Clooney in anti-war protest

 
Clooney says the US Government should talk, not act

Actor George Clooney has spoken out against a possible US invasion of Iraq, accusing President George W Bush of running the US Government "like the Sopranos".
Speaking on the PBS television network, Clooney said Mr Bush and his cabinet were behaving like Big Tony and his mobster family in the TV show.

Clooney accused the President of cutting a deal with France and Russia to ensure the UN Security Council will not complain when "we go into a war and kill a lot of innocent people".

"Are we going to try and talk to Saddam Hussein...without jumping in and killing people first?" he said.

"You make a lot of films, do you?" Clooney asked rhetorically. "You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk!"

To which I would reply....You work on alot of foreign policy issues, do you? You make alot of decisions that effect world events? Yeah, I'd like to see you make some of those decisions before you goet to talk about them. What a Jerk!

Well, if Bush is successful in Iraq, those dummies are going to look even stupider than they already do, so I hope like hell he'll be successful.

Yeah, I know they are childish and not worth more than a laugh. Still it gets to me that they put on an air of superiority when spouting their leftist idiocy. Do they not notice that leftist philosophy has resulted in more human suffering and death than all the tragedies in history combined?

George Clooney is hilarious!
I still laugh when I remember his spotlight chasing during the princess Diana death watch.

Everytime I turned on the TV there would be a Diana update followed by George Clooney shouting "the Paparazi were chasing me too!"

Georgie is a true clown and we should give him the respect he deserves...LMAO!!!

Actually, the Hollyweirdos can be hit hard by not attending their movies or paying for a PPV with them in it or buying their VHS/DVD releases. But, to really hit them, massive copying and distribution of their works will do more than anything to harm their viability. Even spreading the knowledge of how to rip their content with Tivos or ReplayTV units or by using DVD ripping programs takes a direct hurt on Hollyweird and their entire profit/celebrity machine.

It's the money. And a lot of that money will end up in the pockets of Democrats. When their profitability is lowered, they will eventually be restrained.

Think about the subversion of their market model. It's what's already happening to the audio CD market, no matter what they're attempting with DMCA laws and the upcoming DRM measures.

His career must be tanking as the real stars don't do this until their careers tank.

These pompous, uninformed Hollyweirdos all say exactly the same thing and yet they each think they are being so clever. I imagine the air way up there in those ivory towers must be very low on oxygen.

If even half the accusations by (C)looney were true, he would be the first "casualty!!"

Nothing says ignorant like a pretty boy who got his job name dropping his mom and "squealing like a pig" on the casting couch, if you know what I mean (and I think you do....).
