People Magazine’s November double issue named George Clooney “The Sexiest Man Alive” for the second time (1997 was the first). While I like looking at Clooney as much as the next girl, when he opens his mouth, all I can see is Michael Moore.
If Michael Moore is a dumbed-down Noam Chomsky (and he is), George Clooney is a dumbed-down Michael Moore. And that’s not sexy.
Call me old-fashioned, but one trait I’ve always looked for in a man is that he be more intelligent than I am. And more manly.
But when I see George Clooney, all I can think about is that, in the midst of a jihad declared against us, his last two movies were a film about Joe McCarthy, and “Syriana” — which is being used as a recruitment tool for suicide bombers, as “Path to 9/11” scribe Cyrus Nowrasteh reported being told in Morocco. Incidentally, Nowrasteh is just as easy on the eyes as Clooney. (Handsome + not kissing terrorist butt = HOT.)
Men are supposed to be protectors, not endangerers, and not only does Clooney help recruit terrorists, but he’s scared of the Second Amendment — which means he wouldn’t even be able to defend a woman from an armed intruder.
The Power Line blog described “Syriana” as “mind-numbingly dumb,” explaining it as taking the position that “suicide bombers are good, America is controlled by corrupt oilmen, and the United States is the force that stands in the way of Middle Eastern democracy.” Charles Krauthammer called the film “a pathological variety that burns with the certainty of its malign anti-Americanism.”
If America is the ultimate cowboy state, and you’re anti-American, that’s just not masculine. Cowboyishness aside, one thing real men know is that evil exists. But here’s Clooney on evil:
They tell us we’re going to war and no one’s saying ‘Bullshit’ loud enough. And the language! Listen to the language! ‘Evil.’ ‘Evil’? ‘Nexus of evil’? ‘Evil-doer’? That’s my favorite, ‘evil-doer’!
There may be room for debate on the current Iraq war, but someone who takes a dark view even of the first Gulf War that got Hussein out of Kuwait, as Clooney did with “Three Kings” in 1999, is just a pansy.
I know, I know: he’s a lover, not a fighter, right? If I had to choose, I’d take the latter. A fighter is usually also a lover, but a lover is often not a fighter. And if a man can’t form a fist when appropriate, then he shouldn’t be allowed to form an erection.
Add to the lover a desire for a more socialized America — a craving for a government that takes care of us cradle to grave — and what you have is an infant.
As a woman, I can’t be attracted to a man if I’ve got the bigger schvantz.
Thefighting men who are out there risking their lives on America’s side — and using guns to do it — would be surprised to know that a man who partially attributed John Kerry’s 2004 defeat to himself not riding in the candidate’s cross-country train is even the same gender. They barely see John Kerry as being the same gender.
Good for Clooney that he is “proud to be out of touch” with the country, as he said in his acceptance speech at the Oscars this year. Because any woman who appreciates a real man will stay out of touch with Clooney.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Clooney isn't really interested in protecting, anyway. He has publically said that he sees no reason to marry, as he has more fun single.
Protect? Why do that? Just get a replacement.

Clooney may look like a pre-maturely middle-aged man but psychologically he seems more like a man stuck in adolesence -- wanting to have conquest yet unable or unwilling to maintain a long-term COMMITMENT. Think Freud would call this immature fixation in the early genetile stage of development.
Please go easy on George today. His long-time pet pig, Max, just died at eighteen years old.
Who's George Cloony?
Shows how 'in touch' I am!
"As a woman, I can’t be attracted to a man if I’ve got the bigger schvantz."
Gotta love this girl!
I'd have to argue that one. He was great in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
Julie Gorin knows what a real man is.
I think he uses women as beards.
Amen, sister!
She nailed it! Give me strong and fighting man over the likes of George Clooney anyday!
!
That's my opinion too!
Recently I heard/read a quote **paraphrasing**....that he'd like to date a different girl each night....but he'd really like to walk on the beach with Leonardo DiCaprio and I think he said swap kisses or something.
Yeah, he might have been going for the outrageous....or he might have been pointing to the truth.
That's one of my favorite movies and I hate that he's in it. :( I can't watch it as often since his mug is in it! But it is good...... "We thought you was a horny toad!!
This would be tagline material if I wouldn't have to explain the cntext...
Well, it's easy when you don't have to act... the character was a slick-talking idiot who got away with stuff because of a nice flashy smile.
It's like saying Keanu Reeves was brilliant in The Matrix for getting the "deer in the headlights" look perfectly... iy's his natural state.
LOL! Very true, I would never trust being on a date with a man who would take more time in the mirror than me...or who would prove himself to be an idiot every time he opened his mouth!
Call me old-fashioned, but one trait I’ve always looked for in a man is that he be more intelligent than I am. And more manly.
Amen to that! I want a REAL man, which is why I married my husband:0)
Who did the voting? Elton John, George Michael and Boy George?
Everyone knows that the sexiest man alive is Mike Rowe, from "Dirty Jobs." Smart, darn good-looking, and willing to work and get dirty.
Give him 10 years and a few pounds, then we'll see. Remember what happened to Alec Baldwin? He used to be handsome.
Ouch!!
But face it, George, the truth hurts.
George can always adopt Danny DeVito
Could there be a Swede in the Clooney family woodpile somewhere?
I can't claim to be all that smart but if you want someone thumped or something broken I'm your man.
I agree, no acting just being himself.
That movie is fabulous!
I heard that Clooney is gay. He's also short and has a head full of rocks. No thanks.
I think so, too. I watched it a couple of times and finally talked my husband into watching it with me after I went on and on about how great it was. He pretty much looked like a deer caught in headlights the entire time. Hahahaha
I respect a man who knows himself. There are so many men who shouldn't marry. At least Clooney is honest about it and the women he dates know it up front.
gay men shouldn’t marry woman, or parade them around as a front to appear hetero.
What a freak
someone really needs to tell him that...he thinks he is god’s gift to film
he came close to a bitch slap event with fabio...
fabio would have knocked the gayness right out of his impish LARGE ass
Hollywood has done more to destroy our image in the world than a million George Bushes ever could have done. Where do people get their ideas about America? From the movies we export. OH, and CNN International. I’m feeling really low tonight. Defeated. Totally defeated. If somebody wants to say something to cheer me up, it would be much appreciated.

Okay, George is a knucklehead...but the girliest man alive? Not when I see Lance Bass on “Dancing With The Stars”, wearing more eye makeup than his female dance partner.
