Found another article on George Clooney-- unfortunately, it's not about another go-around with Bill O'Reilly (those are always fun). ;-)
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?'" Clooney wrote. "We have to agree that it's not unpatriotic to hold our leaders accountable and to speak out."
Agree or disagree with the guy, it's always nice to see a celebrity (aka-- person with a built-in very public soapbox in our culture) talking about things other than their new 20 million dollar car or the latest purse to keep their fashion-accessory dog in. Maybe I need to stop pausing at MTV to roll my eyes when I flip channels, though. Hee.
And speaking of Clooney, not sure if I want to see Syriana, but I'm definitely going to check out Good Night and Good Luck.

You optimist, you. ;-)
The scads of other idiots spouting off without thinking killed my ability to listen to ANYTHING anyone in Hollywood has to say.
I'll listen to some. George Clooney, yes, Britney Spears, not so much. lol Actually, a lot of the actors I like don't get into political stuff much (to the best of my knowledge, anyway).
I think that people don't stop to think that these people have never actually been doctors, lawyers, judges
One of my favorite anecdotes about separating the actor from the role is from the TV series The Fugitive-- the actor who played the cop pursuing Kimble (of course I'm blanking on his name) was walking down the street when a lady approached him and started talking about how she loved his work, but "You need to stop chasing that nice man around, okay?"
