Alec Baldwin Rips Democrats for Failing to Filibuster Alito

The Hollywood left is a fun bunch.  As if actor Alec Baldwin didn't have enough to worry about with the new court documents filed by ex-wife Kim Basinger, Baldwin is now dishing political advice to Dems on the way they bungled the filibuster of new Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

The actor ripped into Senate Dems with a profanity laced tirade.

The problem is there are too many "chicken-blank" Democrats in the Senate," the agitated actor told the New York Daily News.

"We have a bunch of budding Zell Millers down there," he complained, referring to the Georgia Democrat who backed President Bush in the 2004 election.

Turning his ire towards Miller, Baldwin explained: "I loathe and despise him on a daily basis."

I'm guessing Zell Miller wears that as a badge of honor.

Newsmax reports that Baldwin's profanity-laced outburst followed comments Tuesday by National Organization for Women chief Kim Gandy, who exploded in over "right wing" claims that Alito is no extremist.

"That is such b - - lsh - t!" the foul-mouthed feminist fumed to radio host Steve Malzberg.

Actress Meryl Streep did better at containing her Alito rage, lamenting to the News: "I'm so demoralized."

Is this irony? 

The reason Democrats struggle with nationwide elections is that they try to appease these left-wing fringe types. 

Now they are the first ones to whine when some Democrats realize that pandering to the Alec Baldwin's of the world is what put them into the minority.
