Matt Lauer astonished that Charlton Heston never reconsidered Support of Gun Rights. (BARF-OLA!)

During a taped interview played on Thursday's Today, Lauer wanted to know, given that Heston has guns in his house as he is showing signs of Alzheimer's, whether there is "a concern that if you become of diminished mental capacity that that could be a problem?"

A stunning statement.

[sheik yerbouty]

Lauer is a pc imbecile.

[Inspectorette]

"Speaking about a President of the United States here."

I wish Mr. Heston had replied, "I'm speaking about a person who squatted in the Oval Office and defiled the Office of the Presidency for eight long years, and who turned the White House - the People's House - -into a whorehouse.

[Senator Pardek]

...that horse-faced chick from Sex in the City

Thank God - I'm not gay for thinking that! I thought I was the only dude in the world who thought she's Ms. Ed.

[Ipberg]

That should get rid of any respect a few of you Freepers still might have had for Lauer! Thank you Media Research Centre

Thanks....I truly despise Lauer and his ilk. They are almost the level of enemy as the Islamists.

In the long run, the lib media may damage us even more from a political and cultural perspective.

[Drango]

Matt Lauer has never reconsidered his support for pedophiles, rapists, traitors and pond scum.

[billhilly]

If, on his ride to the studio in his network provided limo, it should hit and kill a pedestrian, is there anyone here who believes he would stop riding in the limo?

[Hildy]

My only comment would be why Heston and his people would have subjected themselves to this.

[DoughtyOne]

Because the public needs to see someone who has his head glued on squarely when it comes to guns.

[CaptainK]

Lauer: "That you had the symptoms. It brought up an issue that I hadn't thought about. You are gun owner, you have guns in your home. Is there a concern that if you become of diminished mental capacity that, that could be a problem?"


There are car keys and steak knives in the house too. Better get rid of them before it's too late.

[Restorer]

A stunning statement.

Also true. I've been around people with advanced Alzheimer's, and they shouldn't have access to guns, anymore than 3-year olds should.

[Howlin]

That is NOT the point; it's not up to Matt to discuss that in public.

Or are you insinuating that Matt was just thinking of what was best for Heston, and not trying to make him out a hypocrite?

[onedoug]

"I wish Moses had knocked him on his butt."

I'd say, he did.

[muir_redwoods]

Chuck would have to fall pretty far to be as diminished as Matt, Katie and the rest of the commie media.

[agrace]

EW.

[dsutah]

Yeah, but he sure put him in his place! hehehehehe! What's the matter Matt? Did the old gent with Alzheimer's get the best of you? Cat got your tongue?

[Fintan]

After Heston maintained, "I'm proud of having said it," Lauer admonished him: "Speaking about a President of the United States here."

That's okay...Millions of dimwits actually believe Lauer's a "journalist".

[dubyagee]

"Speaking about a President of the United States here."

No, no, he got it all wrong. "Speaking the truth about a President of the United States here."

Liberals always drop the most important parts.

[SunnyUsa]

thanks for posting this.... I never watch the Today show and this was very amusing! lol

Good for HESTON, he's the greatest....

Matt Laur is such a lightweight...he's gotta be the luckiest man on TV.
