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.'"

Not only is this dufus tacky, but extremely unfunny.

[Kozak]

Ebert. Two thumbs up. Your A@@.

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

[caver]

Roger A+Bert ought to stick to movie reviews.

Why is there a need to interject politics in movie reviews? No need to answer, just a rhetorical question.

[BuckyKat]

Rather offensive to the locals I would think. Stupid haole (Ebert).

[boop]

I can’t believe the fatass is making fat jokes. What a hypocrite.

[jyoders19]

Speak up, Roger, I can’t hear you!

[Da Coyote]

After reading his list of “10 best films of the decade,” decided his word is as good as is that of the Obamaloon.

[13Sisters76]

The jealousy of the hacks that attack Rush is pathetic. They would give ANYTHING to BE him. Too bad they haven’t the talent.

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

Touche'

[bayliving]

Well I'll give Ebert two middle fingers pointed high into the sky....

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

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

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Who knew that Ebert was still alive but, more importantly, who gives a damn?

[a fool in paradise]

"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!"

Roger Ebert got laid because director and Playboy photographer Russ Meyer bought him hookers, er ESCORTS.

[DemforBush]

Wow...that was some spectacularly unfunny (and tacky) stuff. I like many of Ebert’s film reviews (even when I disagree with him), but apparently his skill set does not extend to comedy or appropriateness.

What a dorkwad.

[TheVitaminPress]

Wow, with comedic wit of that magnitude it surely is a wonder that Ebert had to give up on writing such screen gems as “Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens” and turn to a life of commenting on those who were able to make it in the movie business legitimately.

[fish hawk]

Eburp is a sniveling queer that nobody like but other sniveling queers.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I actually felt sympathy for this dufus because he has no jaw, but screw him, he has the nerve to go after Rush. Hey Roger, if your boy Obama had it his way, instead of being treated for cancer, he would have sent your fatass home to die..how do you like them apples

[rightwingintelligentsia]

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

I wonder if any of his genius lefty pals managed to point out to Roger that Hawaii is not a country? And they think Palin is stupid . . .

[Maverick68]

And we were supposed to feel sorry for this fat piece of zhit?
Screw you, Ebert...
