George Clooney...Liberal Asshole

October 27 2006

Here's an article I found...


Actor and NRA President Charlton Heston is taking film star George
Clooney to task after Clooney's reported wisecrack over Heston's
Alzheimer's disease.

George Clooney in 'Solaris'New York Post columnist Liz Smith wrote Sunday that while Clooney was accepting an award from the National Board of Review last week,
he said that "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's."

When Smith asked the actor if he went too far with his remarks, Clooney
-- who's against the gun lobby -- responded, "I don't care. Charlton
Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves
whatever anyone says about him."

According to the Internet Movie Database, Heston responded to Clooney's
remarks by noting the "class" of the actor's late aunt, singer-actress
Rosemary Clooney.

Charlton Heston"It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation,"
Heston was reported as saying.

When cable news show host Bill O'Reilly got wind of Clooney's remarks
this week, it re-ignited a war of words that began when O'Reilly
criticized the actor for not following up on the distribution of monies
from Sept. 11-related fundraisers.

"If this had been George Clooney's first mistake I'd just mock him and
forget about it, but he's clearly out of control," "The O'Reilly Factor"
host said Monday. "I believe most Americans will find these remarks
mean-spirited."

In addition, O'Reilly sounded off about the press' apparent lack of
reporting Clooney's comments.

"Just imagine if someone mocked Christopher Reeve's paralysis," O'Reilly
added. "The Hollywood press and the elite media would go nuts, but very
little has been said about Clooney's insensitivity."
