Brad Pitt’s Likes George Clooney And Ben Affleck As Political Candidates - PIC

Brad Pitt is trying to pull his friends into the political ring. He recently told Parade magazine, “George [Clooney] should do it! He’d be quite good.” But George isn’t the only contender in Brad’s book. He also said, “I think Ben Affleck should run.”

I hear what he’s saying about George, but really? Ben Affleck? The guy just doesn’t strike me as presidential, or senatorial, or council-like for the matter.

Brad also strikes back at those that think he’s only into being a humanitarian because of Angelina Jolie.

“That’s idiotic! I do it because I’m a member of the human race. In Africa you see people on the street dying from AIDS, children left without parents. We’re all cells of one body, with the same emotions and desires for our families — for a little dignity and a chance for a better life. Let’s focus on that! I believe in the founding principles of America. I want to fight for that. I know most Americans feel the same way.”
