Just saw a report that Alec Baldwin<\/strong> was tossed off a plane for refusing to stop playing a game on his cell phone.<\/p>\n

It’s just another instance of him refusing to play by the rules and behave himself.<\/p>\n

It’s gotten really old … and he’s getting old! It’s time for the 30 Rock<\/em> star to start learning how to act … in real life.<\/p>\n

I actually felt bad for the radical left-winger when tapes of him berating his daughter were made public a few years back.<\/p>\n

Those types of family things are private, or should be, and no one is perfect.<\/p>\n

But Alec Baldwin, as successful, talented and funny as he can be, asks for trouble.<\/p>\n

The Capital One<\/em> ads, where he spoofs himself, are really no spoof. This guy acts like the world is his oyster and he’ll flick the empty shells wherever he darn well pleases.<\/p>\n

The act is getting VERY old Alec … your brother Stephen Baldwin<\/em> may not have as successful a career as you but he is pursuing something far more important:<\/p>\n

The Lord.<\/p>\n

It might not be a bad idea if you humbled yourself to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
