Roger Ebert: Sarah Palin: This will be on the test

Chicago Sun-Times ^ | September 14, 2008 | Roger Ebert

[EveningStar]

I watched Sarah Palin's interview with Charles Gibson, and felt uneasiness stirring in my stomach. The feeling did not involve politics. Somehow it was personal. Gradually, memories churned to the surface...

[EveningStar]

I think the word "elitist" is in danger of being overused. However, I'm going to use it any. He's just another liberal elitist. :)

[Army Air Corps]

Roger, stick to reviewing movies.

[pabianice]

Gun control. She opposes it. Gibson observed that a majority of Americans support a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons. She praised the tradition of gun ownership in Alaska, mentioning protection, hunting, and sport. With machine guns?

Ebert is either a liar, willfully ignorant, or a moron. Choose at least one.

[Petronski]

...and felt uneasiness stirring in my stomach...

That wasn't uneasiness, Roger, it was a 25 meter tape worm named Buford.

[stockpirate]

Rodger is being reminded of Mondale’s loss and it is making him sick.

[raccoonradio]

Roger, I hated, hated, HATED this article.

[massgopguy]

Roger, remember what happened to you on Animaniacs when you panned Slappy Squirrel.

Roger kind of looks like a moose, so it's no wonder he felt uncomfortable........

[LibLieSlayer]

“gay cancer” has eaten his pea brain.

STOP EATING!

Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert

Roger, while real men aren't intimidated by her, I can sorta see why she might trouble you.

[DogBarkTree]

I thought Ebert had died of Acute Impacted Gerbil Syndrome.

[95 Bravo]

He’s no better at that than he is at political commentary.

[Mac from Cleveland]

FTA: "I was in class. I had been asked to answer a specific question. I could not"./ The question the teacher asked Ebert was: "What are you doing with 50 Sara Lee cheesecakes in your locker"?

[LakeLady]

Isn’t he that chubby movie reviewer who looks so goofy and sounds even goofier?

[polymuser]

I tend to think Palin reminded our young neoliberals of their working moms, and Gibson reminded them of the kind of dad you wouldn’t want even if you don’t have one.

[Trajan88]

Sounds like Ebert has a case of Michael Medved envy... Ebert needs to go get that checked out else he’ll implode.

[jackv]

Suddenly everybody needing a headline pipes in on Palin. Lets see, in addition to the usual suspects we’ve now heard from the brilliant minds of:
Lindsey Lohan, Rosanne Barr, Matt Damon, Susan Sarandon, Pamela Anderson, Madonna, and now Roger Eberts.

Wow...The more they speak out the more I realize how right we are.
Keep it up, freaks.

[boycott]

Maybe Roger will give us a review on this interview?

[Boonie]

A SEMI-AUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPON???? Anyone who would try to “assault” a position with a semi-automatic is a fool...

BTW, A machine gun is a fully automatic weapon....

Please Ebert...Try and gain a little knowledge of the topic you wish to write upon...You might sound a little less FOOLISH....

[BornToBeAmerican]

...Ebert is either a liar, willfully ignorant, or a moron. Choose at least one...

How about...

a) Liar
b) Willfully Ignorant
c) A Moron
d) All of the Above

I choose "D"

[itsthejourney]

Seems I truly enjoy movies that critics hate.

[Justice4Reds]

Thanks, Rog, ... in case any of us where wondering why other critics are literally bitch-slapping you!

[rjsimmon]

Awesome! He must have waited to say something until Lindsay Lohan viewed her opinions.

I am so relieved that I do not have to think. The Hollywood establishment does it all for me!

Has Oprah said that Gov. Palin makes her ill? That would clench it for me. I mean, the High Priestess has to say something before I can mimic what I really believe.

[Mamzelle]

Don’t you wish sometimes that you could vote for media leaders? I’d love to vote these condescending elitists out of their offices.

[areukiddingme1]

“The question the teacher asked Ebert was”

After you reading your post — I couldn’t help but thinking of my favorite line from Full Metal Jacket (language);

[Nathan Zachary]

What’s a semi-automatic “assault” weapon? It would be pretty useless, whatever it is.
Media makes up these names to scare the dumb sheeple.

You’d want an “assault” weapon to be fully automatic to knock down a herd of terrorists running towards you, no?

[Mac from Cleveland]

Sorry-goofed on the first post FTA: "I was in class. I had been asked to answer a specific question. I could not".

The question the teacher asked Ebert was: "What are you doing with 50 Sara Lee cheesecakes in your locker"?

[Hot Tabasco]

Ebert is either a liar, willfully ignorant, or a moron. Choose at least one.

Every multiple choice question I've ever had always had a "D" - all of the above......

[Nathan Zachary]

Ebert likes movies with lots of gay kissing and between the sheet action. He almost had an orgasm reviewing that Brokeback mountain cowboy show.

[rising tide]

I think Roger is having a hard time being honest with himself. Worrying that Governor Palin doesn't know the answers to Charles Gibsons questions is a pure smoke screen to cover what he and the Left truly despise. Sara Palin is a devout Christian and a conservative and that is exactly what causes Rogers problems with her.
Roger you way out of your depth when you write on politics.

[Zakeet]

I thought Ebert had died of Acute Impacted Gerbil Syndrome.

For what it is worth, Ebert has been married for some time to his wife Chaz (shown above) and once Oprah Winfrey.

[txzman]

LOL! That is one of the funniest damn picutres I have seen of anyone! Ebert is just another gay lib who has his panties (literally) in a wad.

He wouldn’t know which end of a gun to pick up.

[brytlea]

Abortion rights? "I am pro-life but respect other peoples' opinions." Would she respect the opinions of others if choices were substituted for opinions?

No one who says they respect other people's opinions respect all of their choices. That is simply a stupid question. Ebert thinks his audience is equally stupid. Thankfully, I'm not his audience.

Roger, you’ve been sick. You just can’t eat the way you used to. No matter how much you love breaded fried baby.

By the way, what is it about entertainment critics (Roger, his former partner in crime Rich Roeper, and Frank Rich foremost in my mind) that makes them think people are just itching to read their opinions on politics?

[thecabal]

Yes, I think “disgusting fatbody” describes Ebert pretty well.

[DogBarkTree]

Fag hags.

[jobim]

This is the fun of the internet era. All of a sudden a photo like this one is found and posted, with a hilarious comment. Thanks, you Vixen, you.

[Zakeet]

Correction: For what it is worth, Ebert has been married for some time to his wife Chaz (shown above) and once dated Oprah Winfrey.

Please pardon the senior moment reflected in the original post.

[EveningStar]

He was like this before he had cancer.

As far as I know, he has thyroid cancer, probably terminal, and it’s not AIDS related.

[Defiant]

Liberal, atheist, from Chicago, fat....

Of course he hates Palin. Duh. Ebert and Michael Moore should form their own party.

[al_c]

Roger, stick to reviewing movies.

It was a movie. It had to be ... it certainly wasn't an interview.

[Snardius]

For what it is worth, Ebert has been married for some time to his wife Chaz (shown above) and once Oprah Winfrey.

He was once married to Oprah Winfrey...?!?

[Tribune7]

His heart broke when he learned that Deliverance wasn’t a documentary.

[Dionysius]

Roger Ebert and Michael Moore are the same person.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Joseph Goebbels was a film reviewer.
Leni Riefenstahl was a director.

[hometoroost]

He sounds heterophobic to me.

[brytlea]

He was once married to Oprah?

[brytlea]

Thanks for the correction! I was WAY confused!
