So, I have a good twitter friend, Gwen Hayes. She’s a total sweetheart, and the kind of writer I strive to be. Earlier today she got into a little twitter battle with Scott Baio. Oh, you don’t remember him? Here, let me refresh your memory:
Now, I’m not going to lie to you people. When I was in middle school, and he was yukkin it up with his crazy best friend on the late eighties sitcom, Charles in Charge–I had a little crush. What? He was a cutie?
But now, he’s on twitter. And–he’s a little opinionated. He started ragging on the president.
So, she responded:
And, so he responded:
Then he blocked her. How sad is that? Everyone’s sixth grade crush blocked a fan. Ouch. I guess he just isn’t that in to the whole ‘being cool to his tweeps’ thing. But, I’m super bored with packing a good friend… so I stuck up for her:
And then… that boy who lived under those stairs and of COURSE that boy who loved Chachie…
He Dm’d me! He actually sent me a direct message. When I opened my email program, I saw this:
Wait, what? Scott Baio sent me a direct message on twitter? Oh for cripes sake! I had to read it! So, I opened up my twitter page and in one fell swoop, my childhood was crushed. Turns out Scott Baio is a crochety old douchebag.
He lives for family and GOLF? He equates an activity where you stand around all day and swing a titanium stick at a tiny ball a few times to his FAMILY? Wow… I guess it’s true what they say about those childhood actors–they really do go nuts.
Way to ruin it, Scott. Maybe you could call Kirk Cameron and have him ruin my eighth grade feelings for him, too.
Have a Nice Day and Watch out for the Big Yellow Chicken.

I’m so glad this link got tweeted…mostly because I’m a liberal progressive and it’s really, REALLY nice to see a conservative who respects our President – publicly, even. All we really hear are the loud, nasty voices. There are a lot of sick Obama-haters out in the real world and in the twitter world.
So thanks for sharing this, but mostly thanks for being good people in the world.
And if it helps any, I *NEVER* had a crush on Scott Baio and never understood the appeal (I prefer ‘real men’). I did like his two reality series because he didn’t try to pretend he wasn’t a jerky guy, and I respected that he was just himself. But as jerky as he was, the Obama comment was overboard (though I agree about Vick).

If there was any doubts that Scott Baio is at least a tad bonkers, his reality program (“Scott Baio Is 45…and Single”) should have dispelled them.

OMMFG! What a douche! So many celebrities shooting themselves in the foot lately. And this one is a has-been celebrity! The mind boggles.
Go you, though, Jamie! And you too, Gwen

Um, sorry to crush another dream of yours, but Kirk Cameron went of the deep end too. He’s a total televangelist freak now. Seriously. It’s insanity.

You mean Kirk Cameron didn’t ruin your feelings for him when he threw his lot in with that nutjob Ray Comfort?
PS – Scott Baio is a dumbass. Why did he feel the need to tell you that he’s “VERY VERY RICH”?? Is he compensating for something?? hmmm….

I had no idea who he was until I saw my wife get upset about this. I know who Gwen Hayes is. Lovely writer.
We are members of the RNC. He’s not a conservative. He’s just a rude has-been.

Thanks for pointing this out. I immediately added scott to my Twitter. About time a Hollywood type showed some sense! Fantastic.
By the way Gwen, get real and grow a skin, NOT everyone needs to agree with you!

“He lives for family and GOLF? He equates an activity where you stand around all day and swing a titanium stick at a tiny ball a few times to his FAMILY?”
I think you are being unfair to say that he is “equating” his family to golf. He was simply listing his two passions. Listing them in the same sentence is in no way indicative of him measuring their comparative significance.

Are we 100% sure it’s him? I mean he doesn’t have a verified account. I think it’s best to not assume it’s him till it’s verified.

Just did a search on twitter for @thescottbaio.
Lots of messages there saying that account has been hacked.
If that’s true then somebody owes him an apology.

petty scared little man, who will never grow up. so sad for the children who call him daddy. he is just a sore loser when it comes to life. and yes, he lost. oh and he is of the gay way too… he is afraid to cum out tho, that's why he had that lame show about being old and a chickenhawk.
