And inconveniences the other passengers.
Alec Baldwin says he was kicked off an American Airlines flight on Tuesday for refusing to turn off his iPad while he played the Scrabble knockoff “Words With Friends.”
Immediately after getting the boot from his flight, Baldwin took to Twitter, saying, “Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving. #nowonderamericaairisbankrupt.”
Other passengers quickly took to Twitter to give their side of the story.
Activate founder Michael J. Wolf writes, “On an AA flight at LAX. Alec Baldwin removed from the plane We had to go back to the gate. Terrible that everyone had to wait.”
“They’re thoughtless pigs“, added Baldwin. Then after reconsidering, he clarified: “Wait a sec. That was my daughter.”
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
One wonders why Obama failed to pick him as Veep…
Irony alert.
This is the same Baldwin who makes ads for a credit card that gives air miles faster than the competition.
He is shown being coddled in his plane’s seat.
A manicurist, chef and some one else all pouring over him.
LOL!
Tonight he issued a partial and nuanced apology.
@Nan G: One might be tempted think that that was not simply a commercial….
@anticsrocks: LOL
For the record:
If there is a problem on takeoff, the pilots will have to use the ILS to turn around and land.
@John Cooper:
Once a Northwest flight a flight attendant came back to me and determined that the track mouse on a previous computer was affecting the inertial guidance system of the DC9 in which we were flying.
Then again, can you imagine having to listen to idiots like Baldwin talking (and they talk loudly) along with 25 loud lawyers during the entire flight from LA to NY?
Argh.
Yeah, Baldwin’s a d*ck, what’s your point, Dr J? Don’t tell me you subscribe to the logically embarrassing notion, “he’s a liberal, therefore all liberals must be d*cks!” Even a walking mannequin like you can’t be that simple.
@Tom: Okay, let’s go with that. All liberals aren’t dicks.
But since so very many are, how about naming, oh I don’t know – FIVE that aren’t?
Three, even?
Two?

TOM
you’re looking for trouble again, you know them libs, they are like that and they won’t change, you did not change, you’re always the same lib trouble maker as the libs are,
It’s all right.. “he played a pilot once”.. LOL!!!
@anticsrocks:
Two? You want me to name two? On Earth?! That’s twice as many as I was prepared to offer.
ARE there two?? LOL!
@Tom: ROFLMAO! Good comeback. 🙂
@Tom:
Asked and answered!
At least I ain’t no liberal! LOL
In other ”entertainment” news:
Remember Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson?
NBC is now checking the songs the Roots play on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” after the band performed an off-color song during Michele Bachmann’s show appearance last month. Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots says now he’s “gotta clear a lot of the song choices” with the network. “It’s still a comedy show, so they promise not to step on my toes or that type of thing, but they definitely want to know the title of the song, the subject matter of the song, can it be seen as an insult?” he said in an interview Thursday.

See?
For Liberals the only solution for human failing is MORE REGULATION.
The idea that a man could have learned his lesson is beyond the Liberal mindset.
@Tom:
Sad that Dr.J would resort to school-yard tactics such as name calling to make his point.
“Alec has some obvious mental issues and I wish him well in seeking treatment for his anger issues.”
That, Dr.J, is the way to handle it.
@Ivan: Ivan, just call a spade a spade, or in this case a dick being what it is his nature to be- the trouble with all the libtards is that they like to change the language, like calling a problem an “issue”- a problem is a problem, not a magazine.
But this is how
libs,progressives, socialists think, in their childlike way, that they can mask their true intentions, but all they do is sound ridiculous.Over at HuffPo they tolerate absolutely no posts critical of their gods such as Redford or Baldwin. Baldwin did an Obama (It’s not my fault) in a post there, omitting entirely his temper tantrum:
He should be placed on a no-fly list, as would happen to anyone other than a spoiled and pampered twit.
@DrJohn:
Members of the aristocracy don’t need to obey the same rules or have the same punishments as we do (unless of course the violation is just too heinous to be overlooked…)
In the Old World the aristocracy was determined by blood line and inheritance…the money was inherited.
In the New World the aristocracy is determined by celebrity and political power…the money comes to them from their respective field.
Personally I have no issue with people coming by wealth through the hard work of themselves or their progenitors…my issue is with those who get to live by different rules than the rest of us: congress that passes laws that won’t apply to them equally, celebrities who get special legal treatment, etc.
The difference is the “new media”…be it left or right oriented…everyone *can see* the aristocratic divide for themselves — it is this very divide that gives any populist traction to the the lame class warfare rhetoric of OWS…the kneejerk anger common folks have against those in power, those in the spotlight, not because they have wealth, something that most aspire to have themselves — but because they live lives above the law and the new media shows them this — from whatever “LiLo’s” current court marathon is showing her being treated with kid gloves where the common citizen would’ve been treated far more harshly to those politicians of both parties with their culture of corruption, cronyism, and special treatment.
Oh sure, now and again one or two of the privileged class will be offered up when they get overly greedy and/or stupid…but we are seeing more and more of how these people have the ultimate entitlements of power … the kind of entitlement that isn’t quantified by such a simple metric as wealth.
