I don’t know if you want to read Alec Baldwin’s 5,000 words about why he’s leaving public life. I know I don’t, which is why USA Today was kind enough to give us the highlights:
“I loathe and despise the media in a way I did not think possible,” Baldwin writes. “This is the last time I’m going to talk about my personal life in an American publication ever again.”
He also denies that he used a homophobic slur during that infamous confrontation with the photographer. “Do you honestly believe I would give someone like TMZ’s Harvey Levin, of all people, another club to beat me with?” he writes.

Of course, Havey Levin is no friend of gun-owners, he thinks “nobody needs an assault rifle.” Really? I’m sure Matthew Sheppard could have used a tactical rifle that fateful night.
He’s angry at MSNBC, which refused to go forward with his planned talk show after the run-in with the photographer. “If MSNBC went off the air tomorrow, what difference would it make? … MSNBC, in its own way, is as … redundant and as superfluous, as Fox.”
Yeah well, liberal loyalty is short-term. Baldwin needed two things to stay at MSNBC: 1. Ratings. 2. Be PC 100% of the time. He failed at both, and thus he’s toast.
What a wonderful way to start the week, Alec’s gone, Pier’s gone, the liberals are eating their own, and I welcome the feast.
