Baldwin on Craig - oh shut up!

Incredible as it may seem, (father of the year!) Alec Baldwin is back opining on Sen. Larry Craig on the HuffPost. Naturally, Baldwin, living proof of the clich&eacute about the intelligence of actors, seizes on this as a gay self-realization issue and completely misses the point.

But if Craig has the chance, especially now that his Republican colleagues have cut his throat, maybe he will experience a change of heart and realize that to be gay, whether he is or not, ought not be a shameful thing, let alone a crime, for anyone. Had he embraced at least that he might still be a Senator today.

Hello, Alec, this isn’t about gay rights or one’s ability to come out or not. No one gives a damn what Larry Craig does in a Holiday Inn Express. This is about having sex in a public bathroom in an airport where people bring their children. Doesn’t matter whether you’re doing it with a man, woman or a baboon. But narcissist Alec can’t get beyond his puerile argument out of 1972 with its obvious not-very-subconscious intention to highlight the eclipsed movie star as some kind of “true liberal” and not some disgusting hothead who yells insults at his daughter.
