Matt Damon Speaks Out

In an interview with Associated Press Matt Damon expressed concern that Sarah Palin might become president.

“And I think that’s a really scary thing because I don’t know anything about her, I know she was a mayor of a really, really small town. And she was governor of Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand . . . I think the pick was made for political purposes but in terms of governance it’s a disaster.”

and

“You do the actuary tables and there’s a one-out-of-three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it will be President Palin . . . It’s like a bad Disney movie,” “ ‘I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska.’ And she’s the president,”

and

“And it’s like she’s facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd. It’s totally absurd.”

If you listen to the interview, you can hear, the interviewer, presumably, laughing along. Screw AP too.

Let's see how many levels this is offensive on.......
1) Actuaries are probably offended at their profession being included in the ramblings of Susan Sarandon with a penis. Matt Damon has probably never done long division let alone look at an actuarial table. By the way you might think that Tim Robbins would be a better Susan Sarandon with a masculine appendage, but his wife hasn't given it back yet.
2) John McCain may be offended, imagine his surprise at finding out he might die in the next eight years. This hitting at the age issue was something many predicted months ago, age bashing is the only issue the dimocrats can safely play, the platform has no public content that plays to the whole electorate. The hidden and implied platform is another matter. See "Atlas Shrugged" for research.
3) Sarah Palin, during this past week, with lipstick comments, and attacks from entertainment gadflies, the strong personality of this candidate was not even dented. My reaction was that if either of these men spoke about my wife in that way, with such disrespect, they would face my physical response. Naturally this is not allowed so these snivelling little back stabbers will continue their ways until everyone stops listening. Yes I understand that the lipstick statement was said within the pretext of another topic, but when you read the reaction of the audience during that speech it is clear that every follower in the room understood that Obama was taking an off-color swipe at McCain's expected policy direction and Sarah Palin's person.
4) Mr. Damon being a popular actor grants you no license to fill my ears with your simple fears even if through acting these phobois are portrayed as deep thoughts. You are a dimocrat that fears strength in leadership. Strength shown by former prisoners of war, strength shown by independent female governors, and strength shown by sitting presidents. Strength is foreign to you so you must tear it down. I hope you fail, Mr. Asshole of the Week.
