Heston Fires Back

"It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation," NRA head Charlton Heston harrumphed in response to George "Dangerous Mind" Clooney's nasty comment about Heston on the Charlie Rose Show. "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's," the Riptide and Facts of Life dreamboat quipped on Rose's latenight drivelthon, prompting not only Heston's comment but a hot rejoinder from Bill O'Reilly: "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… Just imagine if someone mocked Christopher Reeve's paralysis."
