The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns: Moron Revealed #28

Moron of the Week -28-George Clooney
You can't spell Clooney without looney!

Yes, Dragonlady's World just knew that George Clooney's practically been begging to be this week's moron with all that he's been up to these days.

That means that Peace of my mind has been dethroned and Dragonlady's World has acquired the title once more.

Most notably is Clooney's pitiful dispute with the cr*ptacular website Huffington Post. In the case labelled ClooneyGate (is anyone else completely sick of hearing the whatever-Gate labelling?), Clooney argued that he did not blog an entry that Arianna Huffington passed off as his:

"I stand by my statements but I did not write this blog. With my permission Miss Huffington compiled it from interviews with Larry King and The Guardian. What she most certainly did not get my permission to do is to combine only my answers in a blog that misleads the reader into thinking that I wrote this piece. These are not my writings - they are answers to questions and there is a huge difference."

To me, this is a very pathetic spat, which seems more like a set up to get the Huff more readers and Clooney more press coverage. Because even negative publicity is still publicity, and people love to read/hear controversy: fake or real.

I mean, Clooney's biggest whine about the whole thing is that he did say those things, but didn't write the entry.

Whoopty-doo.

Said. Written. Who cares?

Wouldn't be enough to put me in a hissy fit.

And, his further argument is that he doesn't make statements. He answers questions.

Hello dumbnuts, there's no difference.

An answer to a question is a personal statement, you baloney.

But, enough of this idiocy, Clooney has done many other moronic things worthy of discussing.

He's attempted to play a malicious April Fools joke on the website Gawker:

"Flood their website with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this website is worthless."

In defense of his behaviour, Clooney insisted that the

"email notice aimed at ruining star spotting website Gawker.com was a private prank that was not meant for the public".

So, does that make it right?

In Clooney's world 2 wrongs make a right apparently. Because I see his act as being as wrong as stalking celebs since he was trying to ruin Gawker's reputation and people's careers over the lame arse prank.

Clooney's representative stated that Gawker's retaliation to put up a prize for the first person to send a camera photo of Clooney... is childish.

Um, ya, but Clooney started it, so :-P (nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah)

In other vicious Clooney news, the moron had joked about NRA spokesperson Charlton Heston's Alzheimers. Clooney said,

"Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's".

And, when asked if he'd apologise for his nasty remark, he replied,

"I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him."

Hmmm... maybe he'd be a good candidate for PETA if he doesn't care for human life.

And, when it came to the war, Clooney believed,

"[Bush says,] 'France, you're getting the pipelines.' Are we going to try and talk [to Saddam Hussein] without jumping in and killing people first? I don't believe we're going to wait until the last resort to do it. That's what bothers me."

Uh... how many talks with a dictator does a country need before actually getting some balls to get the job done?

I don't know if you've forgotten, but Bush senior talked Saddam's ear off trying to get him to co-operate, to no avail leading to the Gulf War. Then, Bill Clinton talked a little about Saddam's WMD/Al Qaeda connection, but primarily did nothing. And, now Bush junior has resolved that enough's finally enough - disarm the mofo!

But, we all know George Clooney is a goober when it comes to his political voice.

Anyhow, global friendly George has lately been posing for magazines as he and horse face, I mean Julia Roberts share their environmental thoughts with Vanity Fair.

They have also teamed up with Al Gore and Robert F. Kennedy in a photo shoot - all wearing green.

Is that green for dollars or earth?

I think they're calling it the loser cover of the century.

Further, it was reported,

"In the accompanying feature, Syriana star Clooney announces his plans to create Oil Change, a campaign to educate audiences and reduce dependence on oil.

Meanwhile, Clooney has traded in his BMW for an eco-friendly Tango, which features in the photo spread inside the new Vanity Fair. "

Oil Change - hey catchy. I think it is time for my car's oil change.

You know... the car that I zoom around town at 100 clicks per hour (about 60 mph). Speaking of which, I'm in the mood for a long country drive - you know, as a stress reliever. But, I'd better fill up the gas tank first to ensure a nice, long burn. Ya, Clooney, your Oil Change idea has educated me alright.

I've learned that wasting gas on long country drives is necessary for me to relax and enjoy life, or in words that you or some other enviro-freaks would understand, I've found my chi.

Oil Change.

Yes... oil change.

I think I'll go for an oil change.

Thank goodness I don't own a Tango cr*pper of a wannabe car like Clooney does.

Wow, I can actually thank Clooney for helping me find my chi.

Heh heh.

But, not everything's sunshine, purty flowers, and rainbows in Clooneyland. It seems he's had a love spat with his buddy Brad Pitt:

"George Clooney is steamed that longtime pal Brad Pitt first backed out of a plan to join him in building a posh Las Vegas resort, only to turn around and set his sights on building a similar resort in Palm Springs.

After Pitt left Clooney at the altar on the Vegas deal, it lost its steam and now the word around Vegas is that Las Ramblas is on its last legs."

It's okay Cloon-Cloon, I'm sure in time you two will be able to kiss and make up. In the meantime, you can hold your head high knowing that you are the Moron Of The Week.

F.A.G.

God Sam that guy is such a jerk it took a whole page and then some. He thinks he is Gods gift to women. Well, some women anyways. He is really nutz and that movie he made sympathizing with terrorists just proves why I think he needs to be expelled to France.

Doll, just remember this about George Clooney: he was a regular on The Facts of Life back in the day. That should always footnote anything Clooney does.

"You take the good, you take the bad", and with Clooney the looney, it seems you get a whole lot o'bad.
