Lou Grant Disses Mary Richards! (Ed Asner down on Mary Tyler Moore for liking Sarah Palin)
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune ^ | Friday, September 9, 2011 | Neal Justin

Posted on 09/09/2011 11:50:36 AM PDT by kristinn

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."

I detest him. I saw Mary on a PBS retrospective of Ed Sullivan’s show recently, and she’s still as lovely and graceful as ever.

Ed Asner is still alive?

**********************

Perhaps, but he's clearly brain-dead.

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

To be fair to Rob Reiner, If I was a teenage boy in the 60’s and had a chance to pinch that gorgeous Laura Petrie rear end, not sure what I’d do. (Yes, I do. I’m too much of a gentleman)

Ed Asner is living proof that Joe McCarthy was right.

McCarthy was right but he was investigating the government mainly the State Department

HUAC took on Hollywood

I guess as long as it’s facetime things are okay.

You mean as long as the residual checks are coming in, it's OK.

Yeah, but Carl Reiner was sure great at playing Alan Brady! IMO, the funniest Dick Van Dyke shows are the ones with Alan Brady, such as the episoed “Coast to Coast Bigmouth,” where Laura accidently lets it slip on national TV that Alan Brady wears a toupee. It’s just a hoot!
