Clooney is right, but he should still shut up

George Clooney just got a lot of press for being a womanizing scum, and he should lay low until the scandal with Teri Hatcher subsides. Instead of doing the smart thing and waiting until it blows over, he’s opening his big mouth as usual:

“The fear of being criticized can be paralyzing,” Clooney writes today on Huffingtonpost.com — pumping up the volume after banging the drum of Hollywood liberalism in his Oscar acceptance speech.

“Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the runup to the war. In 2003, a lot of us were saying, where is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? We knew it was bulls—.

“Which is why it drives me crazy to hear all these Democrats saying, ‘We were misled.’ It makes me want to shout, ‘F— you, you weren’t misled. You were afraid of being called unpatriotic.’”

I’m a proud liberal like Clooney, and he’s totally right that the whole situation was obvious and the Dems have no spine, but he should shut the hell up until he has more credibility. Right now he’s just a shrieking celebrity. Plus I really don’t like him even if I share his politics.

Clooney is known for his political outburts. He made an impassioned speech after Princess Diana’s death in which he blamed the paparrazi for her death. Some tabloids boycotted him afterwards in protest.
