Yes, the same Ed Asner whose voice starred in the Disney animated film Up. He’s not only a proud socialist but a 9/11 Truther. Apparently he went on Adam Carolla’s show and began spurting his conspiracy theories — something not very welcome by Carolla.

“No high-rise has ever gone down by fire,” Asner explains. “Those buildings fell at the rate of gravity in ten seconds, flat.” He served up some more supposed “facts” as to why the buildings had to have been brought down by domestically planted explosives rather than internationally hateful terrorists. Carolla tried to debunk the conspiracy theory by asking why the surreptitious government of Asner’s mind, if it was so keen on instigating a war, didn’t go ahead and plant WMDs in Iraq. “Because it wasn’t the same department of government,” Asner replied, chuckling at Carolla’s naiveté.

So let’s get this straight. A government that can plant explosives on every floor of two skyscrapers in New York City, without anyone outside of the conspiracy noticing, never mind manufacturing countless eyewitnesses and video of the planes hitting, can’t manage to plant WMDs in a war zone. Because it’s a different department of the government.

Gotcha.
