Heston recalls `Ben-Hur' race in GOP stump

"And then I threw the tablets at the mutants and said, 'Damn you all to hell!'"

Okay, I promised I wouldn't make any Heston-Has-Alzheimers' jokes. I lied. Heston did say, "That's what we have to be thinking about these next weeks ahead, that we stay in the ... chariot." I find it particularly appropriate that he compared the Republican Party to a mode of transportation that has been obsolete for over three thousand years.
