The resemblence is uncanny, but there is NO comparison in the quality of their minds and the clarity of their thinking. See, for instance:
Dixie Lee Ray on socialism and radical environmentalism
...Oh, and Dixie Lee is much more handsome.

Those grapes sour?
I know man. This review makes me want to see the movie even more. Their South Park movie pratically made me pee my pants.
Trey and Matt actually had an episode that they titled "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods". Better known as the "plane-arium" episode.No doubt in my mind at all. I thought of that as soon as I saw the title of this thread.In the episode the head of the planetarium gave the following line:
"Now stars are actually made of hot gas, which is exactly what comes out of Roger Ebert's a$$."
Perhaps that explains why Ebert only gave Team America one star

I'm not sure, but I think you owe the Governor an apology.
Oooh. I was waiting for this review. If he says it that bad it must be great. I'm going.
Stephen Hunter who writes for the WaPo (and is also the author of the Bob Lee Swagger and Earl Swagger novels) received a Pulitzer for his movie criticism last year.
Nah, a BRO!
I'm so going. Twice. Then I'll buy the DVD.
Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods
FYI Ebert the liberal avenger gets a load a dough from the Illinois casino business thru his wife, some lawyer hack with connections.

I used to revere Ebert's reviews, but politics aside, the clarity, wit and insight which used to characterize them as pretty much vaporized over the last few years. His recent bouts of ill health doubtless have much to do with it.

(In other news, Chaz Ebert seems to have a hard time remembering what he does for a living, having listed VOLUNTEER, ATTORNEY, CONSULTANT, SELF EMPLOYED, SELF EMPLOYED/ATTORNEY, N/A/HOMEMAKER
& GENERAL COUNSEL as his various professions.)
Thanks. I didn't know about Stephen Hunter. I've got to get off this forum and get out more. 8~)
"I wasn't offended by the movie's content so much as by its nihilism. At a time when the world is in crisis and the country faces an important election, the response of Parker, Stone and company is to sneer at both sides -- indeed, at anyone who takes the current world situation seriously."
Newsflash, Ebert: It's a comedy.
Leftists can't stand anything that isn't propaganda for their side.
Ebert is a dem shill. If he likes a movie, I always hate it.
