When Celebrities Get Political

Every once in a while DC gets a little dose of celebrity. They're usually here to shoot scenes for some government based movie or they have some sort of political agenda for their charities. People don't come to DC to hang out, especially celebrities. Recently we had Angelina Jolie doing whatever it is she does, Reese Witherspoon at Burger King, Ryan Phillipe in a park in Vienna, Jessica Simpson "lobbying" and last but not least, Anna Nicole Smith at the Supreme Court. Yesterday, George Clooney was at the National Press Club, with Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Sam Brownback discussing ongoing genocide in Darfur. How political of him. He's actually a rather articulate guy which almost makes me not want to slap him when he does that little smirk.
