Ah, to Page Six, Cold-Dead-Hands (is this grave dancing?) is a "conservative ICON" while ASNER is a self-pitying pinko" and "leftist" and "softness for communists".
Yeah-yeah: NY Post, MURDOCH, yada yada. This just underscores, among other things, that our remembering what some people did WHILE THEY WERE ALIVE is not "grave dancing" (rejoicing in their death). Talkin' 'bout Saint Cold-Dead-Hands here.
P.S., And I'm aware that Saint Cold had no direct authority to do the cancelling himself. (Just to cover all the superfluous points from the get-go.)

ED Asner - still fuming over the cancellation of "Lou Grant" in 1982 - blames late CBS boss Bill Paley and conservative icon Charlton Heston for killing his career. Asner had become increasingly vocal about his leftist politics, including softness for communists in El Salvador. "I said the people of El Salvador should be able to elect the government of their choice," the self-pitying pinko recently told Fancast.com. "I knew I was signing my death warrant . . . the show was threatened with being blacklisted. Charlton Heston . . . called me a 'dangerous, dangerous man' and then the show was indeed canceled." Asner, proving he was better playing an editor on TV than he would be in a real newsroom, said today's journalism "sucks. The papers always lead off on Page 1 with the little old lady beating off a robber with a golf club rather than the lady who was on welfare and shot to death being buried on Page 30."
