The great thing about being a living legend is that you can pretty much speak your mind without major repercussions. I was reminded of that Thursday night when I found myself chatting with Ed Asner at a party celebrating the upcoming season at the Fitzgerald Theater. Asner's in town for his one-man performance as Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
By way of saying hello, I asked him what he thought of the announcement earlier in the day that Mary Tyler Moore would be getting a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild.
Asner, 81, hadn't heard the news and, based on his reaction, he didn't really seem to care.
"She's changed," said Asner, who was once president of SAG and received its lifetime achievement award in 2001. "She's a Republican." Asner was now in his "I hate spunk" mode. "Last time I saw her, she said Sarah Palin was a great lady."

Sarah Palin IS a great lady, Ed, and you’re a pathetic little man.

Jane Fonda regrets not ever having slept with Che Guevara. Ed Asner regrets not having slept with him too...

Asner has been a leftwing slug forever. No surprise he'd condition his friendship on political correctness.

Well, I guess Mary has the right to say and think what she wants without worrying about it either.
I did not know Mary is a Sarah supporter, or a Republican for that matter.

Ah...we already knew Asner was a stupid lib tool anyway. What-ever. Yes, but it was nice to learn that MTM likes Sarah Palin.

Mr Asner needs to give 10 million bucks to the Marxist Obama then I will listen.

Ed Asner is living proof that Joe McCarthy was right.

He said he believes there was a conspiracy behind 9/11. Doesn't everybody? What he believes is there was a US GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY behind 9/11.

He doesn’t seem to mind promoting the Mary Tyler Moore show on MEtv. I guess as long as it’s facetime things are okay.

Asner's in town for his one-man performance as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. I think I will pass on that master piece.

Me either. Glad to hear that Mary is a Sarah supporter and a Republican..and Ed Asner is still alive? I thought he died years ago..what a commie fool he is
To: WayneS
Physically, yes.
Mentally, no.
So...*beyond* being a supporting actor on The MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, [chuckle] what else is he famous for?
