Alec Baldwin Fights Off ‘60 Minutes’ Offensive With Thoughtful Age Gags

For all the career renaissance we’ve seen from Alec Baldwin over the last three or four years, not even his Golden Globe for 30 Rock overshadows his legendary turn as “Sociopathic Father” in last year’s wildly popular Web-exclusive release Thoughtless Little Pig. Even Morley Safer couldn’t stop talking about it last night on 60 Minutes; in the accompanying video, watch the “appalling” Baldwin float like a butterfly and sting like a bee under Safer’s withering sallies, punch back with word of his forthcoming book on “divorce and parental alienation” and finally score the knockout with his disarming rejoinder about a potential political career: “There’s other things I want to do. I mean, in a matter of weeks I’m going to be 50… By 60 Minutes correspondent terms, I am a young man!” Oh, Alec, you bastard. We just can’t stay mad at you. [60 Minutes]

    What Alec Baldwin said was completely right. How DARE these sanctimonious hypocrites lambaste him for what is, quite frankly, a very minor thing.

    I must say I agree with Alec. Parental Alienation can drive you insame with anger and rage. Your child is taken from you because of someone elses anger. I’m glad hes exposing the system. Its time to forgive and forget. If joe down the street said it would never have been brought up. In fact alienation happens all the time and people get away with. I would know I was the child who was alienated!!!!
