Alec Baldwin: GLAAD Spokesman and Andrew Sullivan ‘Killed’ His Show

It is always interesting to watch celebrities who refuse to take personal responsibility for the actions and/or their statements comments.  Actions do have consequences, yet blaming others seems to be the preferred course of action.  Alex Baldwin is a case in point.  Don't get me wrong, the man can be entertaining and I did actually watch his MSNBC show once or twice.  But blaming others for his firing when no one made him shoot off his big mouth is juvenile at best.  He shot off his mouth and the chips need to land where they may.  Blaming GLAAD and/or Andrew Sullivan is merely a distraction from Baldwin's own bad behavior/stupidity.  The Wrap looks at Baldwin's effort to blame anyone but himself.  Here are highlights:

Former “30 Rock” star says that “the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy” helped take down his MSNBC show

Well, at least Alec Baldwin is accepting full responsibility for the demise of his MSNBC show.
Oh wait, maybe not so much….

Baldwin, whose show “Up Late With Alec Baldwin” was terminated by mutual decision on Tuesday, following a backlash over his use of a homophobic slur, told Gothamist in an interview that “the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy” — in particular, GLAAD vice president of communications Rich Ferraro and gay writer Andrew Sullivan — had “killed” his show.

While maintaining that he had not used the word “faggot” during his confrontation with a paparazzo earlier this year — Baldwin has said that he uttered “fathead” instead — the actor nonetheless singled out Ferraro and Sullivan for blame.

“[I]f I called him ‘cocksucking maggot’ or a ‘cocksucking motherfucker’… ‘faggot’ is not the word that came out of my mouth. That I know,” Baldwin said. “But you’ve got the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy — Rich Ferraro and Andrew Sullivan — they’re out there, they’ve got you. Rich Ferraro, this is probably one of his greatest triumphs. They killed my show. And I have to take some responsibility for that myself.”  Baldwin admitted via his Twitter account that he shouldn’t have used the word “cocksucker,” saying that Ferraro had told him it was an anti-gay slur.

“I consider GLAAD’s campaigns to end the Boy Scout of America’s ban on gay scouts, raise national visibility of the violence and inequality facing transgender people, and battling for marriage equality to be among my ‘greatest triumphs,’” Ferraro and GLAAD said.
