What's with Matt Damon?

Hmmm, Gidget Goes to the White House! George Bush has always been pretty "folksy", hasn't he?

I don't think that, but maybe that is what this country could use right now - some folksey, down home, country pride, family raising, blue collar fighters. what has been running this country for so many many years is the upper, uppity 'never been without" kind of people. Haven't had a "blue collar" person in office or even near it in .... how long? Can't remember! Maybe that is what is needed for the president, whom ever he may be... to bring their efforts back to this country instead of always sending to to other countries and letting the USA fall by the way side. I mean, a hurricane just hit, been so many I forget their names, but just hit New Orleans...again.. and they estimate damage between 8-10 billion dollars. But has any money gone there yet? Not that i have heard, but Georgia gets attacked by Russia and the final bullet hasn't even been shot and we are sending 8 billion dollars over there for reconstruction. I don't think a "folksey" person would have done that!

I think that is the best political comment so far this campaign. Did you actually read the article? I laughed so hard that I almost fell off my chair. he is so right about the remark. "You do the actuary tables, there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin," said Damon... "It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president," said Damon. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,420621,00.html

I've seen the video of what you are referring to and I couldn't agree more with Matt. I do not recall him referring to her as folksy. I recall him saying she was a dangerous and scary woman because it is quite possible if McCain is elected he won't survive very far into his term and he's afraid of her because she will eventually have the codes for nuclear weapons. He wants to know whether or not she's actually tried to ban books and he's curious as to whether or not she actually believes that dinosaur's have roamed the earth. He doesn't want someone in office that tries to ban literature and that doesn't believe that certain events that have been proven to have occured, have occured because they're all high and mighty about the bible. I couldn't agree more with him. She is a very dangerous woman. She has nothing to offer us except for a very scary future.

Matt Damon is probably a city dweller and has no concept of how it is for someone who has grown up in a small town where everyone is their neighbor. The familiarity of small town dwellers is something that doesn't seem real to people who haven't lived with it.

Oh such a lot of talk of Sarah Palin in the UK newspapers!they say that the UK needs a gutsy woman like Sarah to speak out.But most of all she is an attractive young woman,she appeals to people with her openesss.

i know that my comment may be a little too late but, yes, matt damon just went too far with that comment of his on sarah palin. i mean i know disney may be about cookie cutter movies but it's an institution that demands respect. same thing with sarah palin. she may look like a comedy or may come across as a candidate only equipped with her looks but that person was voted by a state and that in itself demands silence to those who may not like her. peace .
