Not because everybody else is writing about it, but because I have to.
It's very simple; the man should be taken out and horsewhipped.
I've got a daughter who can drive me up the wall without breaking a sweat, and she's done so several times. I would never leave a message like that for her to find,and she's15, not 11.
If you haven't done so already, listen to the whole thing, not just excerpts. Listen to his voice as his threats escalate.
I don't care how badly he's gotten screwed in the divorce and custody litigation. I don't care what lies Kim has told about him. I don't care how many phone calls he's missed. He has no right to speak to an 11 year old child that way, particularly the way he threatens her at the end of the call. I sure as heck wouldn't let him near her after hearing that.
UPDATE: As Cathy pointed out during the BlogFest, if it turns out that Kim Basinger released this tape, then she also should be horsewhipped.
Ms. Basinger, that is,not Cathy.
I like Cathy.
You're absolutely right, about all three things.
Alec should be horsewhipped.
Kim should be horsewhipped.
Cathy should not be horsewhipped, cause I like her too. And it's cute on TV when her nose crinkles up like a Bajoran.
