ANGELINA JOLIE HELPING TO GUIDE AMERICA ABROAD?

Wikipedia.org explains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_foreign_relations|the mission] of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), in part, as:

Its mission is promoting understanding of foreign policy and America's role in the world. Meetings are convened at which government officials, global leaders and prominent members debate major foreign-policy issues.

These are the guys the guy in the White House takes advice from on how the USA should behave on planet Earth. Now, if you were to look at the planet Earth and how America behaves in it, you'd probably think "CFR" stood for "Crappy Foolish Relations." I mean, either these guys are idiots or Bush and Co. are lying when they say advice is taken from the CFR. Well, after this latest bit of news, I can't help but think the latter. They've decided to ask Angelina Jolie to join them. Now, anyone who knows me or anyone who visits this site regularly is aware that I have a BIG crush on Angelina Jolie. I think she's a good actor, she's HOT and she's a pretty kind and generous person to be a UN good will ambassador and to have adopted so many kids from 3rd world countries. But should she be helping guide America's foreign policy? Ahhhh, well? Would you want the woman who thought Tomb Raider II was a good movie to be advising the guy in the White House? I mean, [http://pocketreviews.net/lara-croft-tomb-raider-cradle-of-life|I enjoyed that movie] but that doesn't mean I want someone who was dumb enough to admit publicly that it was a good film to make suggestions to King George the W on how to handle other countries. I hope and pray that she'll make smart suggestions. But save for two films, I just don't think she's made the smartest choices for roles. I mean, come on, Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Big dumb action movie. Hackers? Fun, but ultimately, not exactly a classic of American cinema. Same goes for Taking Lives. And Angelina was NUDE in that one. And what about Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow?? I mean--WTF was that piece of crap? Seriously, that movie was worse than Dungeons & Dragons for crying out loud! And Alexander?? Why did she think playing his mom would be a good role for her? They couldn't give her make-up to look as old as she should have looked (because they could have cast anyone in that case) and as a result I kept wondering why Alex's mom looked like she must have been 2 year! s old when she gave birth to Alex since they looked so close in age! Now, I have to say that she was absolutely brilliant in Gia. And I shouldn't suggest that she didn't do a good job acting in most of the movies I've seen her in. Even in the Tomb Raider movies she did her research, nailed the accent and didn't phone it in like most actors do when cast in video game movies. So, I give her a lot of credit. That said, I still don't think she's qualified for the CFR. Sure, she's been around the world working to protect human rights the only way a totally sexy movie star can. Sure, she's spoken out on many different issues without drawing the slings and arrows of pundits who think Hollywood types aren't allowed to form their own opinions or have time to read. Sure, she's adopted children at a time in American history when adoption hasn't been further from the national spotlight. Most people cling to the belief that having your own kids is the most important thing. While she did eventually have her own kid with the good Mr. Pitt (no slouch in the acting department, either) she still provides a good example to future parents everywhere. Her message? Help the future adults of the world by taking care of presently abandoned children. Once again, I'm a huge admirer of her--but is she CFR material? I don't think so. Then again, who knows--maybe her kind of idealism and blind hope (that movies will be better than they obviously would end up being) is exactly what the CFR needs to make serious changes in the direct America is going in. Maybe her sheer hotness factor will distract the other folks at the CFR into doing something that just might be good for this old planet called Earth. One thing is for certain, this post made for a great excuse to post a bunch of Angelina Jolie pictures! Come on Google, DO YOUR MAGIC! :D
