Anyone who laughs at the fatal misfortune of good men deserves the hottest cauldron that Hell has to offer. George Looney has proven that he is a cretin on Bill Maher's level.

Heston was a former Democrat who had a wake-up call in the 80s, and his position on gun rights earned him the deep lifetime animosity of the Hollywood left - from the likes of disingenuous “directors” like Michael Moore, and mediocre actors like George Clooney, who infamously spat out the following back in 2003:
In receiving a special filmmaking achievement award from the National Board of Reviews, actor George Clooney joked that “Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.”
Clooney still had a chance to apologize for the bad humor day. When questioned about the remark by New York Newsday, Clooney sputtered: “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.”
And I am sure he is wondering why his new football movie FUMBLED at the box office this past weekend.
Looney Clooney is emblematic of today’s Democratic Party— classless
Before he passed into Alzheimer’s, Chuck Heston was heard to remark, in reference to george clooney and in deference to his friend, Rosemary Clooney, “Class skips a generation.”
Clooney is indeed a leatherhead....
George Clooney doesn’t have Pee Wee Herman’s talent. Who in Hollywood is he sleeping with?
Nick Clooney ran for Congress with this attitude in 2004 in Kentucky. His butt was kicked 54-44%.
Boycott his movies. Hit him in the only place that matters - his big fat ego.
I’ve long despised Clooney, and I’m sure this quote was part of that. I also remember him complaining about having to do a press tour to promote a movie and saying, “I have it much tougher than Clark Gable did!” Oh, did you fly combat missions over Germany, you sack of crap? The old Hollywood guard toured to promote their movies and war bonds all the time. Spoiled, overrated (in looks and acting ability) baby. I wouldn’t see a damn thing he was in.
Oh man. My Dad always said, “Class will tell.”
Clooney has none at all. I am thrilled that his latest movie bombed. What a p.o.s.
Anyone who laughs at the fatal misfortune of good men deserves the hottest cauldron that Hell has to offer. George Looney has proven that he is a cretin on Bill Maher's level.
Mr. Heston, OTOH, was truly a class act. A great master of his craft --- and a great patriot. God rest his soul.
Whose movies will people still be watching 50 years from now: Clooney’s or Heston’s? I rest my case.
Clooney’s classlessness is equal to Mr. Heston’s class. Boy, Clooney does have a lot of distance to make up. Shame on you, George. Your aunt would be embarrassed.
When Clooney is in a movie that transcends any movie that Mr. Heston made … I will listen to what he has to say.
“Not Fonda Jane” and “Clueless George.”
Can’t stand George Clooney. He really makes my skin crawl. There is nothing attractive about him at all.
Clooney has lots of class.
Steerage.
Ass****
I held my nose and visited the Huffington ComPost pile today just to see what vile things the liberals there had to say. What I saw was beyond belief. Along with the expected bile eminating from those cretins, they were lambasting this man for advocating an Amendment to the US Constitution. Completely clueless.
I guess it’s technically assault to spit on someone . . . but I’d sure be tempted if I got within range of cLOONEY.
Based on the box office for "Leatherheads", a vast majority of people feel the same way.
Moses bested Pharoah........he did a Ben Hur with clueless clooooooney!
Just to rub it in, someone should ask Clooless “You think you’re better than Major Clark Gable, USAAF, who was awarded the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross?”
It reminds me of someone who gets drunk at a party and hits on everyone, tells racist jokes and exposes himself, and never apologizes for his classless actions.
George Clooney isn’t a name, it’s a *punchline*!
I’d say p*ss on him, but that would be a waste of perfectly good urine.
Exactly! Few things are more contemptible than making sport of someone with a fatal illness. Unfortunately, as long as there are clueless bimbos who think Clooney is the handsomest hunk on planet Earth, he will have an audience....
or
It just goes to show that there are some things that all the money in the world can never buy.
clooney isn't fit to tie up Ben Hur's Roman sandals.
vaudine
His "talent" and script selection is doing that for him with out much help from us little people
In 2003 George Clooney used a speech at the National Board of Review awards to ridicule Heston’s illness, joking: “Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.”
Heston responded by saying: “I don’t know the man, never met him, never even spoken to him, but I feel sorry for George Clooney: one day he may get Alzheimer’s disease. I served my country in World War Two. I survived that; I guess I can survive some bad words from this fellow.”
Nick Clooney not only has his ass kicked, but it was kicked after having his very important movie star son campaign for him and accepting large donations from said son’s very important Hollywood friends. It was fabulous. Of course, the media never mentioned a word about that little fact.
Clooney is a man without intelligence, talent or class. You can read his IQ off a rectal thermometer.
I’ve only seen one Cloony film that I liked and that was because we peckerwood southerners have the ability to laugh at ourselves.
The only Clooney film I liked was “From Dusk Til Dawn,” but that was because of the one scene with Salma Hayek in it.
Clooney, physically, is one of those swarthy types, like David Copperfield, about whom my wife always says, “You just KNOW he has bad breath!” (About Bill Clinton, she said about 10 years ago, “He’s one of those guys who, when he takes his clothes off, you just know he smells like cheese”.) These descriptions apply equally to everything else about them. Clooney is one of those entirely average actors, who’s been catapulted into stardom, without ever
conveying any sense of who they are as stars, or WHY they are stars: actors as diverse as Brando, Jimmy Stewart, Gable,Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Eastwood, even Charles Bronson, had star presence, effortlessly, just because of who they were.
You can’t manufacture a quality like this, but Clooney has been “bequeathed” it , he has it “on loan” by the Industry and the critics, as payment for his “serious” Liberal propagandizing.
And Gable's wife, actress Carole Lombard, died in a plane crash returning from selling war bonds.
Great point. Although I already had the Ten Commandments on DVD, I bought the 50th Anniversary Edition DVD of the Ten Commandments last week.
Reagan, the former first lady, said in a statement that she was heartbroken.
“He was one of Ronnie’s and my dearest friends,” she said. “I will never forget Chuck as a hero on the big screen in the roles he played, but more importantly I considered him a hero in life for the many times that he stepped up to support Ronnie in whatever he was doing.”
The photograph that you posted made my screen blurry.
Clooney has also set up the Not On Our Watch organization with his Ocean’s Thirteen castmates Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle - to help provide humanitarian aid in the region.

Sarah Larson, a former cocktail waitress and go-go dancer, and the winner of Season Five of the NBC reality show, Fear Factor, began dating actor George Clooney in summer, 2007.
George Clooney wouldn’t make a pimple on Charlton Hestons ass.
Note- The part about Carol Lombard's last request is from the telegram she sent her husband just before boarding the ill-fated flight, telling him he'd "better get in this man's war."
Have you ever thought of that Mr. Putz?
Doug, Mr. Heston’s passing reminds us that we must savor being in the presence of great men, because we sure have an abundance of lesser men, like George Clooney.
I have a visceral dislike for Clooney—your recounting of what he said about Mr. Heston reminds me why.
