Ebert is like many liberals, who believe that (presumed) expertise in one area translates into expertise in all areas. Thus now we have his leftist mewlings on politics, when he should stick to movies.

But what really makes Ebert a world class horse’s ass is that he can’t keep his politics out of his film reviews. In his review of Iron Man, he somehow manages to include a round of Bush-bashing. If he reviews a movie which includes a nefariois business entity, he invariably compares it to Haliburton. And so on.

Is there anything good that has come out of Illinois? I mean, think about it: Al Capone, Roger Ebert, Oprah Winfrey, and b Hussein Obama.
