George Clooney defends Obama during booze-fueled argument

The New York Post reports:

George Clooney and Steve Wynn recently learned there really are some things you shouldn’t bring up at the dinner table.

During a glitzy dinner in Las Vegas two weeks ago, the actor, 52, and hotel magnate, 72, got into a tiff over politics, specifically, President Obama.

“He called the president an asshole … that is a fact … I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said ‘your friend is an asshole.’ … At that point I told Steve that HE was an asshole and I wasn’t going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass,” Clooney told the Las Vegas Review Journal in an email sent via his publicist.
