George Clooney Running For President? Brad Pitt is urging him to do so...

Brad Pitt has spoken about his choice for next President of the United States – His good pal George Clooney!

Speaking to Parade magazine, the Ocean’s Eleven actor encouraged his fellow co-star to run for political office, and if George fails then Ben Affleck should try out for President instead.

He says: "I never thought about it. I have no desire at this point. Maybe I serve better by not going through that door.

"George should do it! He'd be quite good. I think Ben Affleck should run."

We think Ben Affleck would be better suited. He needs a career change because acting isn’t really working out for him is it.

O Brother Where Art Thou is Clooney's one stand-out performance. He played a not-very-smart con man who thought he was brilliant. All Clooney had to do was be himself. Excellent performance!

Clooney is just another Hollyweird leftist idiot. His latest film appears to be yet another attack on the government and business.

This is so sad.
As a Southern Baptist, I can say the establishment’s literature that they use for Sunday School etc., does not prevent such a thing. Shallowness does not beget depth of faith. It begets many shipwrecks of faith. And, alas, Mr Pitt has chosen the god of self to please and has missed it all.

At least we wouldn’t get any stories about Clooney’s wife being a “trophy wife.”

George Clooney's resume:

Born in 1961, the son of a beauty pageant queen and a human-interest-story talking head on a local TV station.

1977: drops out of William Mason High School to try out for Cincinnati Reds. Doesn't make it past preliminary scouting.

1979: barely graduates from Augusta HS in the bottom of his class.

1980-1981: briefly attends, then drops out of Northern Kentucky University with poor grades amd few credits.

1982-1983: moves to LA to try acting.

1984-1987: gets a role in short lived sitcom E/R and gets a recurring bit part in Facts Of Life.

1988-1994: Gets recurring bit part in Roseanne and other series.

1994-1999: gets big break on major drama ER

2000: parlays ER fame into movie career.

2001-present: Uses celebrity status to mouth off on any and every political topic in the wake of 9/11.

He prides himself on not being a father.

Oh, please, please, please run for President, George--or Brad--or Ben! You can count on Hollywood's support.

(And a Republican victory!)

(Let's hope Clooney follows in his father's footsteps.)

Out of respect for women in general can we come up with a word to describe handsome men with no brains? Hollywood is full of men who look good but if they were women they would be called bimbos originating from the Italian word baby.

Surely he wasn’t serious? (but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was!)

Brad: "Oh George, you're so smart...how do you know all these things. Oh, I know...why don't you run for President...we could have such great parties at the White House and you can make me and Angelina world ambassadors and we can fly all over the world spreading our joy!"

Earth to Brad...George's loony father couldn't even get elected to Congress....I hate these people.

To be honest, the original Ocean's Eleven wasn't much of a movie, either.

I did like Don Cheadle in the remake - but I like Don Cheadle in pretty much everything I've ever seen him in.

Yep, seems he’s elevated himself above the Almighty. I’m sure his lover had a hugely negative influence on him.

Bozos works for me.
