George Clooney Calls White House After Biden Criticized His Wife's Work To Arrest Israeli Prime Minister

George Clooney — probably the fourth or fifth best Batman, depending on who you ask — was reportedly none-too-pleased that President Joe Biden criticized his wife Amal's work with the International Criminal Court's decision to seek an arrest warrant for Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to The Washington Post, the ICC sought to charge Hamas leaders — real terrorists — as well as Israeli leaders like Netanyahu — read: victims of terrorism — with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous," Biden said in a statement. "And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security."

Biden was on the money with that one, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

But The Washington Post reports that Clooney was upset over this statement because his wife was involved. So, he called one of Biden's top aides, Steve Ricchetti, and complained like a little league parent whose kid is batting at the bottom of the order.

He was also mad that the Biden administration was open to sanctioning the ICC because that would affect his wife.

Well, then maybe she shouldn't have worked on a flimsy attempt to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister. 

Ever consider that, George?

Clooney Needs To Stay In His Lane 

I can understand wanting to stand up for your lady, but I hate when people start meddling in their partner's work life.

Captain Flowbee seems to forget that his wife is the attorney, while he's the guy sitting around, twiddling his thumbs, and waiting around for a call to do Oceans 14. There's no reason he should be calling one of Biden's top aides on foreign policy matters. 

Guy, I know you fancy yourself an activist, but stay in your lane!

However, there is another element to this story that really makes things interesting. I mean good enough to whip up a bag of Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn (or whatever your brand is), kick back, and enjoy the show.

This alleged blowup comes just a few weeks before Clooney is set to be part of a star-studded fundraiser for Biden in Los Angeles.

Clooney is expected to attend, and boy, would it be fun to be a fly on the wall when he tries to chat with Biden.
