Okay, not “versus” but– look, it was a nice title, okay?
Anyway, even though he and I don’t see eye to eye on the whole “videogames as art” debate, I’ve still loved Roger Ebert since I was a kid and first discovered his weekly film review show. I’ve never known him to be political, but then again, the things I don’t know about Roger Ebert could fill a library.
Today, suntimes.com has a piece up by Mister Ebert that is something of an open letter to McCain, asking just why the hell the good Senator couldn’t be bothered to make eye contact with Senator Obama throughout the entire debate.
What was your problem? Do you hold this man in such contempt that you cannot bear to gaze upon him? Will you not even speak to him directly?
Do you think he doesn’t have the right to be running for President?
