Oscar winner George Clooney may make politically provocative films like "Syriana." But he doesn't write politically provocative blogs.The Huffmeister puts it off to a misunderstanding between her and Clooney's publicist.So imagine his ire when Arianna Huffington used some of his recent answers to political questions in a way that makes it look as if he wrote one for her Huffington Post blog site.
Clooney's statement:
"Miss Huffington's blog is purposefully misleading and I have asked her to clarify the facts. I stand by my statements but I did not write this blog. With my permission Miss Huffington compiled it from interviews with Larry King and The Guardian. What she most certainly did not get my permission to do is to combine only my answers in a blog that misleads the reader into thinking that I wrote this piece. These are not my writings — they are answers to questions and there is a huge difference."Yes, The Dread Pundit Bluto was taken in by the devious Huffintoness as well! Oh no! Looks like Huffy pulled George's "blog". What a shame. The fawning "Oh, Mr. Clooney..." comments were priceless.

I'm so frackin' embarrassed to be related to that guy. Lots of nuts in my family tree. I'm the black walnut.

That wasn't Clooney's fault, apparently. It was Arianna's for trying to coat-tail on the oscar-driven DVD sale.
Not one poster at the Huff&Blo seems to have picked up on that.
My bad.

Bullsh*t. He did before the election and then deleted it after the election. There's no trail now. I should have gotten a screen shot. He was also commenting in other blogs (and articles that allowed commenting) under the pseudonym "Justice Jack".
Which was funny because Justice Jack was obviously someone he must have admired. He was a judge in the UK, who after the expiration of a 1695 piece of legislation which guaranteed freedom of the press in Britain, rendered a judgement in 2001 which was leading to new legislation that would gag any stories written by the press which told of the private lives of Hollywood stars. Specifically their love lives.
God forbid anyone should find out that our beloved Hollywood stars are promiscuous.
