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.

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

He’s a total moron....

Exactly.

The news media in general and O'Reilly more specifically keep snowing readers and viewers with the idea that somehow this wealthy idiot needs to be held accountable.

Accountable for what? He's an idiot, period.

He is also a commodity that I refuse to purchase.

There are so many idiots in the 'entertainment" business: Martin Sheen, Barbra (or Barbar), Redford, etc. etc. etc.

Clooney's political views are comprised of the usual, superficial Hollywood political correctness. Nothing new there.

Having said that I must admit that he showed an unusual comic touch in "O' Brother Where Art Thou?". Maybe it was just a role that would come naturally to him: he was playing a man who thought he was much smarter than he actually was.
