From TMZ: "After telling Dave that his 11-year-old was "doing great," Baldwin regaled the live audience with a story about Ireland's new affinity for dancing in public, then playfully mocked a few of her favorite moves. When Dave asked if Ireland's new passion was embarrassing for him, Alec replied, "Hey, she could be out stealing cars."

You know, it's always a good idea to make fun of your child, especially on national tv. What would be no big deal for an adult or even a teenage boy could be devastatingly mortifying for an 11 year old girl. I do not know if she watched this, but if she did...I can understand why she might not want to talk to him in the morning.

Good lord!

The man shouldn’t be raising a gopher much less a girl.

Thank you for explaining what he said about her on Letterman. It does sound like he is insensitive to how she might feel about his crude jokes.

Why is it that teenage boys, who are well known to develop at a slower pace than girls both physically and emotionally, are always just supposed to "handle it" whether it's public embarrassment, sexual assault at the hands of a teacher, or discrimination in public school?

Typical "boy" behavior is being outlawed in any number of areas in society, no wonder there are so many "confused" boys being manipulated by the gay agenda, societal pressures to leave their testosterone at the door and get more in touch with their feelings.

I offer that Alec Baldwin is a jackass and his behavior toward his child would be equally as hurtful regardless of his child's gender.
