Alec Baldwin appeared on 60 Minutes. Morley Safer asked him about the voice mail he left for his daughter in the video above. Baldwin is correct when he says his anger was directed at his ex wife rather than his daughter, but he forgets to take responsibility for his actions, which means he still has a lot of work to do on himself.

You could see Baldwin’s temper starting to mildly flare in his response to Morley, in which he took the question as a personal affront and told ...

Last night 60 Minutes had a segment about Alec Baldwin . It was all there: the bloviating liberalism, that nasty voicemail he left for his daughter, eight million pictures of Baldwin when he was eight million pounds lighter, etc. The 30 Rock star came off pretty well; he seems like a humorous, self-aware guy who can give as good as he gets. You'd almost think he was sane, except for the enormous persecution complex that was never far from the surface. Anyway, here are a couple of clips.
