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

FINALLY THE TRUTH COMES OUT OF HIS UTOPIAN LIPS! LOL

[buffyt]

"Clooney on Leno stated he was taking time off to travel the US in a Motor home with friends and do some drinking aka partying aka relaxing . He then preceded to slowly empty his cup of "liquid" onto the set floor while talking to Leno. (Leno sat "straight faced".)

Man, that is a BIG NO NO on the Leno set. We went to two of his shows and got to sit down front in the chairs and got to meet Jay and shake his hand. He is a very nice, friendly Liberal. But before the show the furniture on that set is covered with tarps, and no one is allowed to touch anything up there. They are VERY picky about that set! George surely knew that and poured his drink out there on purpose!

[The Toad]

Ahhh, Mr George Clooney Phd. His foreign policy credentials are superior to anyone else's, his top secret CIA sources, intel, and his access to America's satellite systems even better than the President's! He's a real insider in the beltway isn't he? His reams of military and intelligence experience is enough to make the rest of hollywood swoon.

Don't we all feel better knowing that Mr Clooney's highly evolved political opinions, and the renowned George Clooney ThinkTank is on the job?

[buffyt]

Gooney Clooney played himself in O BROTHER. Hayseed eatin' moron with a huge ego and loud mouth wearing filthy sweaty overalls all through the movie! No stretch for his acting skills there.... LOL

[lorrainer]

Obligatory Mel Gibson bump.

Isn't there a saying about "life imitating art?" Oh, man, were it only true.

In a Perfect World...

In a less than perfect world, this would be acceptable after his comments about Charlton Heston...

But AT THE VERY LEAST, people should consider the source of the vile...

I get mad at someone, then I find out more about why they did what they did to make me mad, and the anger disperses. We get angry because we don't have enough information."

Oh, really....

Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney launched an angry tirade against a journalist at the Berlin Film Festival - after he described the star's latest film Solaris as "boring." The sexy actor was left furious after the Turkish journalist remarked on the Steven Soderbergh film at a news conference on Saturday night. Clooney blasted, "I find you fascinating. You crack me up, man. You just wanted to get up and be a rat, you know that? You just wanted to get up and say something rotten. What a jerk! I mean honestly, you know, what a s**t thing to say! You make a lot of films, do you? 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!" Solaris opened in America to mixed reviews and has performed badly at the box office, however the Ocean's Eleven star remains impressed by the work. When the same journalist asked if he was happy with the film, he replied, "Yes I am. And thanks for the question."

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

When I hear George Clooney bloviating once again, I am always reminded of that beautiful monoloque by Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men"...

You can't handle the truth!
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

[buffyt]

MMMMMMmmmmmmm Mel Gibson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marauder]

Clooney thus confirms his company of Eric and Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, ad nauesum, who prefer to jeopardize their careers by alienating regular (ticket-buying) people.
Can anyone name a liberal celebrity that has NOT proved the old adage about how one should keep his mouth shut and be thought a fool rather than open it and remove all doubt?
The only one I can think of is Tom Hanks, but there have to be others. Morgan Freeman?

[The Toad]

...I guess he needed more information....

Hey, what's Baldwin saying about all of this? Did he move to France yet?

Utter crap from a man whose claim to fame is/was trickled down from his family...for a hilarious read on those of his ilk and their asinine views check this out (photo of a poster ad I took in NYC): I think they also have a website here http://www.doubletakebook.com

cLOONEY is right! It is time some one stands up and says,"BULLSH**"! BULLSH** to you cLOONEY,you are full of it! You're just a guy who pretends for a living! It's time we ALL say"BULLSH**' to cLOONEY!

[KansasCanadian]

Isn't it great that George Clooney has the freedom in America to say these things, and that I have the freedom to punch him in the face and receive a fair trial!

[Paul Atreides]

Alec was on the plane to leave, but they wanted to charge him for two seats, to accomodate his fat butt. He took the rocks out of his suitcase, spilling his Twinkies all over the floor, and began stoning people.

I "think" I agree with what you wrote . . . but that's not the point of my post. I just like the way you wrote it. Calm, dispassionate thinkers like yourself piss me off because . . . well . . . I get too pissed off to make sense most of the time so I just usually pop in an "image" or two to make my points.

You've got a cool writing style and the pace and wording made me think about every sentence. It reads like a Brit penned it . . . and right now them kinda folks rate purty high on my Darwin Scale.

Your style, sir or ma'am, is a talent and you need to use it here more often. I'm not sure we've ever crossed paths before.

[buffyt]

Here he is in prison stripes..... awe.... what a vision!

Playing a moron, with a loud mouth, a useless idiot, himself!

[geedee]

. . . most meaningful relationship has been with a pot-bellied pig.

Hey! Now you're getting personal. There's nothing wrong with pigs. Or sheep. Ask Jacques Chirac.
