Damn, Chris just dissed Liberace real bad....
Comparing Palin to him...

Liberace was so good he made it as a villain on the old Batman series.

Sarah plain and terse couldn't pass the audition.

Chris, I think you owe Liberace an apology.

3. He can't even get the quote right.
Liberace said he "cried all the way to the bank."

6. At least Chris said she made her money from "hate speeches"
He got that one right.

4. Well, I get what he was trying to say but I feel sorry for the memory of Liberace.
I thought he was sweet. Palin is a monster...

5. Why is he tickling Liberace's ivories?
And Palin's fancy pageant walking and flute tooting don't hold a candle to Liberace's piano extravaganzas.

12. Remember "Sincerely Yours"?
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 04:45 PM by tonysam
Probably not. It was Liberace's dramatic film debut--and farewell. Liberace, a concert pianist, faces going deaf while at the same time fighting off the love of two women--Joanne Dru and Dorothy Malone.

It isn't quite as bad as some make it, however.

17. About a year or so ago, somebody posted the movie on YouTube
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 04:55 PM by tonysam
for a few weeks before taking it down. I downloaded it and put it on my iPod.

It was out on VHS, but to my knowledge it has never been out on DVD although Amazon has some "all-region" versions on its website.

I used to watch Liberace's 15-minute syndicated program when it aired many, many years ago.

In case you never get a chance to see the movie, here is a blow-by-blow account:

23. I do remember Bugs Bunny's impersonation of Liberace, with that candelabra
it's supposed to be somewhere in this cartoon:


"Wideo Wabbit" (1956)

10. How dare Matthews pee on Liberace's grave like that!
Several years back I watched a PBS special about Liberace. The man was so awesome and talented. Now some self-righteous absent-minded cable TV political pundit tries to be funny by referencing both a talentless politician and a talented pianist in the same sentence.

13. Unlike the Wasilla Quitta, Liberace had real talent
He was also a helluva nice guy, as opposed to the shrieking harpy in question.

22. Liberace: One of the greatest piano players ever known.
Sarah Palin: A half-term bigoted quitter.
