Hugh Hewitt: Why George Clooney Should Reach Out to GOP on Sudan




Conservative talker Hugh Hewitt doesn't see eye to eye with George Clooney on most political matters.

But Hewitt appreciates Clooney's recent efforts to spread awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, and the talk show host is bold enough to throw the outspoken liberal praise when it's richly deserved.

Clooney could really help matters if he did what Hewitt is doing now - looking past ideology differences. In Clooney's case, that means reaching across the aisle to ensure the press pays more attention to news out of Sudan:

  • There's a very good chance that Rick Santorum knows a great deal about Sudan from his long years studying the various Islamist dictatorships while in the Senate. That knowledge doesn't fit the MSM's narrative and especially not the snark that passes for reporting on the GOP race (a very striking contrast with the homage that defines the coverage of the president), but it will take a lefty like George to redirect the news coverage. If he really, really wants to do that, he should reach out to the conservatives who know the score in Sudan and have for a long time, and who have been delivering help their for a decade. George Clooney asking Rick Santorum to sit down to talk Sudan --now that would get headlines and press time, but there is probably a limit to what George is willing to do to help the cause.
