Alec Baldwin Is A Psychotic Narcissist


Alec Baldwin has been all over the US press recently, whining about how hard his life is, how he wanted to commit suicide after a private rant at his daughter was leaked to the media and how his beloved TV show '30 Rock' is under-valued by studio bosses (he even refers to TV executives treating the show like "A red headed stepchild").

One man with little sympathy for Alec is Greg Garcia, creator of much-superior show 'My Name Is Earl' who has highlighted his divine writing skills by penning one of the better put downs to Baldwin since 'Team America'.

"Maybe the reason enough people aren’t watching 30 Rock to make Mr. Baldwin happy is because Alec Baldwin is so unlikable as a person. 30 Rock is a really funny show. And Alec Baldwin is funny as long as someone else is writing his words. When left to his own devices, he sounds like a psychotic narcissist who whines about being rich.”


Ouch! To be fair, Alec has been quite uninspiring in some movies as well ('The Shadow' anyone?). Greg (who is fast becoming a personal favourite) wasn't done yet though…


"Instead of blaming NBC, I think Alec should consider that some people in America may not want to watch a man who cusses out his own 11 year old daughter on a phone message, calling her a “rude thoughtless little pig.” It’s a shame that the people who produce such a funny show have to put up with such a distasteful man on a daily basis.”


Let's see if Alec can come up with an equally scathing reply by himself or if he needs a team of writers to do it for him.

This was last week.

Well, Alec proved that he won't be bullied (though is more than happy to rant at his daughter and call her "A rude thoughtless little pig") and responded wittily, asking Garcia a list of questions about Scientology with a wry smile.

Alec made the classic mistake of thinking that just because some of the stars of 'My Name Is Earl' are Scientologists, the creator of the show must be as well.

Wrong. Garcia decided to reply via Gawker.com and didn't hold back on the sarcasm and the vitriol. Again.


"Alec, I can't tell you how happy I am to once again point out that you are an idiot. I'm unable to answer your question about Scientologists because, although I respect anyone's right to their own beliefs, I am not currently nor have I ever been a Scientologist. Maybe you should have done some research that extended past the comments section of Defamer before you crafted your insult."


Ouch again.


"If you choose to attack me again may I suggest something witty about me creating the show ‘Yes Dear’ or just simply a joke about the fact that I’m bald. Both true…Good luck with the Emmys and don’t forget to tune in for the one hour season premiere of My Name is Earl September 25th."


Now that is some Grade-A patronising and sure to infuriate Alec even more. Let's hope this is the end of the matter though, as it's hardly an even contest, is it? It's more like watching a martial arts expert repeatedly kicking a puppy in the face.



Holy Moly
