Ebert Gives Thumbs Down to Rush (Triple Barf)

Have no doubt about it: Film critic Roger Ebert is no fan of Rush Limbaugh. The unabashed liberal reeled off a series of one-liners on Twitter against the radio talk show host over the weekend, in the wake of Limbaugh's hospital visit due to chest pains.

A sampling:

"Rush: Hawaii is the only country where the Hawaiian shirts come in S, M, L, XL, Rush, and Sumo."

"Rush: Nurse at snack time: 'You have nuts?' 'No!' 'You have dates?' 'Hey, if I had nuts, I'd have dates!' Ah...Har! Har! Har!"

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

"Rush: Our US health care system is the best in the world. The nurses here in Hawaii keep offering me lays."

"Rush: 'They told me aloha means hello. Only now do they tell me it also means goodbye. Everybody keeps using it around me.'"

Ebert’s still alive? Who knew?

I know Ebert is just a pompous little film critic; but, who knew he was so pathetically petty and immature? He must have been in his cups to have thought that was remotely funny.

Making jokes about appearances? Lets look at recent photos of Ebert and his wife and Rush.

Yikes....Ebert looks like a lezbo in that pic.

Ebert's kiss-ass partner was enjoying himself as well >>> After Rush Limbaugh was hospitalized last week with chest pains, TMZ.com ran a poll asking for a "yes" or "no" to the sentiment, "Get well soon." Of course, what would you expect from "professional" movie reviewers.

Didn’t Ebert have heart problems?

Making fun of someone in the hospital for heart problems? Roger, karma can be cruel.

[faucetman]

OMG, is that really Ebert? He is wearing a suit from 100 pounds ago. He used to be fatter than his wife. Repent little man, while you still have time. Doesn't look like you have much.

[skully]

Hey Roger, which chin did you use to spew your hatred of someone with more skill and talent in one finger then in your whole body??

I mean Rush actually has a profession. Not everyone can do what Rush does, just about anybody can do what you do.

If I had no employable skills, and could lay around watching movies all day...I'd be a movie critic too.

[magslinger]

He has always been a reliable reviewer. He raves about movies I would not like to see. He pans movies I like.

If I had never heard of Rush Limbaugh, I would definitely be looking into him.

[Kieri]

Well, now we know Ebert is qualified to run for the next available senate seat in Minnesota.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Does anyone still listen to Ebert? He is so early 1980s...

[massgopguy]

Hey Ebert, ever hear the one about the senator from MA with brain cancer?

[1776 Reborn]

“Hey Roger! I have a whole bunch of funny jokes about thyroid cancer and jaw disfigurement. Want to hear them?”

My thoughts exactly. The guy looks like Popey for one!

[skully]

Roger Ebert (aka The Fat One...) is making fat jokes.

He's probably mad he can only fit into the “Sumo” size, and wishes he could slim down to a “Rush”.

Maybe if he farted out of his ass instead of his mouth

[chris37]

Roger, I can’t wait to make fun of your inevitable heart attack, you fat ass.

[skully]

Ebert’s still alive? Who knew?

Who cares??

[MBB1984]

I always thought Ebert was an effeminate, fat bastard.

[JenB987]

Wow...obsessed much? Me thinks Ebert protests too much.

I guess Roger must not believe in karma, because dude has one foot in the grave already...

[Dionysius]

Ebert sucks as a critic. Cre*ms in his jeans over all the liberal crap (Cider House Rules), but pans unmercifully anything that doesn’t fit into his agenda (Bella). He’s one of the most worthless pile of foul mystery matter the world has ever seen.
