Alec Baldwin Kicked Off a Plane

Alec Baldwin Gets Kicked Off an American Airlines Plane | Story | Wonderwall

This strikes me as selfish because he certainly did not care about causing everyone else to run late. My guess is all he cared about was that he could afford just to get another flight and finish his game.

Heh, he was on Conan last night (which is taped during the day) so I assume he was on a flight back home from LA at that point.

I wonder if he used his Capitol One miles to book the flight

Didn't he say he'd move out of the US if Bush won one of the 2 elections he won? What's he still doing here?

Funny on TV. Apparently a real-life self-serving idiot.

What a tool...
Kind of reminds me of a story my Grandma told me,
About ten years ago she was riding a BC ferry and the Premier of BC just so happened to be on board and he pulled some strings and got the captain to drive the boat 45 minutes of course to go see Saltspring Island.
Just goes to show you how power can go to peoples heads sometimes.

I have no idea who Alec Baldwin is, but it seems more like one of those 'non stories' that celebs twitter about themselves in self serving attempts to remain in the public eye.

I was hoping to read the words "hail of gunfire" at the end of the story.

I usually tend to give most people a break, so it's a bit unusual for me to state that, IMHO, AB is an arrogant, self-absorbed a-hole who has made me laugh in the past. Not that anyone cares but me, I will no longer offer my support to any of his projects.

Well he did score Kim Basinger so I give him props for that.

Other than that I'm not really sure he contributes anything to society.

WTH, Alec? You never been on a damn plane before or something? You never noticed that everyone has to turn their stuff off? Are you special?

Um Bob, I hate to break it to you this way, but Alec isn't here. He can't hear you.
