1. Contributed during primary race

It would have been even more interesting if he donated to Kerry before he had clinched the nomination

2. That would have been! From CNN

Pro-war Dems? This stuff is a trip.

CLOONEY'S MESSAGE FOR PRO-WAR DEMS: George Clooney has a message for Democratic office-holders who voted for the war in Iraq, only to claim later that they'd been misled by President Bush: F--- you!" The movie star's argument -- directed at the likes of presidential wannabes Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry and John Edwards -- is actually more nuanced than that. But not by much. "The fear of being criticized can be paralyzing," Clooney writes today on Huffingtonpost.com -- pumping up the volume after banging the drum of Hollywood liberalism in his Oscar acceptance speech. "Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the runup to the war. In 2003, a lot of us were saying, where is the link between Saddam and Bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11? We knew it was bulls---. New York Daily News: A furious George hits gutless Dems

3. Clooney's actual post does not mention Kerry

I don't know why Dems are continuing to let Blinky off the hook.

6. Kerry could only get 9 Senators to sign his letter

on The WMD program part 2, which references the DSM. I really don't know why it was so hard to get signatures. Reid took the Senate into closed session months later - still I haven't heard anything.

My comment was very poorly written - I was simply saying Feingold didn't sign Kerry's letter. (It likely means less to him that the vote was essentially irrelevant to whether there was war.
