Once Again, George Clooney Gives a Shit / Clooney for President
It’s very odd. The most horrific genocide in the past sixty years is developing, but nary a soul seems to give a damn. Where is Israel on this? Where is our Superhero, Al Gore?
No, only George Clooney is sounding off on the Darfur/Chad genocide. The man is meeting with the Egyptian government to plead for sanity. Unlike many eco-warriors, he clearly sees the link between the Darfur strife and environmental catastrophe AND he is willing to try to do something about it: ARTICLE LINK HERE
Call me crazy, but I’d cast my vote for Clooney before Gore any day of the week. Not to disparage Gore, but I feel that Clooney has more integrity.

Reagan was criticized by the left for being an actor, so why would anyone on the left endorse another actor? I don’t know much about Clooney and his convictions, but no one would be listening if he was not a celebrity.
Come on, Bobby! You loved Reagan!! Agreed, nary a soul would be listening were he not in a position to be heard. However, it could be that Clooney would have been a politician or a writer or an educator had he not chosen acting, so perhaps his views would have been heard. At least the man has convictions and researches them to make certain his views are educated. Too few in the public eye do the same. Wouldn’t you rather that our pop icons showed some interest in world events? Too many are vapid drones who garner far too much ink for far too little contribution.
Yes, I did like Reagan. However, Reagan began walking-the-walk thirty plus years before making a bid for the White House. He was one of the few actors to stand up to Hollywood’s communist infestation before even entering politics. He gained experiece as governor before considering the presidency.
With some seasoning, Clooney may prove to be a great future candidate. Time will tell…
