I'm Sure It Happened Exactly That Way, George

George Clooney expounds on his simple-minded political views in a softball interview for the Guardian, and really gets into the role:

"I was at a party the other night and it was all these hardcore Republicans and these guys are like, 'Why do you hate your country?' I said, 'I love my country.' They said, 'Why, at a time of war, would you criticise it then?' And I said, 'My country right or wrong means women don't vote, black people sit in the back of buses and we're still in Vietnam. My country right or wrong means we don't have the New Deal.' I mean, what, are you crazy? My country, right or wrong? It's not your right, it's your duty. And then I said, 'Where was I wrong, schmuck?' In 2003 I was saying, where are the ties [between Iraq] and al-Qaida? Where are the ties to 9/11? I knew it; where the fuck were these Democrats who said, 'We were misled'? That's the kind of thing that drives me crazy: 'We were misled.' Fuck you, you weren't misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic."
Like, really? Like, you didn't kind of imagine this conversation in your head, did you, George? Like maybe you could name the "hardcore Republicans" so we could hear their side of the story?

But, like anyway, George, it reminds of something that happened to me the other day. Like, this hardcore liberal was, like, talking shit about America, you know, and he said, "George Bush is the biggest terrorist in the world!" And I was like, "Sir, your hypothesis is absurd. The basis of modern terrorism is the use of vicious, wanton attacks on innocent people in order to elicit fear on the populace for the purpose of coercing them into putting pressure on their leaders to make concessions that the terrorist deems desirable." And, shit, man, the hardore liberal is like, "Uh...", and then I'm like, "And obvously, George Bush, as the twice-elected President of the United States of America has not only the right, but the Constitutional duty, sir, to take whatever action he deems necessary to effect the safety and well-being of the country and her citizens, including appropriate military actions." And the lib dude is like, "But, but...", and then he had a stroke and died right on the spot! It was like karma, man, karma.

Now, none of this is to say that George Clooney is a lying sack of shit, and don't you ever question his patriotism.

1 The smug moron doesn't know the difference between disagreeing with his country's internal policies versus shitting on his country overseas and siding with our enemies. It must hurt to be that stupid.

5 This whole Iraq Gate is something like; "Shoot first then ask questions" I am very sorry to say this, but the whole handling of Iraq after saddam must be something in the catagory of "I have shit in my brain" If you have handled it with any common sence, US soldiers were already sitting at home! sipping beer! Hey dude what's up? ..huuu, I duno! What a bunch of Fuckups!

6 Heh. No matter how profound or provocative or even outrageous liberal idiots try to sound, and no matter whether they're kids or college perfessers, they always come across as if they were woken suddenly, still babbling from a dream.

9 Hey Dan, second guessing isn't a plan, and hindsight isn't wisdom. The only thing Dems have offered so far is cutting and running.

10 I don't think "hard-core Republicans" get invited to those parties, do they??

11 Hi Carlos, Maybe so, can't really judge that, I am not from America but I don't understand why people are called non patriotic if they don't agree on Iraq or see it all a bit different. My guess is that Cloony will talk differently about Afghanistan!

12 ---"I don't think "hard-core Republicans" get invited to those parties, do they??"--- Yes, evidently it's very popular for celebrities to invite a dozen or so hard-core Republicans to their parties now. It's "like" some sort of tax dodge where the invitation clearly states BYOB. I guess "like" they are supposed to pick up a few duty free bottles when they fly in to his Italian villa.

13 Lads and Lasses, love y'all but let's throw the spell check into gear before the other button. It's very important to be, look and sound right, if you're gonna lead. And that concludes todays lesson in .....

15 Dan, People don't get called un-patriotic if they simply disagree with the Iraq situation. Many Iraq critics who get counter-criticized often start to scream that their patriotism is being questioned. Even when the counter critics go out of their way to say no one's patriotism is being dissed. Now, there are certains groups of people who deserve their patriotism questioned. A professor who wishes for a million Mogadishus (ala Blackhawk Down) deserves his patriotism questioned. Code Pink who it is said has given money to the Iraqi terrorists deserve the questioning of their patriotism. Will Clooney talk differently about Afghanistan? Perhaps, but it wouldn't shock me if he dissed Afghanistan too. After all, MoveOn was 100% against going into Afghanistan (despite their weaselly words today about the topic). I doubt very much Clooney's story. It all sounds like standard leftist caricture.

16 When people believe the claims of foreigners, particularly our enemies, that our military has engaged in "war crimes" without a shred of proof or without even hesitating a nanosecond to 2nd guess that maybe our troops deserve a presumption of innocense, it's proper to question their patriotism. When someone treats Abu Gharib as if it were widespread and all soldiers participated in this action, when people believe Seymour Hersh unquestioningly and refuse to believe any part of a Pentagon Press release (including today's date), their patriotism warrants questioning. If you thought we should've given the inspections more time, your patriotism wasn't questioned. If you wanted economic sanctions lifted over the last 10 years but turn around and said this war was wrong because "sanctions worked", your patriotism warrants questioning.

17 Marcus and h0mi, Thanks for the inside. For a moment I had the impression that America has become a bit of short-sided. good to see there is an nuance!

19 Thanks forest, and may the blessed nose hairs of the prohpet, (BBQ sauce upon him), embrace you like a cashmere bathrobe with matching shearling slippers.

20 Anyone here watch the movie "Jarhead", i have'nt but heard some leftwing elites waffling on about it on the radio, apparently it about some American soldiers that were trained and sent to iraq in the first gulf war but never saw combat. Was it like that? As usual, the left wing elitist armchair war generals thought it a massive waste of money and resources, much like the current war in Iraq. These hollywood types, criticise when soldiers are not used (hence few of them die), but also reserve the right to criticise when soldiers are used (and some die).
