George Clooney Running For President?

Well Brad Pitt is urging him to do so...

Thursday 04th Oct 2007

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 Thirteen actor encouraged his fellow co-star and Ben Affleck to run for political office.

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. There's no denying that man needs a career change.

  • you people are a bunch of raging lunatics. This kind of rhetoric is what is wrong with this country. You place these idoit actors who could'nt think themselves out of a box at such high levels it makes me sick. Stay out of politics and make some decent movies.

  • This is actually a published story? Not a single one of these guys has a college degree. None of them have enough executive experience needed to run a city, state, or gas station. Their views are right out of the European socialist playbook. I hope the American people's qualifications for President are not that he/she merely be famous and good looking. These guys need to stick to acting.

  • Dear God. These are idiot actors, most of whom couldn't order a cheeseburger from McDonalds without a scriptwriter, director, and 3 assistants, and they think that they can run the country. How scary is that? Quick note to Brad Pitt, just because some writer can make you LOOK competant, doesn't mean that you are. Fred Thompson may be an actor, but he also graduated law school, and served as a Senator.

  • Here's an idea-why don't those uneducated, pampered-to-the point-where-they-have-no-absoloutely-no-concept-of-reality dingbats, just shut the hell up and do what they are paid; which is to memorize words that other people write for them and regurgitate them in front of a camera. Yeah, what a bunch of foreign policy genius'. I hate to say this, but I cannot imagine what a better place the world would be if people like them did not exist. They disgust me.

  • You people are morons. Do you actually think Pitt was being serious? He's making YOUR point, idiots. The media is obsessed with celebrity, and he's making YOUR POINT. It's called, humor. Oh, and by the way, who are those actors who became politicians again? That's right: Ronald Reagan Clint Eastwood Arnold Schwarzenegger Jesse Ventura All Republicans - so this Right-Wing crap about attacking actors for getting into politics can just stop now.

  • I wouldn't vote for any of those 3 idiots for local dog catcher. Where's the "None of the Above" choice on the poll above??? I want an actor as President...but his name is Fred Thompson. Do these "celebs" even have college degrees? Making a lot of money for "pretending" certainly does not qualify one to be a leader. And I'm surprised the Whoopi Goldberg comments about the "3 way" with Nancy Pelosi didn't get more coverage. Typical liberal lack of mor

  • These guys haven't made a decent movie in years. Obviously, they don't have anything better to do and want a side project such as running the country that all other countries come to for help. Wait, maybe they can run the country .... into the ground. Brad, Whoopi, Afflect and Looney...you must love this Country in order to run for President. Guys take up needlepoint and Whoopi go do your 3some. I'm truly sick of these Hollywood loosers.

  • Heads Up! An acting career in Hollywood is NOT a legitimate foundation to become The President of the United States. The job does require just a tad more than that. Both Clooney and Affleck (and Pitt and Jolie) would be laughable in the position, as would anyone else originating from the fantasy world of Hollywood. Instead, this country needs SERIOUS and qualified political leadership ASAP. BTW, actor/writer/director Ben Affleck's career is doing more than fine these days.

  • I think only actors should run for office. They can memorize and read scripts without stumbling. They can act any role needed for all opportunities. Nobody cares if they have a college degree as long as they look good, sound good and act convincing and sincere. We then should have an annual award show for the best performances in the political arena. We can call them the Ronnies in honor of our first "acting" president.

  • Ha - The "Beautiful People" in Hollywood think they have the qualifications to be the leader of the free world. There is apparently no end to their narcisism and elitism. I wonder who Clooney would pick to be on his cabinet. Let's see Rosie O'Donnel as Sec'y of State, Bruce Springstien as Joint Chiefs of Staff, Sean Penn as Defence Sec'y with Venezualan Dictator Hugo Chaves as his advisor. The list goes on and on

  • It would be difficult for Clooney and Affleck to run for political office since they would have to have a full-time script writer on their staff telling them what to say. Remember, these idiots cannot think for themselves, which is why they hire publicists to do all of that for them. Why do Hollywood morons think they've become experts in geopolitics? We put these morons on too high a stage in this country.

We need to reserve the Whitehouse for the rich elitist that will be sure to look out for all their good ole boys heading multi-national corporations. Are there any ex-alcoholics, draft doging, snearing daddy boys that have failed at numberous business ventures only to be bailed out by daddy and his buddies running for office. Oh yeah, Clinton and Gulliani. They have my vote.
