You know it’s bad when you’ve lost George Looney.
Sorry - Clooney.
The A-list actor, an outspoken leftist who has been an ardent supporter of Biden, wrote a letter to top Dems this week saying he believes the party should nominate someone other than Joe Biden to the top of the ticket heading into the November election, claiming that Biden’s demeanor at a recent star-studded fundraiser pales in comparison to his energy in 2020.
"It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010," Clooney wrote. "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," he went on. ”On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
"Top Democrats," he went on, "need to ask this president to voluntarily step aside."
Oof.
That would be the same fundraiser, you may recall, in which a seemingly confused Biden had to be led off the stage by former President Barack Obama, who gently took the 82-year-old president’s hand and guided him away in a slow shuffle after Biden appeared to get lost staring blankly at the crowd.

The White House came out defiantly against the video, saying the moment wasn’t what it appeared to be and accusing conservatives of altering, editing, and misreporting clips showing Biden appearing to go comatose at highly publicized events.
So it’s interesting, then, that one of the main Hollywood attendees - and a rabid Biden supporter - would come out how, following Biden’s disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump, and say Biden appeared lass-than-up to the task at the event. Which is literally what we all saw, only to be told we were liars and idiots for our trouble.
In the meantime, Biden has continued to refuse to drop out of the race, vowing that he’ll not only remain the Democrat nominee, but that he’ll beat Trump come November.
