Clooney Sets the Record Straight



Clooney Obama from E magazine

George Clooney is apparently tired of hearing it.
In a quote last night issued through his publicist Stan Rosenfield he commented:

“I have never texted or emailed Senator Obama. And I’ll offer a million dollars to anyone who could prove otherwise. In fact, I’ve only talked to the Senator once in the last year and a half….on the phone,”

It wasn’t just random commentary. Friday’s Los Angeles Times published a small item that stated that the long time actor, Clooney “frequently text messages the Illinois senator with whom he’s been friends for many years.”

His response was nothing short of putting distance between them.
“I’ve spent more time with Senator McCain (he did my TV show) then I have with Senator Obama,”

“I would hope that my friend John McCain would join me in condemning this kind of politics. Although I support Senator Obama I would never be dumb enough to offer policy advice to either candidate. They seem to be doing fine without me.”
In reality, there isn’t quite as much distance as one might suppose however.
Clooney is apparently going to host a thousand dollar a plate fundraiser for Obama in September in Geneva.. Yes, Geneva Switzerland.
