i like alec baldwin for a couple of reasons. one, he's incredibly talented. two, his mistakes are impulsive, but they're not malicious. these are emotional reactions to stress. that doesn't make him a bad person, and his anger is not about us. it's about feeling betrayed by the left. the pain and suffering he's getting is not from conservatives. it's from the left eating their own. it's the pc police that went after him for perceived slurs. i don't believe those are slurs. those are what's called fighting words. when you get mad, you say things. i don't believe he's a homophobe. and he is just -- went through what a lot of conservatives have gone through, and i actually salute him and i wish him well. >> okay, andrea, do you cut him the same amount of slack? by the way, he took shots at msnbc, shots at a lot of people you would think would be at least friendly. >> yeah, he said rachel maddow was a phony. and a geek. and i completely disagree. rachel maddow has come out of the closet instead of alec baldwin, who i believe lets his homophobic ways sneak out in
