PAT DOLLARD - 'SELF CONGRATULATORY' CLOONEY SLAMMED

Hollywood agent-turned-documentary maker PAT DOLLARD has attacked GEORGE CLOONEY's outspoken anti-war stance. Dollard - the former agent of regular Clooney colleague STEVEN SODERBERGH - is currently making a pro-war documentary about Marines fighting in Iraq. He was furious when Clooney urged more Democrats to speak out against the war and 'congratulated' himself for doing so. He tells PageSix.com, "I read something on the Internet in which someone was patting himself on the back for having the courage to oppose the war. "They actually equate bravery with speaking out against the president because (losing fans) might cost them one less servant at their Italian villa . . . It put me into a black rage and made me sick to my stomach." Dollard, a republican, also attacked the way supporters of the party in the entertainment industry have been ostracised, adding, "Being a Republican in Hollywood today is not much different than being a communist in Hollywood in the 1950s. I'm not trying to overstate the case, but the reality is there is a blacklist in Hollywood. It's very MCCarthy-like. It just shows the hypocrisy of the left."
