Actor Alec Baldwin's televised remarks about House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde -- who led the vote on impeachment articles against President Clinton -- not only earned the ire of Congress, but really ticked off the chief lobbyist for the Hollywood film industry. Baldwin, appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, said that in other countries Hyde and his family would be stoned to death. Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said Thursday Baldwin was "so off base as to boggle the mind" and promised to follow up with a tongue-lashing in writing.
