Who gets justice?

Last week it was reported that Alec Baldwin verbally abused his 11-year-old daughter on the phone calling her "a rude, thoughtless little pig.". In defending himself he talked about how hard it is to not get angry at the horrible treatment he has received at the hands of his daughter's mother.

This isn't the first time he has been caught in a rant. On one of the talk shows years ago he went off on Prosecutor Ken Starr over the investigation of Bill Clinton with Monica Lewinski. He actually called for Ken Starr's assassination. Now here he is again. And how does he spin this? He plans to write a book on the injustices done to divorced dads. Is it injustice that he doesn't like or exposure? I wonder who would purchase it. Would it be all those other people who are looking for justification for their own bad behavior?

Personally I can't wait for his daughter to grow up so she can write a book about the injustices of children who get beat up emotionally, physically, and verbally just because they have parents who won't grow up and control themselves.

I read about this. Just amazing. I swear, the day a dad gets to call his daughter a pig simply because his life is rough....who's the adult here?

And really, how hard can your life be when you're worth millions? As the great Anthony Hopkins said in 'The Edge': "Never feel sorry for a man who owns a plane"

Ironically enough, he was saying it to his costar..Alec Baldwin.
