Book By Its Cover Review: Arguing with George Clooney About Your Blog

George Clooney is having a little feud with Arianna Huffington. He's claiming that she posted some quotes of his on her blog and wrongly put them under his byline, whereas she says that she had permission to do so. Something like that.

But does it really matter what the feud is about? Arianna, if I were you, keep this feud going! Not only are you involved in a feud with George Clooney, it's over blogging. Not acting, or politics. Blogging! You've dragged the handsomist man on earth down into the slime of the blogosphere, and he has to associate himself now with such nerds as ourselves. Well done!

A note on George Clooney. I first noticed him when he appeared on the show "Sisters" as a guy named "Falconer," who I don't think had a first or last name. He was just "Falconer." He and Sela Ward were quite the hot couple in my eyes.

I sort of thought he was my secret at the time. Nobody had heard of George Clooney. In fact, at that time, it was weird to even say the name. Hot men weren't named "George." They were named "Brad," or "Keanu".

But then came "E.R." and Clooney was unleashed upon all the world. Since then my personal feelings for him have died down, not in that I dislike him but I just take his good-lookingness for granted. It's like the sun. When you think about it, the sun is an amazing thing: it's really hot and really bright and really old. But we see it every damn day so it's not that big a deal. Clooney is like this. He is just so handsome that after a while you're just used to it. "Oh, George Clooney looked good in his tuxedo at the Oscars? Was it sort of like how he looked good in his tuxedo at the Golden Globes?"

That said, I wouldn't kick him out of my flame war for typing in all capital letters. Most nerdy women could probably happily die just knowing they were in the same zipcode as Clooney. But to actually have an argument with him about your blog. That means he cares. I personally can't believe he's even saying the word "blog." Actors don't really enjoy talking about blogging, probably because it gives them a geek stink when they talk about it.

But Clooney is stink-proof.

Bravo, Huffington. If I were you, keep this feud going on as long as possible. Take cheap shots! Say you thought "Good Night and Good Luck" was unimportant! Make Rosemary Clooney fat jokes. Whatever it takes! Don't let this moment go: it's once in a lifetime.
