Gawd, these Hollywood-types have SUCH thin skins, and they are so undeniably nasty. They complain about the Right? They live in a parallel universe, and Ebert’s one of them. I used to like to occasionally listen to his critiques about the movies. Then he started taking himself waaaaay too seriously, like Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, the Dixie Chicks, Barbra Streisand and hubby, ad infinitum. Yuck to all of them.
So basically the Great Genius Ebert says Palin shouldn’t be veep because (1) she didn’t graduate from just one single school (2) she didn’t go to Europe when she was in college and (3) he doesn’t like her choice of eyeglasses. Well I guess if those thoroughly deep and cogent reasons are good enough for the Great Genius Ebert, seer of seers, and knower of all things worth knowing, it’s good enough for me! (smirk)
The only way I got to Europe was courtesy of the US Army. And I haven't been back since. Haven't wanted to go back. He's showing himself to be the elitist Sarah was painting in her speech.
Palin is a shallow, chirpy person with those vaguely alarming eyeglasses.
Clueless Self parody. Really funny, though unintended.
“And how can you be her age and never have gone to Europe?”
Gee, that doesn’t sound elitist at all!
Indeed, when you're as heavy as Roger is, it can be downright dangerous.
what a pathetic chirpy little man.
I’m nearly the same age as Sarah and I’ve never been to Europe. Not to mention, I’ve never had a passport.
“...at 19, I scraped together $240 for a charter flight to Europe...”
At 19, well that was 40 years ago, Rog. Times have changed!
I always like his movie reviews. If he hates a movie, I know it must be good.
Ebert has always been the southbound end of a northbound horse. Just another whiny Liberal doing what they do best: whining. Of no consequence.
The University of Illinois was way too good for a smarmy piece of crap like you, Roger.
Shut up, you old fruit. Go review another foreign film or two, you old queenie!
Roger is so predictable whether its movies. actors or politics...if he didn’t rely on the sympathy of the community he would be off the news. Just shows that a person begging off his handicap is a sad sight.
I saw him on the streets of Boulder (you know the liberal bastion filled with pompous airheads) one night. He was incredibly full of himself, considering he produces nothing but wordy movie reviews for a living.
Stick to cinema, Roger.
i guess he hasn’t been humbled enough, yet.
From a Scientologist living on the ‘down low’.....Ebert has no room to talk about Gov. Palin......PERIOD!!!
Same here.
Wow - I guess he figured “hey all of these people I write about get to mouth off about their goofy political convictions - I want a piece of that!”
Hey Roj - stick to what you know - writing about picture shows.
Well, Ive been to europe. But I came back. Why? Because europe sucks. If you think going to europe is so great ebert , why don’t you roll on over there and stay ?
It is a little surprising, actually. It doesn't seem like she's traveled all that much in her life.
