Arianna and George: The Huffinglooney Blog
STUFF IN THE BLOGOSPHERE
COMMENTLINE
I suppose anyone interested has already heard the one about George Clooney blogging on the THE HUFFINGTON POST?
If not, the short story is that when Arianna Huffington asked George to blog for her, he admitted he really didn't much about how to write a blog. So, the inventive folks over at the huffingtonpost.com improvised, and sort-of hacked something together for him. The piece was approved and sent out into the blogosphere as a bonafide Clooney creation.
Not so fast.
What transpired between the writing and the publishing of Clooney's blog post has been the subject of some he-said, she-said between Clooney and Huffington.
Needless to say, Clooney didn't write 'no stinking' blog.
Hah.
That's what so great about the blogs; the truth will eventually pop out -- even if it is in the form of a rather insipid excuse.
That said, thank God Al Gore invented the Internet! Er, didn't he?
Y'all, keep something in mind when George Clooney makes one of his clever political statements. Maybe George has neither the time nor the notion how to blog. Yeah, we understand. Like almost any other Hollywood actor, Clooney has someone else write his lines for him.

(Arianna Huffington) -- When I first invited George Clooney to blog after a screening of Good Night, and Good Luck in New York a few months ago, he said he wasn't sure how a blog worked. So we put together a sample blog from answers he had given on Larry King Live and an interview with the Guardian in London, and sent it to him to rework in any way he wanted.
Clooney to Arianna: I Did Not Blog
(LA Times) -- Oscar winner George Clooney may make politically provocative films like "Syriana." But he doesn't write politically provocative blogs.
