Roger Ebert Makes Fat Jokes After Limbaugh's Hospital Visit

In a demonstration of Hollywood's quintessentially intolerant hatred of conservatives, film critic Roger Ebert took to the Twitterverse on Saturday to mock Rush Limbaugh and his sudden trip to a Hawaii hospital (h/t Big Hollywood headlines).

Ebert was hardly alone in rejoicing Limbaugh's hospital visit--and distressed when he was given a clean bill of health.

Roger Ebert is SOOOOO fat....

Roger Ebert is SOOOOO fat....

Mostly between his ears.

Lets show the same class and hope Ebert gets what killed his foil Siskel.

Sauce for the goose...

[bereanway]

I thought Ebert was dead

[svcw]

So a currently really fat guy is making fun of a formally fat guy. Weird.

[bigcat32]

Roger Ebert is SOOOOO fat....

that when he sits around the house.....he sits AROUND the house.

[Trod Upon]

It’s strange how vicious leftists become when they realize their relevance is fading away.

[Beaten Valve]

I’ve got Roger Ebert on my “2010 Dead Pool List”...

[beethovenfan]

Ebert IS a fat joke.

[truthguy]

I thought Ebert was dead

He's only brain dead.

This is hilarious considering Ebert is the one who is fat so is he joking about his own fat @$$ or what?

Here's another kook writing for Belief.net:

The astrology of Rush Limbaugh's hospital scare

You see there are "there are inner conflicts between astrological signatures of conservatism (predominance of earth signs, Saturn) and signatures of liberal mindedness (air signs, Uranus) . . ."

that when he sits around the house.....he sits AROUND the house.

he's so fat, his toes look like people...

[frankenMonkey]

Hey, did you hear the one about the fat porn screenplay writer who couldn’t open his mouth anymore...?

[SparkyBass]

Ebert so fat he got gravity.
Lesser critic orbit ‘round his butt.

[Round 9]

What’s amusing is that this guy holds any stature at all. He’s a movie critic! What an insignificant waste of a life. When he’s on his deathbed, I wonder if he’ll actually realize what a vacuous, inconsequential path he’s chosen or will he continue to delude himself with thoughts that he mattered to anyone but himself.

[nonliberal]

Ebert hasn’t died yet?

[kittykat77]

To be fair, only one of the jokes is a fat joke. The others have to do with other stuff, like Rush's genitalia. This one I thought was actually funny:

Rush: Stuck in this hospital room watching TV, I really miss Lou Dobbs. All the Oriental nurses are U.S. citizens, though.

[freekitty]

Is he still around?

[capt. norm]

Roger Ebert is SOOOOO fat....

When Ebert hauls a$$ he has to make two trips.
