- Clooney is hosting a $10,000 per plate fundraising event for Barack Obama in the Swiss Alps after Barack Obama''''s Hawaiian idyll.
The candidate has 300 foriegn policy advisors from academia, from government, and from the best think tanks around. He''''s got ex-State Department, ex-Military, ex-CIA, and ex-Executive Branch hires deluging him with policy papers and advice.
And he turns to George Clooney for advice on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Maybe Obama should make the Hollywood star an ambassador. Just think of the glamor, the glitz, the glow of celebrity from having Clooney in his Administration.
Think of the catastrophe...

- So the McCain people are all on the take from Georgians. No wonder "We are all Georgians !" emanates from the McCain campaign. What is this Republican obsession with making foreign countries over in our image ? The world is filled with "nations" that have longstanding grievances with their neighbors. The U.S. cannot and should not adjudicate international feuds centuries old. George Washington warned us against this - John McCain is "ready to lead" us into yet another war.

- How many times has McCain vetted his campaign workers for conflict of interest and theoretically established guidelines for disclosure and recusal for those that remained? Far too many -- yet clearly still not enough -- yet as indicated he has yet to demonstrate that his staff. as lobbyists (or even recently past lobbyists) to disclose there relationships (or recent relationships) and/or to defer participation in events where past relationships could inappropriately influence recommendations. The Republicans as a whole have little to no recognition of the meaning of conflict of interest. The inability to recognize conflict of interest biases is a significant disability when in comes to running any aspect of an organization. When this organization is the US Government with it''s Domestic and Foreign Policy the inability of a campaign or official to control conflict of interest biases should be a critical issue for all voters as well as those involved in any confirmation process for appointees.
