Martin Bashir, take note. Restrict your ugly rhetoric to conservatives, and you can keep your job. Offend a Designated Victim class, though, and…
Alec Baldwin is not welcome back at MSNBC because of his infamous angry behavior, network insiders say — including complaining that “the air at 30 Rock is too dry.”
Sources exclusively tell us that MSNBC chiefs are not exactly falling over themselves to get boisterous Baldwin back in the building. One insider said, “He would only show up at work an hour a week to prep for the show, and when he did turn up, he was in an angry mood, red-faced, and shouting at all the staff. And he said the air at 30 Rock was too dry, it was bad for his voice, he needed a humidifier.”
That seems reasonable enough. If his voice goes out, how is he supposed to scream at black people, women, and gays?
He hasn’t quit Twitter (again) yet, but it’s been a while since he’s said anything interesting:
Those who believe that Oswald acted alone also believe the guy playing Santa Claus would be there even without the minimum wage paycheck.

Wait. Alec Baldwin doesn’t believe in a magical man who comes down from the sky and gives everybody what they want, just because they think they deserve it? Then why does he believe in Obama?
Hang in there, Alec. If this gig falls through, you could always… I dunno… host HuffPo Live or something?
