Father Of The Year
You know, I frankly wish Alec Baldwin had carried out his much publicized threat to move to Canada. Because then maybe we wouldn't have to see quite as much of his parenting skills . I came across a reference to this on Yahoo News, but that article was, I think, somewhat sanitized.
An enraged Alec Baldwin unleashed a volcanic tirade of threats and insults on his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," and bashing her mother Kim Basinger — and TMZ has obtained the whole thing unfiltered and raw. And we've learned, a family law judge was so alarmed after hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with his child.
After Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled morning phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."
Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."
"This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."
Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow.
Lovely man. I don't really think Canada wants him, though. Nor do we. Remember this little incident the next time old Alec wants to grab media attention. This is a prime spokesman for the left. Makes you proud, doesn't it?

As much as it pains me to do so, I will defend Mr. Baldwin. These statements have been taken out of context, so there is no way of knowing the preceding and subsequent events.
Name one parent who hasn’t yelled at one of their children at least once. Who would want a private confrontation with a recalcitrant child made public fodder? Personally, I think Christina Crawford is a whiny, ungrateful bitch.
Finally, as a divorced parent, I am well aware of the tension inherent in families after the parents split up. Don’t tell me that children aren’t capable of trying to take advantage of the dynamics of broken families. His daughter may very well not pull whatever it is he thinks she is pulling on her mother. My children interact with me and my ex-wife in vastly different ways, because we are different people.
I don’t like Alec Baldwin, but I will defend his right to get pissed off at his children.

I have some moving boxes I’d gladly send to him! What a despicable p.o.s. I’d always thought badly of both Baldwin and Basinger for the ugly custody battle they waged (children, generally speaking, need BOTH parents - despite what the feminsts would like us to believe). I’m beginning to see that Basinger had the right idea! Sheesh - what a pig he is!

CNN was playing the audio. It was pretty harsh.
