New York Post:
Baldwin was aboard AA Flight 4, which was delayed an hour, when the “30 Rock” star was booted for not listening to the flight attendant.
Passenger Steve Weiss, who was sitting across the isle from Baldwin, described the scene.
“Apparently he said he was playing a game, but he was actually talking on the phone. She [the flight attendant] was very nice. The door was closed they just announced that they were pulling away from the gate. He got up threw his papers on the floor stormed into the bathroom slammed the door closed, beat on the wall and then came back.”
“He said ‘If you want to kick me off, kick me off.’ He was just crazy, he just flipped out, the guy has problems.”
A crew member who dealt with the hotheaded Hollywood actor said he couldn’t stay on the flight.
“He was violent, abusive and aggressive. He got into the bathroom and started beating on the wall and he pounded his fists on the galley counter. Yelling, screaming, very ugly. It was unsafe to keep him on board that’s why he got kicked out.”
The crew member did not want to give her name, but said she asked him five times to get off his phone.
“He was asked five times. I contacted the captain. We were brought back in and he was let off the plane.”
No special treatment for Baldwin was given.
“Everybody is the same. Everyone has to follow the rules, it doesn’t matter who you are,” the crew member said.
And after this, does Baldwin apologize? Nope. He feels the need to slime the flight attendant:
#theresalwaysunited Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950′s find jobs as flight attendants.
Keep in mind this is the same jackass who showed up at Occupy Wall Street to declare his support for the “99%.” Unemployed losers in tents get his appreciation. A hard-working flight attendant gets treated like crap.
And here endeth today’s lesson on liberal hypocrisy.
Add in "supporting the 99%" while getting paid big bucks to do ads for Capital One!

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOh guys give Alec a break. I dislike him as much as anyone and had a good laugh about his "cameo" in "Team America: World Police", but going batty on an aircraft these days (delayed, on the ground, and cannot call!) is quite understandable, even if not recommended, in my book. He deserves our sympathy, seriously.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhile I can sympathize with going batty on an airplane, I have less sympathy for going personal in his attacks on the stewardess.
I think his description - the way he confuses the stewardess with his memory of an old gym teacher - perfectly epitomizes the lefty mindset: issues with the adults in his life, and adult expectations, and those horrible adults from his childhood that he is still angry with.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOK, you might be right about the minor issue of his remarks, but I doubt your psychoanalysis of the lefty mindset.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAnyway, I notice this morning that Whoopi Goldberg is vehemently against Alec. That surely proves my point, no?

"unemployed losers in tents"
As one who is unemployed and checking back in with nr after a long time away, I think my delicate psyche can do without the strain of trying to give some benefit of the doubt that the author doesn't consider the unemployed to be a circle fully within that larger circle of losers, were he to draw a venn diagram. so i will head elsewhere for my distractions. true story, though: I've recently considered living on a pontoon boat on a lake, and I have also considered living at the (24 hour) gym as options for if things don't turn around. sure wish I had money left for a pontoon boat. ahhh, hot showers.
