I will never forget how Charlton Heston totally humbled Maher.
Maher invited Heston to be on his show, along with a group of unimportant liberals. For the duration of the show, Heston just sat there as the liberals talked over each other, saying nothing of importance and puffing their little egos.
Finally, Maher intervened in the last few minutes, just so Heston could say something, and asked Heston if he would say something about guns. Then, after a pause, half-sneeringly, “as Moses would say it.”
Ooo-boy.
Heston, who had been so subdued, stood up, and suddenly looked a lot taller and larger than his 6’3” muscular frame. His eyes took on a gleam, and he did what Maher had asked.
He gave a short NRA speech about the right to guns, and he did it like he *was* Moses, with the same riveting command presence that you see in “The Ten Commandments”. The same booming voice. The same righteous strength. Riveting. Overwhelming.
When he had finished, the audience was utterly silent. The liberal jabber-jaws were silent. Awestruck. Amazed. For perhaps ten seconds, absolute silence. Finally Maher blurted out something to try and break the spell, but he got out just a few mumbled words.
The show was over. There was nothing else to say. In one short speech, Heston proved himself more than Maher had done, or can possibly do, in the rest of his petty life.
Would there be a Youtube link?
