Bring Roger another pallet of ho-ho's

Nice pen, you debonair world traveler you!

[A_Former_Democrat]

And I’ll bet that dorky looking fatass breaks the scale on his “weigh in”.

[SlowBoat407]

Gosh, Roger. I wasn’t aware you had spent so much time with her that you could understand her fully. You say it’s important for someone to visit Europe so they can understand foreign relations, yet you make a snap judgement about a candidate without walking two feet in her shoes.

Roger, you’re not even that good a movie reviewer. Shut the f*** up.

[alecqss]

Gosh, such sour grapes from an obsessed personality cult builder...

[dfwgator]

Roger Ebert Should Layoff the Fatty Foods.

[dep]

ah yes. jabba the critic, munching on frogs and belching his putrefaction. no doubt gene siskel would say that if took dying for him to escape the presence of ebert, it was a good bargain.

a pathetic michael moore wannabe. but at least moore makes something. all ebert does is fart about the accomplishments of others.

[frogjerk]

And how can you be her age and never have gone to Europe? My dad had died, my mom was working as a book-keeper and I had a job at the local newspaper when, at 19, I scraped together $240 for a charter flight to Europe. I had Arthur Frommer's $5 a Day under my arm, started in London, even rented a Vespa and drove in the traffic of Rome. A few years later, I was able to send my mom, along with the $15 a Day book.

Ebert bragging at his whine and cheese party that he was slumming...What an elitst snob!

[Henry Hnyellar]

This guy is complaining about someone else’s glasses?

[xDGx]

Here he is displaying the sartorial edge that made him the toast of Europe*

*pre-1989 Eastern Europe, that is...

[max americana]

>You don’t need to be a pointy-headed elitist to travel abroad. You need curiosity and a hunger to see the world. What kind of a person (who has the money) arrives at the age of 44 and has only been out of the country once, on an official tour to Iraq? Sarah Palin’s travel record is that of a hopeless provincial.<

Eat more doughnuts, Ebert. Silly argument for someone who;s occupation is to ‘review movies”.Obama appeared in Iraq for 15 minutes, Israel 45 minutes and Berlin for 4 hours. Yes, he is smarter than the rest of us (sarc). Just because you’re a world-class traveller doesn’t mean you are fit to be president. My parents and friends have to been to 6 continents of 7, and including your 57 states...yet they love their own country unlike you and your ilk.

[conservative cat]

She’s been to Europe, but that fat a** is too ignorant and shallow to know that.

[SteveAustin]

And Ebert’s “proud” that all he’s done his whole life is eat doughnuts and watch movies for a living?

[JoJo Gunn]

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

Beyond the Valley of the Ultra Vixens

'Nuff said.

Maybe us unwashed hayseeds don't want to go slobber all over some socialist paradise. Last time I checked, the office was VP of the United States, not VP of the Frickin' World, you condescending, ivory tower prick

[maine-iac7]

What's that about the science of physiognomy? By the time you're 30, your personality is stamped upon your face? He's had time to be stamped 2 1/2 times.

[rbg81]

Yup. Proof that those that can’t do criticize.

[Citizen Soldier]

I bet she doesn’t use his opinions to pick out movies at Blockbusters either! He looks like Andy Warhol

[fightinJAG]

Roger: your analysis was disturbingly shallow and sophomoric.

Besides, Obambi is the American Idol candidate.
