Alec Baldwin says Greg Garcia, creator of ?My Name is Earl,? is a Scientologist

Last week, we told you how Alec Baldwin was whining in a New York Times op-ed piece about NBC's treatment of his hit show "30 Rock," saying that the network has "wrung the last drops out of Scrubs and My Name is Earl," shows which he called "done" and "cooked," by giving them hour-long premieres, while his show, which he referred to as "the red headed stepchild" only gets 30 minutes. Greg Garcia, creator of "Earl," then shot back by calling Baldwin an unlikeable, psychotic narcissist. Alec was quick to send out a response to Garcia's claims, at the end of his recent Huffington Post blog about the McCain-Palin ticket.

PS: My apologies to the cast and crews of My Name Is Earl and Scrubs. In my frustration with NBC's reprehensible promotion of 30 Rock, I took an unfortunate swipe at both of those shows and that was not cool.

But, for Earl's creator, Greg Garcia, who referred to me as a "psychotic", I have only one question. Why are you Scientologists always rendering these medical opinions you aren't qualified to give?

Garcia didn't waste any time responding to Baldwin's words. In an interview with the web site Gawker, Garcia had this to say:

"Alec, I can't tell you how happy I am to once again point out that you are an idiot. I'm unable to answer your question about Scientologists because, although I respect anyone's right to their own beliefs, I am not currently nor have I ever been a Scientologist. Maybe you should have done some research that extended past the comments section of Defamer before you crafted your insult.

"If you choose to attack me again may I suggest something witty about me creating the show Yes Dear or just simply a joke about the fact that I’m bald. Both true.

"As far as you being psychotic, anyone who thinks NBC wouldn’t do everything they could to promote a great show like 30 Rock, which they own, over a show like My Name is Earl, which they don’t, is a tad nutty.

"Good luck with the Emmys and don’t forget to tune in for the one hour season premiere of My Name is Earl September 25th."

Wow! These guys are just not going to let this go. I have a solution: a 30 Rock/My Name is Earl Cage Match! Two men enter, one man leaves. I can see Tina Fey going up against Jaime Pressly, Alec Baldwin grappling with Jason Lee, and Tracy Morgan throwing down against Ethan Suplee. The winning team gets an hour-long special on Thursday night on NBC. THAT would be a ratings hit, my friends.
