Well, I like a man who’s honest. George Clooney talks about his work in Sudan for his Newsweek cover story, and also reveals why politics is not in his future. Clooney has been discussed as a possible Democratic candidate from time to time after making a name for himself as an activist with his foundation ‘Not On Our Watch.’ However, he rebuffed the idea… big-time.
“I didn’t live my life in the right way for politics, you know,” he said, sitting outside the Central Pub in Juba, scarfing down pizza. “I f–ked too many chicks and did too many drugs, and that’s the truth.” A smart campaigner, he believes, “would start from the beginning by saying, ‘I did it all. I drank the bong water. Now let’s talk about issues.’ That’s gonna be my campaign slogan: ‘I drank the bong water.’?”
While Clooney says he has no intentions of ever running for office, I think that slogan is pretty catchy. But his honesty would be his downfall. Honesty and politics do not go hand in hand. I’d vote for him. We can use some honesty in politics.
