He always has been a tool and a tool for Obama. I have never seen on of his movies as I think he is a self serving a**hole.

Clooney was put on my do not watch list a long time ago, its a very extensive list. When I tell people that I actually will not watch certain movies because of the politics of who is in them they find that incredulous. I like entertainers who do not feel the need to espouse their politics and beliefs to the rest of the world. Another thing that bothers me is politicians and their spouses who are suddenly such great cheerleaders for the needs and concerns of our military members and their families. I want my POTUS to be one of those guys who visits Walter Reed after hours with no press camera crew in tow.

So...you don't watch John Wayne movies. Too bad. The Quiet Man and Big Jake are two of my favorite movies.

And so it goes...

NOT watch The Duke! Oh, the horror!

I don't go to the movies very often any more for a number of reasons, but if I do, I try to see movies that I think I'll enjoy. If I don't go to a movie because someone is in it whose politics are disagreeable to me, well... I'll probably never see one. (Tom Selleck doesn't make many movies anymore, and I think the is the only conservative left over there.)

I like Clooney in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "Burn After Reading" - both by the Coen brothers.

That said, there is one person on my list of "Do Not View" due to political reasons - "She Who..."!

Ok I'm busted, I should have qualified my statement by adding entertainers who do not share my political philosophies. Trouble is there are not too many of them. Everyone try to name a well known conservative entertainer. I will start with Patricia Heaton.

Clooney's politics may not agree with mine, but Men Who Stare at Goats was the best documentary I've seen since This is Spinal Tap.

Gary Sinese is an actor who is also a conservative.

The libs way outnumber the conservatives in Hollyweird anyway.
