George Clooney: totally asking for it

George Clooney proves that he really is *that* stupid:

I Am a Liberal. There, I Said It! (warning: Clooney uses offensive language).

As far as I'm concerned, Peggy Noonan hits this one on the head:

Boy in a Bubble: What George Clooney doesn't know about life.

Her basic point:

The Clooney generation in Hollywood is not writing and directing movies about life as if they've experienced it, with all its mysteries and complexity and variety. In an odd way they haven't experienced life; they've experienced media. Their films seem more an elaboration and meditation on media than an elaboration and meditation on life. This is how he could take such an unnuanced, unsophisticated, unknowing gloss on the 1950s and the McCarthy era. He [Clooney] just absorbed media about it. And that media itself came from certain assumptions and understandings, and myths.

*hopes against hope that the rumors about Clooney entering politics are unfounded...*
