World's Worst Film Critic Endorses World's Biggest Celebrity

Roger L. Simon, who knows a thing or two about movies (and critics) is not happy with Ed Koch today:

As many recall, former NY Democratic mayor Ed Koch backed Bush in ’04. Now he’s endorsing Obama because Palin’s “book banning” scares him. Never mind it’s been thoroughly debunked. (Hello, Ed, the Harry Potter series was published after Palin supposedly banned it.) And never mind that McCain is far more of a centrist than Bush. We’re all entitled to our opinions and I’m entitled to mine: Ed Koch is the world’s worst film critic. Yes, the ex-mayor sends out endless movie reviews – which read like a refugee from the AARP lost in your high school paper – in an email barrage to anyone interested or, in my case, disinterested. I am going to exercise my right to never read another one and unsubscribe. [Didn’t you block them as spam over a year ago?-ed. Shh….]

Could the Simon/Koch feud take off in much the same way as the Prager/Lileks rumble?

(Nahh, probably not–but both would make for great video fodder for PJTV.)
