Add George Clooney As Adviser Number 301 To Barack Obama
I can see him giving him advice on public speaking, but Middle East Policy? Oh, wait, didn’t he make a movie? Nevermind, that more than qualifies him! Carry on:
Sources say the actor has tried to hide the pair’s friendship for fear his Left-wing views and playboy image would hurt the Presidential hopeful’s bid for the White House.
But Democratic Party insiders have revealed that Clooney and Obama regularly send texts and emails to each other and speak by phone at least twice a week.
One said last night: ‘They are extremely close. A number of members of the Hollywood community, including Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, offered to help raise funds for Barack but it was with George that he struck up this amazing affinity.
‘George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East.
‘George is pushing him to be more “balanced” on issues such as US relations with Israel.
‘George is pro-Palestinian. And he is also urging Barack to withdraw unconditionally from Iraq if he wins.
What’s worse: Clooney giving the advice or Obama actually taking the advise?

Obama already has an oversupply of idiots as I see it. That, plus his own ignorance and established long list of gaffes and mindless utterings doesn’t seem to indicate any need for one more idiot.

(Yawn.) A Hollywood actor who thinks he understands foreign policy… since when is that news?

So you do you feel if your story is completely false?

Of course, I doubt the truth ever affects your perceptions.

Okay, so Clooney says this is not true and Dennis Miller says Clooney’s a straight shooter so I take back the idiot thing.
Jonathan, chill. Never was a big deal anyway.
