hell out of the rest of us. What planet do you come from? His "opinion" is that of a far left whack job the could care less about anything but himself and his twisted view of morality. Oh wait – that's a bad word to all you politically correct "progressives"! Did I hurt your feelings?? I'm sooooooo sorrrrrrrry ...
Jenifer, he it's an actor, he only entertains because of a script, being able to read and say it out loud is not a back breaking job. Alec is an idiot "personaly". Entertaining isn't rocket science. Think back to school who was the class clown? The Only kid entertaining but he was always one of the less intelligent kids. Doesn't take much to entertain. But it does to have character, alec and wiener are,two peas in. a pod. And neither have any character or morals. They are nothing but p.o.s!
I hope to God you are being facitious and sarcastic. I would hate to think you really believe what you just said. If you did mean it, I feel so sorry for you.
The reason I fell for my boyfriend is because for two years before I met every gut I'd meet would send me a picture of his penis, I asked my mom what was up with that, and she said that there is a thirteen year old boy in all men no matter how smart,accomplished,talented or mature they seem to be, that kid is lurking some where inside waiting on that opportunity to arrive. My currant dude's never shown me that childish behavior that's why I love him so much.
Really Alec? Glad you have scriptwriters or 30 Rock would be quite lame.
Well Mr. Baldwin...will you change your mind now that the 17 year old has come to light....or is that him letting off some aggregation...from his job too? How old are you Kids?
I will never see you again in a pic w/o remdmbering what a misguided immuature person you must be and to have Congressman who behaves like he did would cause me to distrust him vehimently!
Baldwin once again defines "liberalism" in all of its glory: anything goes, no rules, no decency, no consequence, no responsibility – PATHETIC
I find when poeple try to justify someone elses evil it is usually to justify self!
MODERN MAN! MY BUTT! IT'S ONE OF THE OLDEST GAMES ON THE BOOKS! I AM ASHAMED OF YOU ALEC! I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE SUCH A CREEP!
Baldwin has Weiner envy.
Well written and it makes incredible sense. It is the modern way. I may not approve, but I think I can understand why now.
Baldwin can make all the excuses he wants for power hungry bad boys who think they are above moral reproach. How many female officials... who are just as busy in this modern world... Get exposed for exposing themselves to 'blow off steam?' all bad boys stick together and defend the bad behavior. Baldwin acts like this should be expected
from any man with a stressful job!?? Do you
speak from experience Alec? Are you letting us know in advance that if end up in the white house we should expect 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., to become the new WA red light district? After all, the president has such a stressful job! Isnt that why they have white house aides? Oh Monica, where are you?
Lowe ski?
Very shocked that he said something insightful to any degree.
I didn't think Baldwin could be that insightful.
baldwin and weiner seem to be a lot alike from what i make of baldwins statement about weiner. scary ain't it ?
I guess we know what Alec Baldwin does in his spare time now.
This from a knob who's career peaked with beetlejuice what a stain
Weiner is a Neanderthal, not a modern man... Anyone giving in to impulses just because he's under pressure of public opinion should quit their job and find something to do that they can actually handle!
Get a life "critical of Baldwin peopl" – Alec is just stating the facts of life – like it or not.....
I just wish the media would move on to more important issues. I find the constant gossip/scandal news to be so distracting. People in this country are ignorant about so many things both here and abroad and while I realize it's more entertaining to talk about weiners and anti-gay lawmakers turning out to be gay – the reality is that none of this changes our current or future state of affairs. We need more news and less entertainment. Ratings may go down, but the number of informed voters would go up which would be marvelous.
Fantasy world statement. Since Walter Cronkite newsmen have always wanted to be more important than the news, just as influential as a world and basically famous. That means we don't get news, we get a series of opinions and reports on what's hot and selling tickets.
@ All Posters – The more I see of "Modern Male" behavior... the more convinced I am that being male is a disability. FACE IT: there is nothing noble or "high functioning" in blasting dick pics around the net when you are a newlywed of 11 MONTHS to a beautiful woman, brilliant woman, who is carrying your child and working in a VERY high-powered position of her own. Women do not – in general – behave this way.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I can only assume you were being facetious considering all the naked-in-front-of-bathroom-mirror self-shots of women I see floating around the web.
What a nasty piece of work Baldwin is. Hard to believe Stephen is his brother.
Weiner needs to be roasted and tossed to the dogs. Politics shouldn't be a chosen profession, but a necessary evil performed by people with real jobs serving their country for a short while.
well if he runs, other than his actor counterparts, he has a political science degree in his background, idk if arnie it ventura had some education, but atleast he is an educated man, despite his point of views! or mistakes
you are kidding , right? he is indicative of the new man with too much pressure. It tells me what kind of life you live and what your reallity is. Poor Dude, success isn't enough for him, got to make it more exciting... well that is personal, I guess and he made a choice, bad one. Where is the accountability these days? I am a liberal and it is just starting to be a little too much for me.
Suzi
I just sent my girl a pic of my hard c0ck a couple hours ago yo.
Yeah, I just sent your girl a pic of my stiff one, too. Grow up!
Baldwin is right. Anyone who disagrees with these statements is clearly oblivious, or religious ( same thing)
So "religion" is deviant and Weiner, Baldwin and the liberal cesspool is good? Go figure...
Hey unity 2011, he's an ELECTED OFFICIAL! He owes everything to us!
Well said by Mr. Baldwin. However...I don't simply see him to be a good fit as a NY Mayor.
Take the edge off...C'mon man....Race motorcycles,wrestle gators,skydive,hunt and support your pregnant wife. Alec you lost yours a long time ago.
Oh! He lost his edge...I was thinking you meant he lost his weiner. Silly me!
baldwin just likes weiners
I wonder if wiener was that kid everyone picked last to be on a team...I mean....his name is wiener...for goodness sake....its so funny. Looser!
Once again Baldwin shows he has no ethics, no shame and no sense when it comes to shilling for the left. Good going, Skippy. Who do you want to defend next?
Really AJ? "When you are famous you have to keep it in check?" Are you kidding me? How about when you are married you need to keep it in check. The Congressman's actions were wrong first because he is a married man and second because he is a Congressman.
And what stereotype would that be?
Alec, thank you so much for choosing to play politics instead of practicing Scientology. You keep me entertained even off camera.
The best part is the media headlines, who cares what celeb's say they are as big of nitwits as politicians . Is anyone shocked any more when this kind of stuff is found out and made public . Arnold, Charlie , Weiner, Bill and Monica , Farve , Rkelly the list is endless . Entertainers , politicians and athletes for the most part live in lala land. Servants , staff,PR people , trainers, everyone thinks they are royalty.
Now back to headlines . " Pressure builds in Weiner scandle " , " New twist in Weiner case" , " Weiner squeezed for answers" ," Weiner explodes at press conference"," Weiner balls eyes out during apology", " Weiners hard on himself for lie". Hahahahahahahahahahaha. IDIOT'S ! All of 'em.
The big question is why does Alec have a column in the Huffington Post, is the paper really that desperate for writers? if so I'm available.
I'LL co-author with you. I'm a local celebrity with an opinion about everything. I'm qualified.
Really Susan? If this was about Sarah Palin you all would have been judge, jury and executioner. I have an idea, let's just blame the Bush administration!
he was in contact with a 17 year old! check FOX out now rewind all those previous comments and see how libs willstill defend this!
Alec be liking that jig-a-boo Weiner. Alec just go F yourself with Weiner. Sausagefest.
a modern high funtioning man. good lord! you cant make this stuff up! hahaha the left trying to defend the left! incredible! no just predictable
Anybody who marries Kim then screws it up has no sympathy from me.
Another thing alec you child abuser you, he might be a modern pervert but he is not a man- just cause he has the genitalia of a man does not make him one, he is a coward pervert that prays on the innocent on the web and justifies by using his office, worst pervert and a hypocrite- so again F u alec-
Here, here.
Ever have Jewish weiner in the can? Come on over to my place, and bend over. -Art
Now he just needs Charlie Sheen's endorsement and he'll be fine.
Alec Baldwin just wanted to reach out to Weiner...or was that Neil Patrick Harris, I forget.
F you alec- the weiner is a degenerate perv and as an elected official has no excuses and should ans must resign
"Weiner's just a busy, modern man"
No he's not. He's a neanderthal that knows how to text.
Alec, what behavior of yours are you trying to justify by Whining Wiener Wiener's actions?
Bad week for Alec,Tracy, and Weiner.
Alec Baldwin is a smart man.
I'm not seeing that.
Alex Baldwin is very eloquent.
I agree. And he is correct in his view. Many people send photos. People are looking for attention. And the more stressed you are the more you might be looking. Feel sorry for his wife. Thats for them to work out though.
God bless the Internet. Where else can idiots like most of you on this comment board come out and give your worthless, hypocritical opinions while sitting at home doing worse things behind your significant others than weiner or Baldwin combined? It's easy to judge when no one knows who you are, huh?
And what idiots, like you, hang out reading posts written by idiots like us and then complain about it? Only idiots do.
Aduh I agree with u and well said ... small minded people think small
@Fernace..Well well well look who has pics on her phone that she doesn't want the world to see, little miss goody two shoe..lol. How about you send them to me hun? After all what's with a little horse play. Send them to 1-800-EDisHuNG. Maybe I might be able to spl!t u some more or maybe you are already loose enough 4 fist . I know im disgussing but you started it cupcake
Satire, anyone?
It will be a shame if this man with no values, morals, education, intelligence and integrity gets elected to public office. He is arrogant and a liar too. If he was a man of his words, he should have been living outside the USA at this time. He made a false public statement to the effct that he will leave this country if Bush was re-elected. Somebody, buy this creep a one-way ticket to timbaktu. Please!!
Paha he owes u nothing and u all are so critical amd judgmental ... he without sin let him cast the first stone... we're all sinners
Weiner loves jig-a-boos! Weiner loves jig-a-boos! Weiner loves jig-a-boos!!
You are the one that would be the quiet ass standing in the corner, drunk and alone. White boys of today talk nonsense behind fake online names and would never have the balls to be out front with their racism. I can respect your stinking grandparents. At least they could call you bigger and look at you. You are a pig, like the people in your family tree. Your speech shows what your pig mother taught you.
Alec Baldwin, everyone's role model. Thank you Alec.
Resign.
Has Alec verbally assaulted and berated any children lately?
Had this been a conservative, Baldwin would be blasting him.
Simply amazing Alec.
And Baldwin wants to be NYC mayor?? Did I miss something??
This coming from a man that cursed out his small child!! I guess Alec was stressed out that day, too!! This is one dumb a$$ taking up for another dumb a$$- nothing more. To all of you who believe Alec's infinite wisdom... Please don't send me me pics of your old penises or curse out your kids!!
Baldwin, I can't believe what you are saying.
What you fail to realize is that most Americans don't issue lewd tweets. Obviously something went wrong in the case of Weiner, and it concerns me that media figures craft explanations for this kind of behavior that is as deplorable as it is unnecessary. No wonder other countries are laughing at America these days. Sad.
Weiner is so freaking creepy looking. His wife is anorexic and scary. What a couple ! Yikes! He shoudl do some freaking work for the public that elected him. No wonder Congress never gets anything done. Guys like him are taking weiner pictures.
You're right about Congress!! Who wants to see Charlie Rangel's penis? I can't wait!!!
Alec Baldwin makes sense & speaks the truth. It is a socially accepted form of communication & courting to send risque' pics of oneself to the person you want to hook up with, in either the real or virtual world! I have pics rite now on my phone that I would not want the world to see, out of respect for the person who sent them! I think we are way too puritanical about nudity & s??ual matters & also a bit hypocritical in our judgement. Getting caught & lying to cover your butt is a human response. Weiner should not have forgotten his very public life when s??ting & sending pics, but the person most hurt here is his wife! Otherwise it is a minor incident compared to, for ex. supporting anti-gay mandates, but living in the closet, & being married at the same time!!
hey alec, where's kim?
Nice ! LOL !!
Something tells me ballwin didn't express the same sentiment when a republican is caught in a scandal. His opinion means less than nothing.
As long as as Mr Weiner do his job !to the people thats all important!his action and personal life just leave him alone like ordinary person who cares!some people worse than him! everyone have a secret!
Mr. Baldwin is lost! I pray someone reaches him and he turns his life around. His comments can and most likely will give someone just the push they need to do something stupid and damaging to their life. Sometimes it's just better not to say anything, rather than say something that could cause a person teetering on the edge to do something they'll regret. Mr. Baldwin needs to learn some restraint.
I agree. We all need to be responsible. How many marriages will Mr. Baldwin's comment help end? It's very sad.
Real men have restraint. So do real women.
SNL will now cast him to repeat doing his 'Schwetty Wiener' skit.
...Oh, Alec, you should do PR...
If he runs for office, I wonder how many times we will get to hear the "highly functioning" voice mail he left for his daughter a few years ago.
Hi there peace! I thought you went looking for hair for Captain America. Have you heard he is losing his hair?Nice to see you back.
Alec Baldwin, are you serious? The guy is a lying, cheating pervert. There are no excuses. Real men don't take pictures of their privates and send them to random women. Real men don't lie when getting caught with their pants down, they fess up. Modern and busy or not. And besides Alec, didn't you promise to leave the country when Bush was re-elected? More lies.
No one should be photographing their privates. End of story.
Actually, the only thing that makes someone a "real man" is a penis.
I knew if I stopped back here I would see you, BV. I've been working my behind off & a day of pampering sounds great! Any-hoo, everyone have good weekend & chat w/ya later!
Baldwin's thoughtful analysis of a "modern, busy and highly functioning man" such as Mr. Weiner's case invites us again to contemplate the fast communication and high tech society we live in. As cliche as it may be, technology can help save our life or can destroy us if not being used wisely. It has been known with Mr. Weiner's that not only he was not wise but also he didn't exercise any moral restraint. His scandal is shocking and laughable but its impact is hurtful and sad.
While I admit, it's easy to be cynical these days, I happen to think Alec Baldwin is very articulate and his comments really make sense. No one is perfect–not even Alec. He certainly knows what it's like to be pushed over the edge (his voice message to his daughter) and have it made public. Nevertheless he's right when he says there is a disconnect between real life and what happens online. It's sad that the unreality has become the "norm". It's desensitizing and that's a dangerous thing.
There is no disconnect in taking pictures of your penis and sending them to random women. It is very connected to perverted behavior.
I agree with you and women does this all yje time... if more people we honest wit themselves than they would see themselves I weiner
@Peace..hey b**** where the hell have you been hiding yourself..lol? Missed you on here. You should treat yourself to a spa day and get pampered in style with a nice relaxing massage 🙂 . Well catch up with you later. Hi to you also Mad! You guys enjoy your day 🙂
Do you folks not understand satire.
Satire is meant to be humorous. Nothing Baldwin said was funny. It was disgusting.
I agree. I get very stressed & like to toss one to a housekeeper every now & then.
But that results in ugly bas.tard children ..
Mad, Tough week. Burned candle at both ends, as they say. One more week of it & it's back to normal. So worth every aching muscle in my body, though! Hi to all! C-ya next week!
Once again, the gay agenda gets pushed onto the front page of G N N...day after day, story after story. Gay issues are obviously the most pressing stories of our time. Forget the Arab Spring (boring!), we need to know how gay children are being treated by this hom o phobic, oppressive American society full of bigots and haters! Front page. Every. Single. Day.
Undercover dick smuggler!
i may be a cow, but at least im not a weiner !
His wife is a dang weiner toucher !
He just wants to rub on conressman weiner. Everyone knows him and that daily show guy like them weiners.
Baldwin likes to juggle his own doookie logs.
Mr. Baldwin,
It sounds like you've had some experience in this area by the "excuses" you are making for Anthony Weiner. You better watch out .... rumor has it that you may be planning a run for Mayor of New York City. What will the media dig up on you?????
There should be a law ........Movie stars, TV personalities and Actors
should not be permitted to run for political office. PERIOD !!
We have enough actors already in Washington......
Politicians should not be permitted to run for political office.
Oh really? Then while that law is being enforced, let's add 'bimbo beauty queens' (Palin, Bachman) to the list, since they obviously have more air in their heads than a balloon and probably less of an education than many of the actors that run. At least Baldwin got a degree in Political Science from George Washington University in DC. Isn't Palin's in journalism? Probably one of the most common degrees out there (along with Mass Communication).
I stand corrected. While he went to GWU for poli sci, he didn't graduate before transferring to NYU and pursuing acting. Sorry for the screw on on that. I'd still vote for him over Palin or Bachmann any day of the week!
Well, then Clint Eastwood shouldn't have run, or Ronald Reagan, or Jerry Springer, or Jesse Ventura or others you can list that have run and done well. Heck, Sonny Bono even did well, and Shirley Temple Black did too! It's not the actor/actress part of the person or the tv personality part that ends badly. It's the overall package, and TV/actor/actress parts are just too minimal in the percentage to even consider a reason to not run.
Politics and entertainment are one and the same type of media. It requires candidates who have megalomaniac behavior and the ability to fool people. To act is to take on any personality as the politicians do. They tell us what we want to hear so they may get elected. They then have power and they do what they want. We are left in the dust. There are no honest politicians. If they were, people would not vote for them. They would not be charismatic enough. A sad reality.
Bachman has a law degree Gro-tard...
Call me crazy but I thought we had to vote politicians in. Heck carrottop could run but if we vote him in who is the idiot?
And you shouldn't be allowed to breed. Life ain't fair when you're making blanket judgments, is it?
Hey Mad! If he runs for mayor, do you think anyone would vote for him? Good day to ya!
Welcome back, Peace! He might do okay, if arnie and ventura can get in I'd say there's hope for anyone.
I like him on 30 Rock but whenever he speaks outside of there it's like being tortured with words.
Another Hollywood personality with no morals and no integrity. Who cares?
Baldwin is a Weiner.
I think he makes some valid points. Weiner did something that millions of others do or will do...flirt using their cell phone. Sure, he's married and that is bad, but we are not privey to the details of his relationship so maybe we shouldn't be so judgemental.
Andy, millions of others will take pictures of their penises and send them to strangers? I think not.
Weiner is a Baldwin.
I agree. He does make some valid points. And yes, millions more will photograph their own genitalia and email it to others. If y'all think that it's only high powered politicians who do it, then simply continue to keep your heads buried in the sand. They're just the only ones getting caught and having it publicized.
I'd like to make a point here, but I can't figure out what we are talking about.
Another blogger who cannot think beyond shallow stereotypes – who cares? And you apparently cared enough to read the article and comment.
Baldwin is an Idiot. Always has been, always will be.
What does he mean by modern? that he can expose himself on the net ? Please....that is not modernity...If Baldwin qualifies for something, it is not character evaluation. Who screams on the phone calling his daughter a pig ? another modern man?
Alec is one smart alec. A postmodern man, true to himself and his b...s! You have my support and my vote.
'More excuses', actually there is a lot more of that going on than you apparently realize. It is very very common. Good? I guess it depends on who you are if you want that type of thing or not.
You say another Hollywood personality with no morals. Congress is asking for him to resign. My question to them is why they didn't ask Bill Clinton to resign when he did what he did with Monica, which is far worse than what this politician has done. They impeached Clinton but didn't follow through to remove him from office. Morals in a politician's life wasn't always there. They have hid everything forever. Recently they have been on the spotlight of scandals just as the entertainers of our country.
Shweaty balls and Wiener!
It takes a weiner to understand Weiner
