Absolute, Irrefutable Proof That God Exists
If this actually happens, that is: rumors are beginning to be circulated that George Clooney may run for president. Clooney denies them - in phrasing that sounds exactly like a politician keeping his options open.
The actor-director skillfully deflected a barrage of questions from reporters about a potential Clooney candidacy, after appearing at an event where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation aimed at helping stop genocidal violence in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Told that fans are clamoring for the "Syriana" star to run for office, he said with a subtle head shake, "Believe me, you don't want me in politics."
When asked what he thought about people wearing T-shirts urging Clooney to seek the presidency in 2008, he added, "I think they're probably kidding."
Asked again if he would try to get his name on a ballot, Clooney said, "That's a bad idea."
This would be the greatest thing since sliced bread! The photoshop opportunities! The opportunities for ridicule! The movie sequels!
