So Why Would Merkel Have A Meeting With Some Airheaded Actor?

What next an audience with Jimmy Krankie? Why do actors who have been lucky to have earned a few quid think they have wisdom? Why do politicians sate that belief?

Why would George want to meet Merkel? (don't you have a hilarious name for her?)


They are in Germany to attend the Berlinale film festival, where the actor is promoting his new film Hail, Caesar.

Beats me TTT, I can understand people of the thespian persuasion having a slightly exaggerated view of their own sagacity and I suppose they have that in common with politicians. A case of the blind leading the blind dressed in the emperors new suit.

He's the only one who agrees with her devastating policies?

They are both jerks, so they should get on just fine.

Out of interest - why do you think they're jerks?

[-Talbot-]

Merkel acted like a jerk with her idiotic open door policy ... Clooney er no idea, all I know about him is he played a doctor in some TV program.

[Khandro]

sp; She's a jerk because she has invited a million immigrants into Germany, bringing untold misery on the population, and he's a jerk because he says, “I absolutely agree with her,”.
But then, he doesn't even live in Europe let alone Germany, and she is mad and lives in a political bubble, never meeting a real person.
He at least, has got a lot of publicity for what is probably a crappy film.

Ah...you're talking about Merkel and Clooney. I thought you were referring to Clooney and Amal.

You only know George Clooney from 'ER'.

Blimey.

[-Talbot-]

Actually I tell a lie ... I know him from doing a crap coffee advert too

[whiskeryron]

I've heard of an actor named Clooney
Who I'm told is a bit of a loonie
He's meeting with Merk
Who's also a jerk
So ''Political Loonie Tunie'' ??

[Prudie]

Sorry guys but there's not many women who would pass up a chance to meet George Clooney. Wasn't Merkel actually meeting his wife anyway?

[Samuraisan]

I think George Clooney is absolutley gorgeous, how ever, I agree, what makes these actors experts on world affairs ?

[-Talbot-]

Wasn't Merkel actually meeting his wife anyway?

You would think so yes. So why did George go, couldn't he just have stayed back at the hotel practising his facial expressions in a mirror or whatever actors do?

[Prudie]

Like I said, why would Angela turn down that opportunity?

[Togo]

Ronnie Reagan wasn't much of an actor, but.......

Khandro, of course George Clooney lives in Europe, he has a house in Italy too.
