Oh don't hold back, George





Clooney: Failed Fucking Screenwriter Steve Bannon Would Be Licking My Ass If He Was Still In Hollywood

September 9, 2017 News, Politics

WOW. Entertainment Weekly reports:

Steve Bannon has called himself a “street fighter,” but George Clooney has another way to describe the controversial former advisor to President Donald Trump: a “failed f—ing screenwriter.”

Speaking to journalists at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday to promote his new film, the racially-charged Suburbicon, Clooney unloaded on Bannon, who will appear on Sunday’s 60 Minutes for his first televised interview since leaving the White House last month.

“I like picking fights. I like that Breitbart News wants to have my head. I’d be ashamed 10 years from now if those weaselly little putzes, whose voices are getting a lot higher every week as this presidency starts to look worse and worse weren’t still [after me],” Clooney said.

“Steve Bannon is a failed f—ing screenwriter, and if you’ve ever read [his] screenplay, it’s unbelievable. Now, if he’d somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he’d still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my ass to get me to do one of his stupid-ass screenplays.”


Hit the link because Clooney DOES go on.

I've worked with George and count him as one of my friends. He's as genuine as his comments and why those of us in the broad media have smelled the stink of Brannon and Trump from miles away.

They are suck-up amateurs and loathed by cast and crew. No one respected them.

Funny how they garnered such respect from their peers yet they constantly infuriated them.

Surely he must have a better way of describing his rancor than resorting to such words?

Or perhaps not

Especially about the "voices getting higher."

Probably we'd both better duck.....

Is best watched with a couple of atheists making fun of it. "Torchbearer," starring Phil Robertson.

Bannon like his boss, Agent Orange, is a fraud and punk with a big mouth. Confronted directly, bullies wither like a dehydrated house plant..

he owes that putrid career and breitbart's 'success' to 30 years of unchallenged bullshit from 1500 talk radio stations
