[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

I am in NO WAY an Ebert fan, but I wonder if the "righteous indignation" about his comments will endure after the toxicology reports are released.

I am willing to bet the guy was plastered to the gills, as some witnesses have indicated.

Ebert got it right the first time, as he usually does.

[VRWCmember]

It’s kind of funny when a flaming liberal gets exposed for the pompous, judgmental, intolerant, insensitive ass that he is.

[Raider Sam]

Dunn was probably under the influence, and Ebert’s comments may have been true. The problem with this, as in many other situations, is the fake apology to those “offended.” If Ebert wanted to offer condolences, he would have done so the first day. Waiting until a forced apology indicates insincerity.

Btw, I loved the Jackass and Viva La Bam series’, and Dunn was a pretty funny guy.

Finally, something I can agree with Ebert on and he takes it back.

Meh.

His BAC doesn’t matter that much. Everything we have seen makes it clear he went beyond the limits of real life physics.

He held his “I am immortal” 16-yo mentality into adulthood. And we may never know how many kids got hurt or even killed following his sick and stupid example.

Reality caught up with him and now his life is of no meaning but his death is an object lesson to youngsters (and, God help us all, “admirers”) — stupid dies when stupid does.

Whatever. Now start apologizing for your crappy reviews, Roger.

What's he doing tweeting anyway? Is there anybody in the world who thinks "Gee, I just can't get enough Roger Ebert. I wonder just exactly what he's thinking right now."?

[Carling]

You think they will get toxicology results from two charred carcasses?

[Bean Counter]

Insensitive, but accurate...

[Recovering_Democrat]

I am glad no innocent children were killed.

The guy should’ve never been on the road, and I do believe the bartender(s) who served him should be investigated...I do think it is irresponsible, and if the state where this happened has addressed it, possibly illegal to knowingly serve someone alcohol who is already intoxicated.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Normally, when you speak without thinking first, a couple people hear you make an ass out of yourself. With Twitter, the whole country gets to see you make an ass out of yourself.

[Wuli]

“who has won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism”

He won because the awards committee loved Ebert’s support for Michael Moore and his fictional “documentary” on Bush and Afghanistan.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You reap what you sow.

'To begin with, I offer my sympathy to Ryan Dunn's family and friends, and to those of Zachary Hartwell, who also died in the crash,' he wrote.

Zachary Hartwell, the passenger who was killed, was a recently married Navy SEAL who served 3 tours of duty in Iraq.
