What? Those ‘Toxic Little Queens’ at MSNBC Don’t Want Alec Baldwin Back?

Posted on | November 20, 2013 | 51 Comments

Evil Blogger Lady calls attention to the shocking news — shocking! — that the network suits aren’t eager for a return to Baldwinism:

Alec Baldwin is not welcome back at MSNBC because of his infamous angry behavior, network insiders say — including complaining that “the air at 30 Rock is too dry.”
Sources exclusively tell us that MSNBC chiefs are not exactly falling over themselves to get boisterous Baldwin back in the building. One insider said, “He would only show up at work an hour a week to prep for the show, and when he did turn up, he was in an angry mood, red-faced, and shouting at all the staff. And he said the air at 30 Rock was too dry, it was bad for his voice, he needed a humidifier.” . . .
According to Deadline.com, Baldwin’s last show hit a demo low, pulling in only 101,000 viewers aged 25 to 54 against 395,000 total viewers — a 41 percent drop from the 172,000 viewers 25 to 54 who watched the Oct. 11 debut. MSNBC suspended Baldwin this month after he hurled an anti-gay slur at a paparazzo. He apologized, “I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words.”

Moral of the story: You can’t be an overbearing egomaniacal a–hole on TV unless you deliver good ratings.

    “What? Those ‘Toxic Little Queens’ at MSNBC Don’t Want Alec Baldwin Back?”

    What a terrible thing to say, McCain! I think you should be suspended from your blog for two weeks. Watch your language! The MSNBC Douchebags and Queens Alliance Against Defamation have lost all patience with you.

    I see that they rightfully released a statement: Mr. McCain can’t lend his support for MSNBC TV on late nights, while degrading MSNBC people in practice.

    Shame on you!

    They should fire whoever hired him too. Anyone who knows anything about Baldwin’s history, knew it was going to be a short gig.

    The gays themselves are well aware that most people (even their supporters on the Left) find homosexuals and homosexualty repugnant… “Arec Barrwin” has just publicly gone off the reservation one too many times! Now the dilemma is how best to make an example of him without spotlighting the truth about “homophobia”…

    Meanwhile… the people who are attacking Baldwin for being “homophobic” are producing and consuming videos like Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”:

    http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/robin-thickes-blurred-lines

    Calling women “bitches” is normal for people who think homosexuality is normal!

    http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/robinthicke/blurredlines.html

    The US won the Cold War to become a great sewer in terms of culture. That is very ironic. And it is a long way from hitting bottom. The more perverted, crass, and dehumanized American culture becomes, the more Americans will claim it’s all liberation and progress.

    That puts many liberals in a funny position as they reach 40 with kids. They all go: now that I have kids, I don’t want my kids consuming all this porn trash and thinking of sex this way – but **not** that there is anything wrong with porn…

    http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/30/living/robin-thicke-responsibility-miley-cyrus/

    They just can’t bring themselves to face what garbage of people they are when it comes to sexuality and normalizing everything that is perverted, deformed… and toxic.

    Work ethic is just so bourgeois anyway.

    Besides, why would a network that employs the likes of Bashir, Schultz, Hayes, Maddow, and Sharpton fire Baldwin for being an ignorant, self-important jerk? He obviously represents their target audience!
