Kerry: Pardon Clooney!

Earlier today I posted quickly on Twitter about the arrests of George Clooney, Jim McGovern, and Jon Olver outside the Sudan embassy in Washington. It led to this unexpected exchange with Senator John Kerry:

David S. Bernstein ‏ @dbernstein

Mass. congressmen McGovern & Olver reportedly arrested protesting at Sudan embassy. Oh, also George Clooney. #mapoli

John Kerry ‏ @JohnKerry

I leave you three alone for 5 mins… MT @dbernstein McGovern & Olver reportedly arrested at Sudan embassy. Oh, also George Clooney. #mapoli

David S. Bernstein ‏ @dbernstein

@JohnKerry The question is, if you can only bail out two of them, who do you leave in the clink? Olver, McGovern, or Clooney?

John Kerry ‏ @JohnKerry

 @dbernstein Bail 4 reps (so many congressman in jail already) and pardon 4 GC
