Okay, first the bad news.

In what defamer has affectionately called Clooneygate, it appears that everybody's favorite non-candidate for President did not actually write Monday's Huff-blog post. Apparently those bad people at Huffington blog found it incumbent to piece together the blog from George's other interviews. Obviously, there's some question as to who is to blame for this snafu. The Huffington Post blames Stan Rosenfield, George's publicist. Stan blames Huff-post.

Ari doesn't really care, but since George is vexed, he's put out hits on everyone regardless.

The good news is that George has donated his entire Oscar swag bag to the United Way so they can auction it off for charity. So, everybody call the United Way. A Tahitian pearl necklace? Is that *supposed* to sound like one of estrella30's sex kinks?

In other news, if anyone has mp3s of Sing Sing's 'Sing-Sing and I' or anything by the Pocket Dwellers besides 'Shine' I would be most grateful.

The impression I get is that he's not upset with what they did, but how they presented it (http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1173687,00.html?cid=email-peopledaily-20060316-1173687).

I blogged about this last night. What astounds me is that people would think he wouldn't be pissed. Let's not forget that two journalists *rights* (if Larry King has rights) were infringed. The Guardian (or the journalist who interviewed George for the Guardian) own one interview - which was plagiarised and not even quoted with references - and the other body of text comes from what must be a transcript of George's appearance on Larry King. I don't believe Larry writes for print media - but he might.

So, a large part of it is that she took *other people's* work and mis-represented it. With his perspective on all things journalistic and political he must have been friging furious. Go check defamer again - the row keeps on going and the icon they've used is cute.
