Seems that Michael Moore & his 'Bowling for Columbine' brought old Chuck down after all. Heston made his 'farewell' speech to the NRA convention today:

Charlton Heston's Farewell to the NRA

Remember, Heston's Alzheimer's announcement was made just after the debut of 'Bowling for Columbine' which obviously made him look too frighteningly real even for the NRA. And get a load of the war mongering and warrior rhetoric in his taped farewell speech!

No surprise about his replacement, though. Another Republican party hack.

"Heston will be succeeded by Kayne Robinson, former chairman of the Iowa State Republican Party.

After the tape, Heston moved to the podium, where he repeated his trademark "cold dead hands" phrase and made a few remarks of thanks."
