We'll all have electric cars. If their usefulness to us doesn't exist any more, we won't have to blow up Sudan or Iraq or Saudi Arabia or Libya. Take away the want. Go back to our proper position in the world, which ain't running it. Yup. That's it. Don't kill people. Drive electric cars.

Moron. I guess he thinks that the wonderful “electricity” springs magically from the ether.

"Well, it didn't look like a two-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly."

I was flipping through the channels last night and came across that movie again. That line always cracks me up. He’s a total moron, but that movie is an all-time classic, and he somehow managed to be very funny it.

“Any of you fellas smithies? Or if not smithies, perhaps skilled in the metalurgical arts?”

I'm just a stoopid film star. Stooooopid, goofball film star."

Self awareness is half the battle in the twelve step program to overcome the disease of liberalism, George.

[MarkL]

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'?"

Because a "schmuck" is someone who says or something stupid... An "evil-doer" is someone who does evil. And yes, George, there IS such a thing as evil, although I realize that you, as a liberal, don't believe that there can be such a thing as an evil person. You don't like the idea that we should judge people by their actions: An evil person is one who does evil things, hense the term "evil-doer."

What would you call the person who forced his sons to watch the torture of political prisoners to "toughen them up?" What would you call the person who oders that political prisoner be forced to watch his wife raped, or his children tortured, just to "make a point?" What would you call a person who odered the gassing of entire villages?

George, YOU are a schmuck!

Ahhh, a week would hardly be complete for me without a press release from the George Clooney Global Think Tank.

[mykdsmom]

What a narcissistic nincompoop.

Yep, He was the guy that self educated beyond his inteligence. No acting there.

[skeeter]

"It's not my place. I'm not a big, like, yogi guy, I'm just a stoopid film star. Stooooopid, goofball film star."

And I don't want Fop. I'm a Dapper Dan man.

Well, isn’t this place the geographical oddity? Exactly two weeks from everywhere!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

He grew up in Kentucky, where hillbillies live and the cheeseburger was invented and all the boys are called Billy-Bob or Billy-Joe or Billy-Jim, with only about 15 surnames between the lot of them, and if you fell off your porch you'd squash four dogs and injure yourself on your pick-up truck.

No bias here!

First he took the lead in Three Kings, where it is impossible not to feel the depth of his personal disgust for the cynical hypocrisy of the Gulf War and for President Bush Mark 1's administrative weaselings.

Oy, I personally thought this was the worst movie I have ever seen. There is one scene in particular I will never forget. They're running away ... or something and they find themselves underground in a bunker which keeps going further down and down. Miraculously, they come upon a heap of CELLULAR PHONES! Eureka! And incredibly enough, the phones work! THEY'RE IN A BUNKER, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST, WAY, WAY underground and I'm supposed to believe that their CELL PHONES WILL WORK???? I can't even get a signal when I'm going through a tunnel! I know it's a small point, but this movie was just SOO STUPID.

[Alas Babylon!]

First of all, if he's so anti-war, where was he when XRIPOTUS-42 was attacking Serbia, Bosnia, Sudan, or Afghanistan? Not a peep. So, Clooney's a hypocrite. He's NOT anti-war, he's anti-Bush/anti-Republican.

Secondly, he can "feel" anything he wants about his politics, but if he makes up facts, lies, or distorts, then he WILL be called for it. To bad he doesn't want anyone to go beyond his "cut-off point", but if you can't stand the heat, stay the %$^# out of the kitchen.

Finally, Clooney isn't that good of an actor, frankly. The comparisons to Sinatra are stupider than Clooney. No comparison!

[csmusaret]

I admit it. I'm stoooopid too. What the heck is soignee?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Clooney's folks had distinguished themselves from the common herd before he was born.

Sorry. This is America. All are created equal.

[JohnMac]

And I don't want Fop. I'm a Dapper Dan man.

That's fine, but the question is: "are you bonafide"?

[dyed_in_the_wool]

But Clooney's a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, a liberal like his dad.

TWO dain-bramaged people in one family?
And what's with using my nick?
