I believe that was actually Michael Moore disdaining Heston in his docucrap “Bowling for Columbine”, in which he made Heston (using clever camera angles) look like he’s walking away from Moore and ignoring him, when he actually did not. Also, Moore falsely showed Heston giving his “from my cold dead hands” speech at the NRA convention in Denver shortly after the murders in Littleton.
Moore also tried ambushing the late Dick Clark into being at least somewhat responsible for the boy who shot a girl at school with a gun taken from a crackhouse, as the boy’s mother worked at the American Bandstand restaurant chain as a waitress. Many, many cowardly falsehoods were in this lame excuse for a movie.
Moore is a piece of garbage.
But Clooney tastelessly joked, “Charlton Heston announced ‘again’ today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.” The needlessly cruel quip was delivered at a National Board of Review film awards ceremony honoring the loudmouthed actor. When called on about the stupid comment, Clooney dismissed any opportunity to apologize. “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him
And I didn’t know about the Dick Clark thing. As if I needed more reason to hate his guts and celebrate his imminent heart attack.
