Damn, Chris just dissed Liberace real bad....

[WCGreen]

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.

[virgogal]

1. What did he say?

[WCGreen]

2. He said Palin, like Liberace, is laughing all the way to the bank...

[tonysam]

3. He can't even get the quote right.

Liberace said he "cried all the way to the bank."

[eleny]

6. At least Chris said she made her money from "hate speeches"

He got that one right.

[Toasterlad]

11. Exactly.

Stupid Tweety.

[gmoney]

15. Yeah, that's Glenn Beck's line.

[CTyankee]

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...

[virgogal]

8. Thanks.

[damntexdem]

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.

[WCGreen]

7. he was a great piano man....

I remember being mesmerized by his playing back when I was a kid.

[virgogal]

9. Remember the candelabra ?

[tonysam]

12. Remember "Sincerely Yours"?

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.

[virgogal]

16. You're right,I don't remember it. I do remember George,though.

[tonysam]

17. About a year or so ago, somebody posted the movie on YouTube

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:

Sincerely Yours Review

[virgogal]

18. Thanks,

[WCGreen]

20. I remember that...

He use to end with Keep Smiling, if I have that right...

[tonysam]

21. In this episode from 1955, he sings "I'll Be Seeing You."

The Liberace Show, Part 5 of 5

He is seen in this part playing ragtime piano.

[eShirl]

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.

[Cirque du So-What]

13. Unlike the Wasilla Quitta, Liberace had real talent

He was also a helluva nice guy, as opposed to the shrieking harpy in question.

[joeybee12]

14. Yup! I feel like writing to Matthews over this...he's such an ass...n/t

[deaniac21]

19. Political TV shows are a total waste of time.

[Grand Taurean]

22. Liberace: One of the greatest piano players ever known.

Sarah Palin: A half-term bigoted quitter.
