George Clooney... you think the Dixie Chicks are bad?
The Guardian (UK) ^

From George Looney

"It's the head guys who really tick me off. You dumb down at the top, so what does that do to the bottom? Who's going to stand up for us now? I just want someone smart to stand up and shout, 'Bullshit!' 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 favourite, 'evil-doer'! What's wrong with their vocabulary: couldn't they come up with 'schmuck'?"

"What did Bush do on 9/11? He ran away and hid. Even Reagan knew more about leadership than that, and he was as bad a symbol of America as I can think of, off-hand. But at least he's been in enough cowboy movies to know he had to come out and stand on top of the rubble and be seen shaking his fist or something."

Oh Geeze! This makes me furious. I was a big Clooney fan, and I do mean Big FAN! But now he is off my list of favorites forever.
What a moron he is! If Al Gore had been President on 911 the very same steps would have been taken with him. Bush did not run and hide, he was being protected as head of state, and I am sure Georgie knows this!

I believe the polite term is "clymer".

Ah, you remember him! He was the one playing himself in "Oh Brother, where are you".

A young Clooney got his start on TV at the age of 5, when he would appear on his father's talk-show, The Nick Clooney Show.

Although he went off to major in Broadcast Journalism at Northern Kentucky University, he always wanted to be a professional baseball player.

Clooney only turned to acting after he was rejected from a Cincinnati Reds tryout.

He got his start in commercials and in a horseracing film his cousin Ferrer was making. He finally got a break when he was cast in a medical comedy in 1984, incidentally named ER. He became known as an actor whose face was recognized, as he was in every TV show, but whose name remained unknown.

Clooney became most famous for his roles as the carpenter George on The Facts of Life from 1985 to 1987, and Roseanne's womanizing boss Booker, in Roseanne, from 1988 to 1989. He made appearances on The Golden Girls and Sisters, but was cast in a string of failed shows such as Combat High, Sunset Beat, Baby Talk, and Bodies of Evidence.

Clooney was also appearing on the big screen, in campy films such as Return to Horror High and Grizzly II: The Predator in 1987, and Return of the Killer Tomatoes! in 1988

NOW MAY I SAY BULLSHIT!

Sure he could come up with schmuck, but he was talking about Hussein & company, not University of Kentucky dropouts who are sons of Cincinnati television personalities and nephews of legendary singers.

LOL! Do the noises coming out of his mouth even make sense to him?

I could be wrong, but I thought his last name was Clowney.

Beg to differ.

Algore is on record, as of about March 27: "I never ever would've started this war."

And I can't believe Algore would've taken decisive action in Afghanistan, either. In fact, the "blue ribbon panel" appointed to recommend a course of action probably wouldn't have reported back yet...

I agree. He is acting more like a clowney every day. As Dirty Harry said: Man's got to know his limitations!

...fascinating insight into the mind of an idiot. I'm only sorry his looks betray his complete lack of brain skills. He is consistent though. I have yet to see him say anything that remotely resembles common sense and intelligence.
