Let's Stop Screwing Around. Dem Nominee - George Clooney 2008

[Yavin4]

and to balance the ticket, Dennis Kucinich. Why the hell not.

[helderheid]

1. I could totally vote for that ticket!

[mokawanis]

20. Clooney????

Is there anything, anything at all, that qualifies him for political office? I like his political opinions, but voting for him? Um, no, no, no.

[stellanoir]

2. double swoon

if only . . . .*sigh*

[Call Me Wesley]

3. I think

he likes Italy too much ...

[Yavin4]

5. So, Dennis Will Really Run Things

Dennis will be a reverse Cheney.

[Call Me Wesley]

9. Nothing wrong with Kucinich. (nt)

[Katherine Brengle]

4. I actually think I could vote for that, crazy as it is...

Clooney could be the face--the PR man, the voice, the image. Kucinich is the brains behind The Man--and you gotta love Dennis.

Think about it--they could have a cool celebrity couple name, like "Clucinich" or "Kuniney".

Or maybe just, Gennis.

I dunno... but I'd consider voting for them if they had anything to say. :)

[Yavin4]

6. I Like Clucinich!!

Congrats! You are the new communications director!!

[helderheid]

11. This nation needs to get a Clucinich!

:yourock:

[helderheid]

12. Well, they both could be the brains. :)

[Katherine Brengle]

14. Agreed--I was just messin' lol. n/t

7. I was actually saying last night that I hope Clooney runs for office

someday. Not in 2008. And certainly not for President as his first time around.

He is quite intelligent, well spoken, and I hate to say it, but, "telegenic" (you know what I mean). I think he'd make a great Senate candidate when he's done with acting.

8. Clooney for VP.

John Edwards will be president in 2009! :)

[Liberalynn]

10. I'd vote for Clooney

at least he'd make the State of the Union speeches more interesting to watch. ;)

[crispini]

13. Eeep!

I feel warm all over now.

[Benfea]

15. Anybody but Clinton.

I'm tired of voting for Republican Lite candidates.

[Yavin4]

16. Can The Fundies Handle A Bachelor President?

Clinton's penis made them go insance. Imagine what Clooney's member would do to them.

[Treclo]

17. But more importantly,

what might it do for ME?

[ghostsofgiants]

18. "Ask not, what your president can do for you..."

"Ask what you can do to your president!"

(Slightly paraphrased from Clone High.)

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[LSK]

19. Clooney/Conyers 2008

[Jamastiene]

21. Sure, why not?

Two excellent candidates, imho.

[fujiyama]

22. No actors for president

He can run for a lower seat first, but I sense he isn't interested in political office.

I do like him though and find him very intelligent.

And I love his statement - Proud to be out of touch.

Ebert was asked something similar about the Oscars and he said most Americans are out of touch with good movies. I think a lot of liberals are getting sick of being told how we don't care for "American values".

Fuck that. And fuck those people. We shouldn't have those ass holes on the right defend "values" any longer.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

23. Should Clooney run for Gov of CA first?

[terrya]

25. Yes.

Realistically, yes he should. Or some other elective office first. I do think ultimately he'll seek elective office. But he needs to win statewide office first before running for President. IMO.

[donheld]

24. It will never work

When they find out about George's past with me he'll be ruined politically :silly::evilgrin::crazy:
