Movie “loosely based” on Howard Dean in the works
The two Hollywood lefties who are in talks to do the movie? George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio. Clooney would direct and produce, and DiCaprio would play the lead role.
DiCaprio is a Goracle wannabe, while Clooney is a popular Hollywood leftist infamous in conservative circles for making the following disgusting remark about Alzheimer’s sufferer and gun rights supporter Charlton Heston back in 2003:
“Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.”
When Smith asked the actor if he went too far with his remarks, Clooney — who’s against the gun lobby — responded, “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves whatever anyone says about him.”
Yet he got upset when the chairman of the Kentucky 4th District Republicans used one of his movies in an innocent quip about how Clooney’s father Nick wasn’t going to win the Congressional seat he was seeking (for the record, he didn’t win).
More Looney Clooney quotes:
He says President Bush would fit in just fine with New Jersey’s favorite crime family.
“The government itself is running exactly like the Sopranos,” he tells talk-show host Charlie Rose tonight.
Clooney says Bush has cut deals with France and Russia so the United Nations Security Council won’t complain when “we go into a war [with Iraq] and kill a lot of innocent people.”
“[Bush says,] ‘France, you’re getting the pipelines,’” Clooney quips. “Are we going to try and talk [to Saddam Hussein] without jumping in and killing people first?” asks Clooney. “I don’t believe we’re going to wait until the last resort to do it. That’s what bothers me.”
Hmmm. From the sounds of things, maybe it’s DiCaprio who should be directing and producing, and Clooney playing the Dean role, because he sounds just like him.

Will it be similar to Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize winning movie, which was “loosely based” on the truth?
heheh – good point, NC
Clooney is an ass, and the typical liberal, say horrible things about others, but thin skinned when someone does the same about him. The only redeeming thing Clooney did was bring us South Park, apparently he was influential in getting their original tape to someone who got them their first 6 episode gig at Comedy Central. And that probably hasn’t turned out exactly as he thought, as they skewer liberal icons and ideas more often than conservative ones (even though they are often equal opportunity offensive to everyone).
That comment about Heston is vile. And Heston was a better actor than Clooney could ever hope to be, and a gentleman to boot. How much of his comment was because he “hates” guns and how much because he realizes he’ll never be the icon that Heston is?
Are they going to have the MGM lion in the opening of the film roar, or go “Yeaaaargh!”?
A movie about howard dean????????
Boy that will make a lot of money, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
howard is a useless dirtbag.
Greensburg, Kansas tornado and Gov Kathleen comes to mind. I live in Wichita. hhoward doesn’t come to Kansas. It’s still the Old West past Salina and I-135.
I think Clooney’s a good enough actor. I just wish he’d act like he has a brain.
It wouldn’t bother me at all to watch these clowns and their syncophantic moronic clique throw money down that rabbit hole. They have plenty to spare, and not enough common sense.
And when it tanks, they’ll blame – who else? The Right Wing Noise Machine and Christian Fundamentalists.
When prominent actors decide to get all political or make asses of themselves are get al lstupid in one way or another….it turns me off from watching movies they are.
I am quite certain it is like that with many people who watch movies.
We have a pre-concieved notion on how they ’should’ be, based on what we have seen them act in – we enjoy that, and want to see more of them.
When they put themselves in the news getting political and making assinine statements, it kills that pre-concieved notion, and we see them in a different light, and for many, it turns us off adn ends up affecting thier movie calss because we no longer want to see movies with them because our idea of them has changed.
I noticed that with Tom Cruise first, seeing how he acted and has gotten more strange, touting Scientology more and more, just turned me off and it affects the movies I want to see. I still have gone to see MI3 because of him.
I still have[n't] gone to see MI3 because of him.
I think the movie would have to be very loosely based on Howard Dean to be of great interest to the Great American moviegoing public. This must be one of Mr. Clooney’s “vanity” projects that he intersperses with movies he expects will make money. Nothing wrong with that, really. But Howard Dean? C’mon.
To Severian: Your comment about Heston as “icon” reminds me of his role as the good guy to Orson Welles’s corrupt sheriff in “Touch of Evil.”
Waiting on the next one for Pelosi
and Al Gore
and Bill Clinton
Then, Hillary….
Just saw a classic post about this on Sweetness and Light:
Perfect!!!!
NC,
Perfect indeed! That’s a riot!
Sanity,
I completely am amongst those who are swayed against entertainers who say asinine political comments. I recall thinking Robin Williams was pants-wetting funny. The more I heard his political opinions, the less funny he became. Since Elton John came out of the closet, his songs took on a different tone. I still like his stuff (mostly), but I have to ignore the creepy pictures in my head.
