Hello merry Lou: Cretinous NY Post critic loudly thwacks Roger Ebert on head with binder


Movie critics Lou Lumenick and Roger Ebert

By ED BARK
Maybe MSNBC's Keith Olbermann would like to declare at least a one-day moratorium on Bill O'Reilly and instead give his "Worst Person in the World" award to Lou Lumenick.

The head film critic of The New York Post inadvertently -- but reportedly unapologetically -- hit impaired Roger Ebert over the head with a binder during a screening at the Toronto Film Festival. It seems that Ebert, who's been battling throat and thyroid cancer and can't talk, was tapping Lumenick on the shoulder because he was blocking his view of the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

"Don't touch me!" Lumenick reportedly bellowed before eventually retaliating. The incident made its way into the Rush & Malloy column, published by the Post's NYC tabloid rival, The New York Daily News.

Ebert still reviews movies for the Chicago Sun-Times. Lumenick clearly isn't fit to even be a TV critic.
