   So now he’s communicating with a renowned Hollywood blowhard about policy every day? Those McCain celebrity ads were right on the money!

   They should make a new one about this budding bro-mance.

   This is very sad. I LOVE George Clooney. Would marry him if I could. Hearing that he supports Obama is heartbreaking!

   If only good looks would translate into common sense. He’d be a Republican in no time.

   George, you’re breaking my heart!

   Just a side note.

   I thought that Angelina Jolie was holding out her decision as far as voting for either of the candidates. I wonder what Brad thinks about that?

   And her dad???? I suppose they don’t let him around the grandkids so he doesn’t “poison” their minds. You know Jon Voigt isn’t an Obama fan!

   McCain used the wrong celebs in his ad. I am so glad that George Clooney is a foreign policy expert. I realize Reagan was an actor, but he also honed his skills prior to being president.

   I can’t wait to hear who is giving Obama’s tax policy . I’m thinking Danny Glover and Sean Penn must be in consideration for the CIA. Kathy Griffin is probably the advisor for Health & Humans Serivces. Ed Begley Jr. will be reprising his role in St. Elsewhere as the Surgeon General or the Interior Department.

    ‘Clooney told me he feels Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    Are you kidding me? This guy goes through “once in a lifetime” democrat candidates like he goes through Giorgio Armani spring collections:

    2004 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Kerry is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    2000 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Gore is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1996 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Clinton II is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1992 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Clinton I is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1988 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Dukakis is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1984 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Mondale is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1980 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Carter II is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    1976 – ‘Clooney told me he feels Carter I is a once-in-a-lifetime leader.’

    …blah, blah, blah.

    George Clooney, already one of Hollywood’s leading liberal voices, has embarked on what may be one of his most controversial projects: the story of Osama bin Laden’s driver.

    Clooney and his venture capitol backers seem to be drawn to the subject and money pits of films. If he were a mainline business entrepreneur he’d be a top-of-the-list pariah.

    Obie, being so close to Clooney gives us a good sense of his (lack of) judgment capabilities. And this guy wants to be Pres.

    As November draws nearer, Obie’s judgment (in)abilities become more in focus. Obie thinks Clooney must be smart, I mean, look how good looking he is.

    As I blogged in George & Barry’s Tone Deaf Duet:

    That Obama is choosing to chin it up with the Left Coast elites isn’t the problem – it’s not as if the Stupid Party’s candidates don’t cuddle up to their own monied bases – it’s the choice of location for this shindig that bespeaks a tone-deafness as to how this will appear. To wit: WASN’T THERE ANYPLACE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THAT THIS PARTY COULD BE HELD?!?!?!?

    Just as Hillary! had to outsource her theme song to Canada, Obama and Clooney can’t find a suitable American spot to hold this party? Is Aspen, Hawaii (where BO grew up), Montana, NYC, LA, Oprah’s place in Chicago, ANYWHERE not good enough for an American movie star to host a party for a guy who wants to be President of the United States?!?

    I care less about actors. Just because they can “act” they think, and the MSM agrees, that they are experts in everything. The trouble is, they know very little of history or politics. It’s amazing that they have enthusiastic support for candidates that will curtail their “free speech” as soon as they get into office, along with a lot of their fortune, in taxes. They forget about what a nanny state can do, and that they are part of the “evil rich”.

    This fits–one phony helping another. My favorite take on Hollywood comes from Ethel Barrymore: “The people are unreal. The flowers are unreal, they don’t smell. The fruit is unreal, it doesn’t taste of anything. The whole place is a glaring, gaudy nightmarish set, built up in the desert. …Half the people in Hollywood are dying to be discovered and the other half are afraid they will be.”

    Perhaps George Clooney can offer Obama advice on how to mock and ridicule political opponents who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

    Clooney stirred up controversy for remarks he made about Charlton Heston at a 2003 National Board of Review event:

    “The head of the NRA announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.”

    When asked if he went too far with his Alzheimer’s disease remarks, Clooney responded by saying:
    

    “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves whatever anyone says about him.“

    Granted, that jokes about John McCain’s Vietnam War incarceration or his occasional forgetfulness on the campaign trail aren’t as “hip” as mocking victims of Alzheimer’s disease…but maybe Clooney can help Obama with this.

    I agree with “tre”. Cars is a favorite in this house. I don’t see too many films out that would get me out to a theatre; perhaps, Traitor, simply because I like Jeff Daniels in dramatic roles. Any Clooney movie is a skip for me. Personally, if he was in the same room as me, I would try to avoid him. Working once with Mitch Snyder (CCNV), for 4 years, I had the chance to meet several actors/actresses. Most didn’t impress me. The worse was Cher. I had the chance to work with Martin Sheen, in “The Samaritian” and the play, “Voices from the Streets”. Nice guy,politics stink. The one I remember most was Katey Sagal. I got her a cup of coffee once, sat and chatted with her, without even knowing who she was…until someone told me later. They are just people, just like us, except some think they are special. In the medical field, I have to “act” sometimes, myself. Nothing special in acting. Of course, Clooney was born with a silver spoon anyway.

And, and Tim and Susan, why they can be like Sect’ys of well…I guess the Military things.
