The latest from Crazy George:

Oscar winner George Clooney shrugged off suggestions Monday that he might run for political office — but he sure sounded like a politician doing it.

The actor-director skillfully deflected a barrage of questions from reporters about a potential Clooney candidacy, after appearing at an event where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation aimed at helping stop genocidal violence in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Told that fans are clamoring for the “Syriana” star to run for office, Clooney said with a subtle head shake, “Believe me, you don’t want me in politics.

True. We don’t want you involved in politics. But then why do you insist on continually inserting yourself and your lefty politics into every situation that you can?

Hahahaha. A blogger complaining about someone commenting on politics. Was the American public clamoring for you to start this blog? Is Clooney somehow less entitled to his opinions than you are?

Or am I being a little dense? Were you just trying to make fun of yourself?

You’re being a little dense. But thanks for asking.

Clooney has repeatedly claimed he doesn’t want to be a politician. Yet all he does is politic. Hell, he does more politicing than he does acting. And he does neither well.

Are you a politician? Because it kind of seems to me that you’re coming out with political stuff a whole lot more than George Clooney, and I don’t recall a while lot of people begging you for your insights.

It just cracks me up when bloggers get full of themselves like you are, and try to criticize others for voicing their opinions.

Clooney, the cluebat was one of my favorite “hunks” to watch, until he started opening his mouth in politics. I have totally lost any interest in his movies. Politicizing one’s self, when you are a well known public figure is not a good idea.

Like many before him, Richard Geer, Sean Penn, Susan (shudder) Sarandon, oh, and lest we forget the Dixie Ditz’s - I will not tolerate supporting them in their “craft” or their agendas.
Some of us, outside of la-la land have principles and will stick to them.
They are persona non grata in my household.
Yes, they have the right to their own opinion and the right to free speech.
As do I.
I also have the right to not support these open minded, open mouthed, self centered, millionaire celebrities that think they have a clue about what life is “really” like for the rest of America or what it takes to run a country.

– So just because these people have money, you say that they dont have a clue for what life is like for the rest of us? For your information, most of these stars were not born with a gold plate on the table. They had trials and tribulations, just like the rest of us. They have their bad days….just like the rest of us. Hell, some of them even lost it all. What you basically are saying is that you do not like what they say, which is fine, but refrain from criticizing them, just because their opinions are covered by the media. Some of them actually know what their talking about. Give them the respect that they deserve, just like they would with you.

I think I’ll write a note to George expressing my opinions and see how much respect he thinks I deserve.

Are you shittin’ me?! Most came from upper class, if not wealthy, backgrounds. Almost all got to where they are based on nepotism. I have a friend who grew up in Hollywood, who was friends with the kids of a lot of name actors, who themselves became name actors. Anytime I made noises like yours he would chew me out and remind me how much these people have had handed to them in their lives. He was, and is, right.

Living in Hollywood myself, I can tell you most actors are sheep. They don’t have an independent thought in their collective brains.

Suddenly and without warning, we have blog police…

Got something you want to say?
