The LA Times has this article protraying George Clooney as this astute political animal and observer. Their proof? Well…
He subscribes to two newspapers and can quote the top political
columnists. He remembers the dialogue from old political debates, and
he does a great impersonation of Democratic strategist James Carville.
Dude, he subscribes to two newspaper. TWO! And he can quote what people say in them too. No wonder the newspaper is impressed. As one of my friends put it, by Hollywood standards that makes him a freakin genius.
Clooney for President anyone?

why not ? does that make a difference ? I am looking for the first lady 😆
I’d vote for him in a HEARTBEAT. And move to DC. And sneak into the White House…
Man, he is soooo deep!
Hmmmm, Reagan was a president with crappier resume. Arnold’s a governor. What’s your point, Sandmonkey?
Also his father is a journalist, so perhaps that might have something to do with it, dontcha think?
These ‘Holywood types’ make me laugh! Who the hell do they think they are? The vast majority of these people need to stick to acting and leave the politics to smarter people.
What qualifies Clooney for politics? His looks? Ocean’s 11? Maybe he could make Rosie O’Donnel his running mate?
I do no subscribe to a single newspaper and I am no Hollywood type either.
Can anyone be worst than that?
#4 Dave…
Ummm… Reagan was Governor of California before he was President. But I guess he probably earned less in his movies than Clooney, so maybe you’re right. Clooney is obviously more qualified by reading 2 whole papers, than someone who was actually involved with politics.
Monkey no offense meant with this next statement:
If a dude in Egypt is noticing and laughing, well, what does that say?
Trav:
Being in Egypt means nothing. Sandmonkey lived in the States for 5 years and I think he moved back to Egypt only couple of years ago. I know plenty of guys who don’t live in the Western hemisphere who know more about Hollywood, western way of life etc. than majority of the people living here.
Everybody and their mother has opinion about politics. Clooney is no different than you or me when it comes to having an opinion. I can say the same thing about every frickin blogger out there who posts something about politics or world issues, leave it to the smart people. Half the ranting are full of shit. But I am not going to say that. The whole point is you should have the right to say whatever you want to say, even if its retarded.
Unlike you or me Clooney gets a bigger platform to say his stuff, even if he is full of shit. Half the time I think the Sandmonkey is full of shit (no offense Sandmonkey) and compared to the posters here and based on the amount of traffic he gets here, his platform to say his stuff is bigger than most bloggers. So should I say the Sandmonkey should stick to doing what he know best. Nah, say whatever the hell you want Sandmonkey.
“Everybody and their mother has opinion about politics. Clooney is no different than you or me when it comes to having an opinion. I can say the same thing about every frickin blogger out there who posts something about politics or world issues, leave it to the smart people.”
This is true, but…
Clooney(s) have audience and influence because of their celebrity status and not necessarily because of their deep knowledge of the subject at hand.
There is nothing wrong with having an opinion and voicing it. It is wrong is when “average Joe’s” opinion becomes a fact simply because said “average Joe” happens to be a celebrity.
George Clooney, F.A.G.
umm it was Alec Baldwin who was the leader of F.A.G. perhaps he should be on the top of the ticket.
Clooney for President anyone?
why not, we is already more brains than Reigan!
“why not, we is already more brains than Reigan!”

To the Reagan cheapshotters in the audience, influenced no doubt by the media that wanted and still wants to portray him as an actor dunce, may I suggest you read a speech of his, written by him, from 1964:
http://www.reaganfoundation.org/reagan/speeches/rendezvous.asp
Mark his words, among many worth marking: “…they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer–not an easy answer–but simple.”
Have a nice day, and sleep tight.
mikek – LOL!! 🙂
Well atleast he did graduate from high school unlike alot of the often quoted Stars and uhhh he did go to university and has a theater degree. Yep, 2 whole news papers! LOL

And Dave, I suppose I misread your sarcasm… if so, sorry. As for the Monkey here having lived in the U.S., yes I know. But he is in B.F.E. and he gets how hard the paper is reaching to say how awesome Clooney is.
People,
I keep reading comments to the effect that Clooney reads “two whole papers.” In fact, he reads “two papers.” Any implication that he reads them cover-to-cover is unsupportable. He probably reads the horoscopes and the funnies.
Trav;
No offense taken.
BJ, that’s cheap , when you only look at “play-boys” babes, may-be you could do something for the one with a mother theresa mood
