Asner, "We got Rush, Hannity is next."

In the news this week are several reports of an exchange between syndicated talk-show host Mike Gallagher and actor-turned-leftist-poster-child Edward Asner.

The account goes like this: Mike Gallagher approached Asner at a recent cocktail party promoting the new film "Elf" in which Asner stars as Santa Claus. As Gallagher introduced himself, Asner asked his profession. When Gallagher replied "radio talk-show host," Asner replied, "I love going toe-to-toe with you guys.''

''I know,'' Gallagher replied. ''I've heard you on Sean Hannity's show.''

''Hannity's next, you know,'' Asner responded.

who's "we", I wonder? Asner's local cell?

[jammer]

Wow. I am stunned at the last paragraph in the link.

[EggsAckley]

Joe Stalin?!?!?

Ass-ner should be arrested. I will NEVER view ANY of his films again.

[D. Brian Carter]

When did we start excerpting WND?

[FierceDraka]

Asner's most admired historical figure is Joe Stalin???

Is this man psychotic??? In my mind, that's no different from holding Hitler or Pol Pot in high esteem. Sick.

[JmyBryan]

Gotta believe he said that just to get people riled up.

[ClearCase_guy]

I'll trot out my story (often told) of a History professor who told my class that Harry Truman should have been tried for war crimes because of the way he dropped bombs on the enemy during the war, and (in the same lecture) that Joe Stalin was a "pragmatic leader" who may have killed millions of his own people, but who simply did what he had to do in order to create a better world.

Oh goodie. Time for my obligatory Ed Asner comment:

In colloquial English, a "gnrr" means belly-button lint.

Sooooo... what's an Asner?

[ladtx]

I think Alzheimers is beginning to set in for Asner. Either that or he is just plain overcome by wishful thinking.

[The Westerner]

Pretty shocking, considering the fact that Stalin mercilessly killed millions of innocent Russians--people who wanted nothing but to be left alone. I have known someone whose family was left to rot and die in that hellhole. There isn't anything I want to understand about that vicious monster. And I'd be glad if Ed Asner took a long dirt nap.

[Uncle George]

The Demorats politics of personal destruction, what a deplorable way to live in this world. Do they ever really sleep at night?

[stainlessbanner]

Asner didn't make sense on Hannity. Still doesn't.

[fml]

Wow!! He's gone nuts.

[ladtx]

Asner's most admired historical figure is Joe Stalin???

And they were going to lynch Schwarzenegger for his comments about Hitler. Bet you won't hear anything about this anywhere else.

[CyberCowboy777]

With those statements: Assner is next.

[poet]

Read them. Incredible

Forget the comments about Stalin. The real story here is that apparently the "we" here is a concerted effort, which suggests that these people in FL did not act alone.
