I don’t care for George Clooney’s politics, and I don’t respect him as a person. But I wouldn’t wish malaria on anyone. My dad had it growing up in the Deep Fork bottom of Okfuskee County, Oklahoma. I’m convinced I saw recurrences over the years, but Dad would never admit to it. He certainly wouldn’t have wanted to have it known on CNN. He had more respect for himself than that.
Well he did live in Green Country. But being from Hulbert I can’t recall malaria in anyone.
But the damn bugs in spring and summer are sometimes so dense you have stop your car every few miles to clean off the windshield.
I agree. I don’t like his politics, but he’s played some good roles. I wouldn’t wish malaria on anyone.

My dad (82nd Airborne) got malaria in north Africa; lost weight; almost died; recovered; returned to the front...
I don’t respect Clooney for his ignorant and divisive political stances, but in terms of Sudan, he is actually putting a lot of money (and time) where his mouth is. He talks a lot about Sudan, and he backs it up by funding programs for the people there. Where he loses me is when he talks about the federal government needing to spend more money there. Not. Our. Problem. I wouldn’t mind sending some money directly to a family in need, but funneling it through the government is the most inefficient type of aid I can imagine.
