"Most of the money I make on the [Nespresso] commercials I spend keeping a satellite over the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir [the Sudanese dictator charged with war crimes at The Hague]," the Oscar winner said in Paris on Tuesday. "Then [Omar al-Bashir] puts out a statement saying that I'm spying on him and how would I like it if a camera was following me everywhere I went and I go 'Well, welcome to my life Mr. War Criminal.' I want the war criminal to have the same amount of attention that I get. I think that's fair."

I have enjoyed many of Clooney's films, but I have hated his liberal politics. I saw him as a typical vapid Hollywood actor. He is deeper and more dedicated than I gave him credit. Omar al-Bashir is a villain worth buying a satellite to watch.
