I thought Derb had it locked up. I can...Believe me. I thought Derb had it locked up. I cannot believe anybody else could surpass that level of dickitude...<BR/><BR/>I, too, was enraged. I left feisty commentary at Cole's place, but was actuallly unable to get my head around what to write here about it.<BR/><BR/>But Derbyshire is an asshole by trade ( he IS a rightie pundit) and the possibility that he was just doing it to be provoocative cannot be dismissed. No excuse, mind you, especially so early on.<BR/><BR/>I found his comments offensive and personally entaging, but he was just spouting off, albiet in a public forum, about people he didn't know and a situation he clearly knew even less about. (God, the more I type this the more I think I made a mistake). People affected by the tragedy might have been offended, but Derbyshire is an easily dismissed blowhard with no impact on your personal lives.<BR/><BR/>Baldwin, however, hit closer to home for me. Over the last few weeks I've actually spent time with my neice of the same age and she was vividly in my mind as I listened to Baldwin and it was crystal clear how devastating something like that would be to a growing child to hear that kind of abuse from a parent. Sure there are worse parents and worse abuses in the world, and she is likely numb to that shit from that asshole, but still, no eleven year old should be subject to that, and at the end of the day, Baldwin (and probably Basinger) are ruining the life an innocent girl.<BR/><BR/>That's worse than Derbshire.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-44464385717045322532007-04-23T06:17:00.000-05:002007-04-23T06:17:00.000-05:00Based on what you've said, I simply can't listen t...Based on what you've said, I simply <I>can't</I> listen to Baldwin's voicemail. Just can't. Like you, I agree with his politics, and he's a pretty good actor. But based on what I've seen of him on talk shows, etc, I've never liked him. This cements it for me.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, I think Derbyshire HAS to win DOW. I cannot fucking believe he said that. I swear to you, I was enraged while I read it. Enraged!!! I'm not sure I've ever wanted the chance to go one-on-one with an asshat pundit, and <I>beat the shit out of him</I>, more than I do with this guy.<BR/><BR/>Wow.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398931203483061703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-33021667471967229262007-04-21T02:28:00.000-05:002007-04-21T02:28:00.000-05:00You're right about how inexcusable Baldwin's outbu...You're right about how inexcusable Baldwin's outburst is. I thought he was smarter than that.<BR/><BR/>At the same time, I have to wonder how his daughter's voicemail "found its way" to Youtube. I suspect it had help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
