Same here. Even on so-called conservative sites, people were bashing Ebert for his “sanctimoniousness.” Bullpuckey. This jerk needlessly killed himself and another man. Had he gone 140 mph into a car carrying your wife, your children, your parents, or your siblings, I don’t think you would be quite so hard on Roger Ebert. He was right. Nobody, even “conservatives,” wants to speak the truth. Especially when it comes to celebrities.
Some people are Christian enough to wait til the casket is buried before they point out what a jackwad the deceased was.
It’s in deference to the family not the jackwad.
Ebert is scum either way. His post was correct but the timing was poor.
I feel no regrets for him.
