Heston Post Mortem

In the aftermath of the passing of Charlton Heston, the lunatics on the far-left ‘flypaper blogs’ ravaged him – that was totally predictable. Also predictable, the mainstream big media that ravaged the likes of Heston and Ronald Reagan while they lived, offered glowing eulogies and nice things to say about each of them after they passed.

The ultimate hypocrisy, however, comes from – as Greg Gutfield puts it – “probably the biggest – and most sanctimonious sack of feces on the planet” – none other than Michael Moore. Gut goes on the describe the time that Moore cornered a disoriented Heston on his patio and stitched together the videos and sound bytes as part of the “Bowling for Columbine” anti-gun crockumentary.

The Gut goes on to conclude:

I bring up Moore because if you go to his Web site, you’ll find a memorial photo of Heston, along with the date of his birth and death. If Moore was any kind of man, he’d take that down, instead of pretending to care. But the world is far from perfect. If it was, Chuck would [have] shot him for trespassing back when he had the chance.

Moore – what an assclown.

In another ‘warm’ tribute, the L.A. Times published some of the letters to the editor that Chuck sent over the years – one of his letters addressed the necessity to bomb Japan at the end of WW2 in response to moronic August 1998 Times anti-nuke book reviews:

I’ve read most of your reviews on the books reexamining the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II. Each condemns the action without reservation as an insanely murderous choice. Several respected intellectuals are quoted, some no doubt qualified on the subject. It’s too bad none of them was there. . . . The bomb ended the war, and its nuclear successors won the Cold War without firing a shot, on either side. I call that a worthwhile achievement.

As Vinnie at Jawa Report says, “Hollywood Just Got 100% Worse.”
