George Clooney’s weasel words can’t hide his wolf-like killing of Biden’s career

I spent part of my summer with George Clooney.
Well, I was in a villa 500 yards from his sumptuous Italian home in Lake Como, where he was holidaying with his old pal Brad Pitt.
And we didn’t meet as such, despite my sons suggesting we pop round for a lads’ night of pool and Peronis, which would probably have gone down as well as suggesting to Tim Waltz that he take a lie detector test about his military record.
But given our proximity, I did ponder on how Clooney was feeling about his other old pal, Joe Biden.
After all, it was he who first publicly plunged the knife into Biden’s back with a withering op-ed in the New York Times in which he demanded his presidential head on a plate.
Clooney unsheathed his political dagger after seeing how badly Biden performed on stage at a glitzy fundraiser he hosted for him in Los Angeles in mid-June, and then in the now-infamous, catastrophic TV debate with Donald Trump.
The op-ed headline was blunt: “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee.”
But it was the details of Clooney’s reasoning that were so brutal.
“It’s devastating to say it,” he wrote, “but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F— deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate … we are not going to win in November with this president.”
