Meet the newest member of the Council on Foreign Relations: George Clooney. The Oscar winner has been granted life membership in the prestigious think tank — Charlie Rose and NYT columnist Nick Kristof nominated him. CFR’s vice president Lisa Shields cited the actor’s advocacy on the Darfur crisis and the “importance of non-traditional voices” in foreign policy. (Michael Douglas and Warren Beatty are also life members; Angelina Jolie scored a term memberships set aside for junior wonks in 2007.) In a statement via CFR, Clooney said, “I’m honored to have been nominated… And I hear the initiation ritual is wild.”
