Also arrested outside the Sudanese Embassy were Clooney’s father, Nick, a former newspaper columnist; Benjamin Jealous, president of the NAACP; Martin Luther King III, son of Martin Luther King Jr.; and Reps. James P. Moran (D-Va.) and James McGovern (D-Mass.)
Those are the shoulders of a linebacker or a power forward and one downright fugly ......”
Yep! John Turturro. See post 15.
Geez, right on the heels of dining with the Obamas. This Clooney character isn’t all there to begin with, so of course a few spare demons from the White Hut decided to venture off with him just for fun.
I agree with you 100%.
“Oh Brother” is the only movie he has been in that I liked....and he was the weakest thing about it.
Good point. If I like a movie he is in, it is generally despite his performance.
“May I suggest using your nightstick, Officers?”
I agree; however, others did the rigidity thing so much better, such as Ray McKinnon, who played Vernon T. Waldrip: 
BRW, you are right on the money about Pacino, another one-note guy. Think how much better Scent of a Woman could have been if only the right guy had played the role -- Robert Duvall. A tragedy. Duvall even knows how to tango, having an Argentine wife. Wonder if he turned the role down, as too much like The Great Santini?
Clooney is just another uneducated Hollyweird actor who thinks he is an expert in foreign affairs and other things political.
It was his voice. He just wasn't the least convincing as a guy who would have grown up in the South, regardless of his character's pretensions to erudition. The right voice could have made the character really funny.
The secret to the Southern accent is the nasal twang and the wide pronunciation of vowels. Every time you hit a vowel, you pronounce all the vowels -- you just vary the order.
dislocated Texan....know what you mean
here is an example......adapter.....in Texas we call is an A dapter vs an adapter
“Go protest in Darfur.”
Are you kidding? Could Clooney go and look up TWO countries on a map, in one week??
It’s life and death if he could find ONE!!!
Yep. Umbrella = UM-brilla. Ambulance = AM-bih - laynce.
Pre-approved by the White Hut.
I see it as an affirmation of the recently passed law against protesting. “See, we don’t discriminate, we even arrested our hero, Clooney”.
COming to a Tea Party demonstration near you.
I want to see how many SEIU thugs protesting in front of CEO homes are thrown in jail before I pay any more attention to this stunt.
Loved that movie but you’re right..Duvall wuld have been perfect. And a world class tango dancer at that. :-)
That is exactly what I was thinking! Those are some pretty scary shoulders
Please don’t help promote Clooney by posting articles on him here.
Is that photoshopped? Look at her shoulders. Looks like a linebacker.
100 Sudanese were asked for comments about George Clooney’s arrest. 100 Sudanese said “George who”?
