Ugh. Just when I thought Alec Baldwin couldn't be any more repugnant...

USA Today has a very short piece about Alec and his brother Stephen, two brothers on opposite sides of the political spectrum. When USA Today asked Alec about Stephen, he gave this condescending, sneering response...

"Stephen's been fairly apolitical for a long, long time. Then he embraced a born-again Christian faith, which is very near and dear to him and very real for him. As a result of that, of course, certain operatives of the Republican Party came to him and said, 'Why don't you come on over and join our unit of spokespeople who are show business?'"

Huh, completely different from the Democrats who have never used celebrities as their mouthpieces and fund raisers. Oh wait....

I especially liked the line "he embraced a born-again Christian faith, which is very near and dear to him and very real for him.". How typical is that. It is true for you, and that is OK, as long as you don't dare suggest it is true universally. He ends by saying....

"Of course, he's going to ignore my advice as he's done throughout his life," the elder Baldwin brother said.

How dare he not walk in lockstep with you! Liberalism is all about freedom of speech and thought, as long as it agrees with liberalism.
