Sep 10 2008Matt Damon: Sarah Palin is like 'a really bad Disney movie'

Palin is a moron

HAHAHAHAH!!

Score one for Hockey Moms!!

i agree 100%. he did jason bourne her.

I fucking love Matt Damon.

I fucking love Matt Damon.

<3 Matt Damon.

Matt Damon. Political flea.

Matt Damon sucks. He was in the brother's grimm, that movie was horrible.

Matt Damon is just another fucking hollywood idiot

FIRE!!!!

I fucking hate Matt Damon

i feel ambivalent about matt damon. he's pretty low on my celebrity to-do list, but i absolutely agree with everything he's said. sarah palin scares me. sarah palin as president makes me fear for the world.

How many times did Matt Damon say, "I don't understand." No shit Matt, did you forget? You're a fucking retard. HELLLLOOOOOO?????

I couldn't agree more

matt damon is my hero.

Please tell me that the majority of Americans agree with this. How can anyone seriously think the prospect of Sarah Palin as president of the most powerful country in the world is a good thing?

Is Damon for Obama?

"Matt Damon sent Sarah Palin back to dinosaur times and she didn't even get to ride one, you bitch!"

Matt Damon for President...if the Terminator can be Governor then fuckin' Jason Bourne can lead this country!

The president isn't the most powerful person in the country......stupid ass

I know one thing... Sarah Palin is NOT fucking Matt Damon

WELL I will exempt Matt Damon 100% from my title "Yank and Wank - they rhyme for a reason" so refreshing to see an American not mincing their words & sugaring everything up and cutting through the SHIT and spitting it like it is.
It IS absurd and he used that word about 7 times so I suppose he REALLY does think its totally ABSURD too!
In fact MATT DAMON for president.

Damon's got a good point. Despite the fact that I cringe whenever I hear movie/music stars talk politics, it's so blatantly, obviously scary how unqualified she is and how much personal drama she brings to the table.

Anyone who thinks Damon is a retard or a fucking moron needs to get his or her shit checked. If you think Palin has enough experience to be Commander in Chief, you're a retard. The reason Damon doesn't understand the choice is because IT'S FUCKING MIND-BOGGLING!

No one has to die for Obama to be president and he doesnt have as much experience as Palin. That's that bad thing in all of this.

This guy is right. I hadn't really thought about it, kind of liked her and still want to hear her in a debate. But it apprears that picking her is a reckless mistake typical of the 21st century Republican party. Luckily that from the Congress on down, these people are going to lose a lot of position.

Amen!

i can't let a community organizer have the nuclear codes

Who gives a flying fuck what Matt thinks. rofl

Sick of celebrities (although it really only seems like dems who do this) who use their popularity as a platform for politics, or anything else besides promoting movies, music, etc. Bunch of ass clowns with the competence of a can opener.

Right. She's scary. I mean what's she ever done besides actually running a city and a state? And smack some oil companies and corrupt politicians in her own party? If she only hadn't done that, and ran her mouth off for 35 years in D.C., she could be as qualified as Biden.

But the guy who's never done anything besides write two autobiographies, who starts running for a new job as soon as he gets elected to another one, who like Bin Laden has a close friend who bombed the Pentagon, who gives his wife's company a million dollars in tax dollars right after they triple her salary to 300k, who can't wait to meet with terrorists around the world but has to be dragged into meeting US commanders, who when faced with corrupt Chicago politicans said nothing but "Can you help me a buy a house?", etc.. is qualified to run the country. Obama isn't qualified to run the drive-thru at Wendy's, let alone a nation.

Not that I like Palin, but the "dinosaur" and "book burning" comments were fake quotes posted on some dude's blog. Anderson Cooper interviewed the blogger last night and he confirmed the were joke quotes on a blog NOT intended to reach major sites as factual.

A lot of people believe them though, it looks like Matt Damon fell for them too. I'm sure he'll realize his error and feel sheepish in a day or so. I couldn't find the vid on youtube, but here is the article that shows that those quotes are BS.

Man, it's hard to respect celebrities when they open their mouth and don't say something that a person who actually went to college wrote.

END RANT

I completely agree with him. Does anyone know if she has ever tried to ban books? What skeltons are in her closet from college. What do we know about her? I understand she is a member of a fanatical Christian Church that makes Scientology look normal....

President Palin - has a great ring to it. Here's how it will likely play out:

1. McCain wins in November, and does survive his first term, which is defined by a reduction in wasteful spending by the Congress.

2. Palin seeks and obtains the Republican nomination and serves two terms, taking the US to 2020 with a streamlined, much-reduced federal government, and a much-reduced tax burden on every American.

I fucking love Matt Damon. I didn't before, never really thought about it at all, but that all changed after watching this. "I wanna know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. She's going to have nuclear codes."

Brilliant. Matt Damon is my new hero.

I agree 100% with everything he has said. That b*tch is stark raving mad, bat shit crazy. Screw putting her anywhere near the Oval Office, she'll turn that sh*t square.

And I thought Matt Damon had a brain.

I want obama to win just so I can see a black president. Because I think that no matter who wins, it's all the same. The same puppet master. Black president plz. The End.

Hilarious. Melissa-- Im sick of fat pigs like you who think they have something smart to say.

Stick to bikinis and get out of politics. This shit is stupid, as is that idiot Matt Damon.

@Melissa, If Damon has the competence of a can opener then how about you? I'm pretty positive Matt Damon could post a comment without submitting it three times.

How do you like them apples, Sarah Palin?

Another reason to vote for McCain/Palin....Matt Damon doesn't like her. What a maroon.

THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!!
THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!!
THE QUOTES ARE FAKE!!
SARAH DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT RUBBISH!!!!

MATT DAMON IS A F*CKING RETARD LIKE ALL OF HOLLYWOOD.

http://blogs.bellinghamherald.com/index.php?blog=12&title=coming_in_15_minutes_palin_and_lizards_o&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Right on, Dave C. Probably a bit ambitious, but I love the spirit. Talking trash is not Jason Bourne's style. Damon's acting more like Barack Obama.

Matt Damon.. from Harvard University.. I think he know what he is talking about.

Matt Damon is fucking awesome, it's official. All we need is Joan Allen helping him out and you'll have a motherfucking blockbuster.

Damon-Allen '12, you know it makes sense.

A maroon what? His shirt has more of a puce hue to it.

I don't just fucking love Matt Damon, I'm FUCKING MATT DAMON!!!!

Actually she did try to ban books. She wanted to censor many of the books in the library in the small town she was mayor of. She also threatened to fire the librarian if she did not ban these books. Of course no one would let her do this, and so she dropped it.

She also tried to sue the Federal Government for putting Polar Bears on the endangered species list - true story.

Whoever thinks Sarah Palin could do a good job needs to be smacked in the head because they obviously are not thinking clearly. WTF people WTF.

GEORGE BUSH IS FROM YALE - DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS TOO? LOSER.

I didn't know Matt Damon could do math . . .
Didn't he NOT graduate from Harvard?

NUMBER ONE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU HATE SARAH PALIN OR NOT... DAMON'S ARGUMENT IS COMPLETELY SEXIST AND OUTDATED AND THAT IS THE POINT HERE. DID HE SERIOUSLY ACT LIKE A HOCKEY MOM COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE? OBVIOUSLY, HER BEING A MOTHER HASN'T EFFECTED HER GOVERNING HER HOME STATE AND THE SPORT THAT HER CHILDREN PLAY AND THAT SHE SUPPORTS IS NOT A VALID POLITICAL POINT. MAYBE MATT DAMON SHOULD STICK TO KIMMEL/SILVERMAN PARODIES AND KEEP HIS 1950'S IDEALS DEEP INSIDE HIS EMPTY HEAD.

I will agree with Matt Damon, I don't trust anything that bleeds for 4 days and doesn't die.......

Who's the "maroon" Kevin?

Matt Damon's impotent, right?

Give me a freakin break. and B.Obama is qualified? Never had an executive position at any level, not sure if he's had a private sector job, has not done anything in the senate except self promotion, and can't even write is own political puns...has to steal them from a cartoonist. Give me a Mayor/Governor who understands local needs politics and fire all these assholes in Washington...republican and democrat

John McCain & Sarah Palin are wrong for this country...bottomline: SHE IS A RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST and HE IS NO MAVERICK

I nominate Matt Damon for president of HOT.

I think Team America said it best:

Helen Hunt: I'm... Helen Hunt!
Samuel L. Jackson: Samuel L. Jackson!
Matt Damon: [stupidly] Mmmaaattt Dammmmmooonnnn!

Fucking typical Liberal bullshit. Always playing the god damn scare tactics angle. The reason is they don't know shit, and the typical ignorant asshole who never picks up a paper to read the news does not shit either. They see dipshits like Matt Damon spouting off and think Matt Damon is a celebrity so I will vote and think the way he does.

AAAAAAAAAAAhaaah, right on Jason Bourne!

I hear those quotes were made up. Matty Matt...shut up and watch some baseball or something.

MATT DAMON IS A FUCKING IDIOT first of all, McCain alone has more experience then the other party put together. Last I checked Palin is not running for president herself. What's scarier, Obama for president or Palin for VP.

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

I think #63 said it best

Ummm 64?! Liberals play the scare tactics angle? Dude the only thing that was discussed at the RNC is our Nation's Security and 9/11 and how we need someone who can keep our country safe and how if Obama wins our country will not be secure. Republicans invented using scare tactics to get people to vote for them. Also, no one is going to vote for someone because Matt Damon tells them to. They will not vote for Palin because they're sane. Grow up.

Matt Damon thinks soccer moms shouldn't be mayor, or governor, or VP.

Well I think actors shouldn't try to comment on politics they don't understand. Everyone has their place, right Mr. Damon?

Damon proved what a butt monkey he is. He should check his facts before he flaps his man hungry lips. Anyone of my dogs or goats is more qualified than Obama to be president. The greatest generation created the most self absorbed generation with a sense of entitlement added.

Entertainers, with either conservatives or liberal views, should just shut their pie hole up. They are constantly surrounded by sycophants who tell them how great they are, so naturally they think that extends outside the studios or stage.

Never forget 9-11-01

OH YEAH AND NUMBER TWO HE COMPLETELY INVALIDATES HIS OWN VIEWS BY SPEAKING ABOUT "WHAT IF" SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT AND HOW THAT WOULD BE SO HORRIBLE BY CITING HER AS NOT BEING QUALIFIED... UHH, HELLO HAVE YOU MET OBAMA? YEAH... HE ACTUALLY IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.... THAT'S LIKE A BAD MOVIE THEY RUN ONLY ON BET(HOW'S THAT FOR AN OUTDATED WAY OF THINKING? WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT DAMON HAS) SOME SCARY MOVIE WHERE SOME AFRICAN AMERICAN GUY COMES OUT OF NO WHERE TRYING TO BE PRESIDENT BASED ON CHARISMATIC STOLEN SPEECHES. NOW WE'VE MADE IT AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD FOR MATT DAMON'S WAY OF THINKING... ENJOY.

Sarah Palin got where she is on her on her own merits. I, Hilary Clinton, got where am because I rode on my husband’s coattails.

Speaking of absurd, how about celebrities doing political analysis?

tfis is how it goes:
- the vietnam hero will have a heart attack at the 2nd phone call

-piggie palin takes the chair.

-fucking cold war because of a bitchy hairdresser from Alaska.

Gee, even the muslim Obama it's awesome compared to this!

http://theoldarcade.blogspot.com

Yeah Right #72.
Inside job ?
Having any problems with free-fall collapse speed through undamaged steel structure? Molten metal in the ruins ? Stand down of NORAD - that type of thing .. ?

Math Damon... Matt Damon South Park put him in his place

fuck all these candidates. none of them want to legalize drugs and all of them want to keep war on the table with nations like iran.

Wow...I got so much more respect for Matt. He is totally right!

If Sarah Palin is so in touch with community issues, why did she make rape victims in Wasilla pay for their own rape kits? Shouldn't the mayor want to put rapists behind bars? That sounds like a pretty important community issue to me.

http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2000/05/23/news.txt

This is not from a blog or a made up story. It is an actual article from the local paper in Wasilla.

Sarah Palin !!!!!! get your bitch ass in the kitchen.................and make me some pie!!!!

Umm, anyone think that dinosaurs WERE here 4,000 years ago? They were here MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of years ago...duh.

Then again someone really nerdy will say that crocodiles, sharks, dragonflies, and other species' variants have been here during and SINCE the age of dinosaurs. Nerds!

HOWEVER...as an outsider (not american) I cannot imagine McCain winning the election. Palin is a knee-jerk reaction to Obama not having Clinton as his VP (maybe she refused?). It's sad that the media is eating this up and feeding it to the US public. Nevermind her scarce political or wacked out religious background. Die hard Republicans will endorse a fuc*ing mannequin if it was put in her place. I don't get how the Republicans who have screwed over the US so badly stand a shot of getting in again. McCain is the new face, everyone in the background stays the same. Wake up America!

"Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving." ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton

What are conservatives doing reading thesuperficial anyway? Is nothing sacred anymore? Why shouldn't entertainers speak their minds about their political views. Some of those entertainers have bigger brains than most of you anyway.

PS: The victims of 9-11 don't want you using them and their honor as your excuse to encourage and support a fraudulent war or to support the extreme right-wing, anti-equality psycho-babble bullspit.

I'm not sure why actors feel compelled to try to swing votes to their favorite liberal candidates. Matt Damon and his ilk are people who make a really good living by pretending(acting) to be other people! I wish they'd all just shut up, look pretty and hang out on the beach in bikinis, maybe get drunk and get in a fight, you know the stuff we've come to expect from them!

"Well played"

What's she going to do when Putin is glaring her down in Moscow, slap him on the back and start talking about fucking hockey? She's worse than Dan Quayle.

#59: Thank you for speaking some sense! And somehow Matt is implying that Barack Obama is substantially more qualified than Palin? The whole Reverend Wright ordeal made Obama look like a 'really bad Disney movie' as well. And don't forget that Obama's tenure as a community organizer and brief stint in the Senate makes him just as competent for the job as any Joe Blow in America. Just wow. Good thing I'm not voting for either McCain or Obama; I was out of this election as soon as the media overhauled the primary and the entire Democratic Party turned against the most qualified of the candidates: Clinton.

THAT ARTICLE IS FROM 2000!!!!

I didn't realize Matt Damn and I had so much in common. Well, that about sums up how I feel about her. Only I would not have said it in such nice terms. You are correct deacon, Palin is worse than Dan Quayle. I mean, what were the thinking when they picked her? The only was I can rationalize it, is to assume they are trying to throw the election. Makes sense.

Matt you dumb fuck. The sosh/racist running for President, Obama, has about as much or less experience as Palin. Clearly lacking intelligence like most actors.

Actually, here is what Obama has done. It doesn't sound like just a bunch of self-promotion to me.

Below I summarize Senator Obama's legislative record in the US Senate.
First I list the bills he sponsored that have become law.
Next I summarize the bills that he has sponsored or cosponsored since he became
a US Senator in 2005.
I have only included major pieces of legislation and have not summarized
continuing resolutions or naming post offices, for example.
His record suggests several priorities and the bills he supports address many
of our most pressing problems.

Climate Change (25 bills), health care (21 bills) and public health (20 bills),

Obama's Senate record, please feel free to send the link to this diary.
Helenann's diary

Hey #77 good point.
So # 1 - # 88 plus.....ummmm...
Personally I'm still having a few problems with concepts like gravity, resistance, and free fall collapse speed.
(Matt - maybe take out a protractor and help us out here.)

Matt Damon is absurd. I'd rather have Palin in the VP role than Obama in the P role. Also, his comments are called age discrimination -- I'm sure if it were something important like, oh, roles in Hollywood for aging actors, Matt Damon would be all over it saying "oh, age doesn't matter!".

Matt is an idiot.

So funny when celebs think they know something.

Guess he doesn't know that once the conservatives know his is a liberal they won't go to his movies.

Yup folks, thats how it really works

Gues what, Mack. They've known for years!

Gr8 points all #94-95
inside job ?

Gues what, Mack. They've known for years!

Palin has more experience than Obama, if you don't want a woman in office say that. Senators, especially freshman senators are not equipped to rule the country, everything else aside.

@92

That's the longest list of nothing I have ever seen congrats.

He's been a senator 2 years and absent most of it.

McCain... Landslide '08.

Democrats are obviously fucktarded if all they can muster is nobody from their crowd. Pretty damn pathetic. Hopefully we see the end of them. Shoulda been the end of them during the civil war as they were the pro slavery group hence the birth of the republican party. Glad to see the dem's haven't lost their roots in still using minorities for their own political gains. Like a horse been led by a carrot on a stick. They think so lowly of minorities that they constantly rehash them as a charity case every election and people wonder why there's still racial tensions in this country. Cuz idiots vote dem keeping it alive.

A village in Juno, Alaska has lost it's town idiot. Now that Palin has done the soccer mom, lipstick, hate Obama, ...blah, blah... thing. Where's the platform? Although Matt's a C-lister, I definitely agree with him.

O'bama's experience is questionable, too. However, I would be more comfortable with someone who has spent an ample amount of time studying the issues and has already built a platform than someone who was chosen to appeal to middle-aged soccer moms from small towns (aka - Hillary Clinton supporters). The fact that McCain made a campaign decision to win (e.g., attempting to take Clinton supporters) versus getting someone qualified to be president in the event that his old diaper wearing, corpse-looking @ss kicks the bucket, makes me question his judgement (more than I question Obama's). Sounds like that same selfish sh-t that Bush did when we invaded Iraq -- going after after someone who threaten his father at the expense of the entire country.

#67. Amen

Voting for Yoda I am. ; )

@ #64

Scare tactics???? HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!! Those who live in glass houses...

Isn't that why we invaded Iraq? Isn't that what the Republicans use to scare us into voting to the right?

Wake the f-ck up and form your own opinions and stop being the equivalent of a stepford wife (whatever the great Fox News say is the holy grail).

BTW, I've voted to the right in the past. I just have my own d-mn mind and make my own decisions & do not hang on every spin and retoric that comes from any political party. It seems like you don't do the same.

@104 - Damn dude, you're pretty bright and intelligent trolling a site like The Superficial. FAIL.

What a stupid, douche nozzle. Hey Matt, check the actuary tables and tell me the percentage that Obama will become president if we vote democrat... yeah 100%, and he is LESS qualified than Palin. She only ran Alaska for two years? Im sorry, did Obama run anything.. ever? No he is a first term senator who has spent the last 19 months campaigning.

Obama apparently doesn't think that the president has the 'pay grade' to make tough decicisons, and you don't have to worry about him staring down Putin. He will just give him a big man hug like he does Kwame Kilpatrick, then stop on the way home to have unconditional talks with Iran.

And I think enough people have already posted the links that prove the statements he quoted were jokes.

Matt Damon endorses Obama... all the reason in the world to vote Republican.

Ha Ha...he's correct.

Be afraid...very afraid.

I'm sure Palin cares what some hollywood dildo like Matt Damon 'thinks'. Matt, go make a decent movie and learn how to become a real actor with depth rather than a Stallone wannabe.

I can't believe people are saying they would rather have Palin as VP then Obama as President. Are you fucking retarded? The whole lacks experience thing is an easy target for both of them. It's been said before, look at Bush and Cheney's experience and look where it got us. I will not support anyone who thinks creationism should be taught in schools. I will not support anyone who wants to outlaw abortion. I will not support anyone who wants to deny homosexuals benefits or the right to marry. These bible toting dipshits need to get over themselves and take a look at the real world. If McCain is elected, I'm moving out of the country.

For all you moron's saying he's a celeb so he should shutup about politics obviously think the same about Arnold, Reagan, and Fred Thompson. So who is the moron?

'Frank' - Ignorant Mericans and shills seem to be invading.
'Frank' from 16th Floor : Knee, if they were Mericans - they'd answer the question.

These aren't Americans Knee. I knew Americans.

McCain with all his "experience" and "wisdom" ought to be ashamed of himself for voting with Bush, who let's face it, has turned this country into the laughing stalk that it has become, 90% of the time. All of the experience in the world doesn't make up for extreme stupidity. Barack Obama doesn't have the "experience" that McCain has but he has a big ass brain and a big ass heart. He's so freaking smart, that McCain had to steal his "change" slogan. Yeah, it's working, I guess that is what people want, so he's going to steal it.

@ 109

I will buy three one-way tickets, one for you, one for Matt and one for that gelatinous land mass Michael Moore.

Okay all this other political bullshit aside, I am SO sick of hearing about John McCains age. He would be only two years older than Reagan was when he became president.

If Palin becomes Pres, she's gonna make me Secretary of Muff-Diving.....she knows why ;)

"Running" Alaska is like running trees and snow. Actually, it's not like that, it is that. What exactly did that woman do besides kill lots of animals and pay herself for staying home? Alaska has the population of what? 10?

Yes, because Obama's 100 some odd days as a senator makes him soooo qualified. Obama is a joke when it comes to experience. Matt Damon is a celebrity moron and should take Obama's dick out of his mouth like all the other band wagon liberal idiots.

That's classy. Really classy.

#60...Palin is a religous extremist?

Last I checked Obama was the Muslim douche that won't even salute the flag and wants to change the National Anthem.

"For those of you who are geographically impaired" (to quote the great Jimmy Buffett) Alaska is as large as the second, third and fourth largest states combined (Texas, California and Montana) It population has grown about 20% every decade since the 50's and its population is as large as Cleveland and Saint Louis combined. Still have anything to say? Nah, I didnt think so.

Lessee: We have Damon, who makes his living pretending stuff, commenting on Palin, who is a state governor that actually (no pretending) cleaned up Alaskan corruption and sold the state jet to reign in spending.
Sounds like a no-brainer decision: I'd say Damon would do better to stick with fantasising about Jude Law..

Has anyone not noticed how the Republican Party Political Machine will not let Palin speak unless a speech has been made for her? Speak only when allowed to speak...is this what you guys want from a so called political leader? Does no one else find this sexist?

Wow, who gives a flying fuck what a Hollywood moron cares about an election either way. Does being able to sit still for make-up for 8 hours make you an Einstein? No, it barely raises you above boil on the ass of society.

just remember to vote Palin/McCain, so when i get to college, i can date rape your daughters and you'll be a grandparent!

The problem with that statement, Joe, is that you DIDN'T check. At best, you "heard" it from some wack-job, ignorant, racist, lying hick, or a republican. Pick your poison.

Joe: there is no proof of anything you just said. That was right wing propoganda! People seriously need to get their head out of their ass and realize that just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it true!! And that goes for both sides. I.E. the email that said Palin banned books...not true either!

So. # 1- 119 (plus)

Matt D. is the shiznit, but not for this reason. I loved him in the movie, "The Talented Mr. Ripley." Oh, and he's hot too.

Alaska ranks 47th in population, which is the primary factor in governance (governing a lot of snow and ice isn't particularly impressive).

And yeah, Palin "cleaned up corruption" - the single greatest pork-barrel senator has been Ted Stevens (R, Alaska), and Palin ran one of his 527 group (to support his reelection).

I love fucking Matt Damon!

Actually the only religious whack jobs I have seen lately were all gathered in one place.. 80,000 or so of them worshipping at the altar of the false messiah, Barack Hussein Obama.

"We hear and obey oh great Obama... tax us master! Take our money!"

No one's responding Knee....these morons have no questions-let alone answers.
Inside job...

Sarah Palin can suck it. I'd like to fist her with my Bigfoot arm.

Matt Damon talks out of his ass. Typical Hollywood idiot.

I bet Matt "I can see the fish swimming behind his eyes" Damon did not factor in the fact that the president is privy to the best medical care known. McCain is a survivor and a true American patriot. I think he will be around awhile. Too bad democrats....get used to it.

"But, please, save us McCain. Send all of our money to Iraq so they can get rich and we can become more indebted to China and be their bitch for another 4 years."

-"MATT DAMON IS A FUCKING IDIOT"
I don't know him in person so who knows, I'm leaning towards he might be...

-"What's scarier, Obama for president or Palin for VP."
Jesus Christ could be running for president and I would still be scared. I guess it's safe to say though, they are both pretty inexperienced and well I just plain don't like McCain... I'll just go ahead and put my own name on that ballot...

And let's face it, she was picked to attract the female vote... It's easy to tell it's working when girls freak out when she's criticized... "That's sexist" give me a break, it's Matt Damon's opinion... who here really cares?

-"The typical ignorant asshole who never picks up a paper to read the news" You're talking on a celebrity scandal website which already makes me doubt that you even know what the news are...

-"Democrats are obviously fucktarded if all they can muster is nobody from their crowd. Pretty damn pathetic."
HAHAHA that's just one of the stupidest comments I've ever seen... I love how Rep and Dem always act like little kids... What are you calling them next? Big stupid doo doo heads?? Seriously man, just because they have different views doesn't make them stupid but reacting like that kinda proves you are...

-"The victims of 9-11 don't want you using them and their honor as your excuse to encourage and support a fraudulent war or to support the extreme right-wing, anti-equality psycho-babble bullspit."
Very true. Whether Dem or Rep or any political party, using families pain and anguish is disgusting and the sad part is that assholes fall for it...

Oh well, we'll see how it all turns out Nov. 4... That is of course if the LHC doesn't kill us all before OMG SAVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!!!! hahahaha :P

I hate Obama too the only candidate I had any respect for was Clinton and you bunch of mindless sexist Yank twats fucked that up. FUCK another reason to HATE Americans.
Although gimme Obama or Palin and I will go with Obama.

I'm sorry I missed the part where they show Palin's boobs. One second while I re-watch the video.

UPDATE: Yep just as I thought... no boobs. Why in the fuck are we discussing politics on this site.

Gee, I'm gullible too! Sarah Palin is a hockey mom, fearless reformer...a BARRACUDA!

Just one thing - why hasn't she answered a SINGLE QUESTION in all the time since she was select as McCain's VP? Since the convention, every single appearance has consisted of her repeating lines from her convention speech, in the same order every time, with no questions from the audience or the press.

Fearless! Ready to lead!

Whatever you say...

Gr8 points all # 133-4
Inside job ?

Hahahahah. Funniest shit ever. It totally is like a bad Disney movie. Only non-animated and scary. Scarier than Scarface from the Lion King.

#139...I've noticed...Palin keeps her mouth shut and only speaks when the men in her party let her speak...just like a good little lady. Kinda makes me sick, actually.

Save the liberal vitriol for 4 years from now. The only stat that matters is this. No state has been as reliable a barometer for elections as Missouri has. Since 1904 the electorate of Missouri has accurrately predicted the winner of the presidential election - a streak no other state even comes close to. Who is polling ahead right now? McCain and Palin by 7 points. All over but the crying ladies and gents.

Matt damon should keep quiet so he doesn't lose his credibility like all the other big mouthed self-indulgent hollywood hotshots. what's with people like you shoving your opinions down our throats? thanks but no thanks.

Governor Palin has no experience? And Obama has...organized a community? I set up neighborhood wiffle ball games when I was a kid and our cul-de-sac had a garage sale last summer. Guess i'm a community organizer too! RYAN FOR PRESIDENT!!!

@120 - Alaska has a smaller population that San Francisco. Land mass doesn't count for shit if no ones living there.

Does that mean you think Gavin Newsom is qualified to run for office after 4 years of running a city that, in 2007, made $8.2 billion dollars in tourism alone, without even touching any oil?

Nah, I didn't think so, you dumb-fuck, backwards-thinking troll.

During her short political career to this point, Sarah Palin has been one of the most successful pork-barrel politicians in the country, in terms of the total amount of ear-marked funds per capita. That's not a partisan accusation, it's a statement of fact.

#139 - and, she didn't write the convention speech.

But, nice boobs!

All Sarah Palin supporters are cunts and fags.

Also this goes out to #92 aka SmartandCute2Boot:

I will make this simple, which your not likely to fathom, or then again maybe you will appreciate.

1.) I can tell you like to overcompensate for your feelings of inadequacy by making lame attempts of impressing others, on a celeb blog mind you with tiring data you copied and pasted. Honey people on celeb blogs are statstically less intelligent than the average consumer from a political blog. BTW, I am slumming. This is not my ususal hang out.

2.)Your name is ridiculous and smacks of desperation and arrogance, overall security (sound familiar). The name you chose is probably vastly untrue as you are neither as smart or as cute as you fancy yourself.

3.) For a concise and easy to interpret voting record check out http://knowbeforeyouvote.com/ . It. is concise and targets main issues (no, #92, it does not address the naming of post offices as that is not considered important). However, it is more user friednly than the Christmas list you posted and gives the source of the information.

4. You name should be:
A.) I don't have a life so I post a bunch of junk
B.) I post crap nobody can make sense of in the name of sounding smart
C.) Fun with copy and paste

All this talk about how unqualified Sarah Palin is, and Obama is even LESS qualified as her. I guess he'd make an even better president, huh? Ridiculous.

Speaking of retarded, all of these people who say she has more experience than Obama? That's RETARDED. Look at their careers. Looks at who has served the public long and had more experience on a national level. Look at who has had a fucking passport for more than a year. Look at the fact that she's lying her ass off about being a maverick and fighting lobbyists and pork-barrel spending. She has no business being second in line to run my country. Matt Damon can say what he wants...he can speak for me, since I don't have a tv crew waiting around to hear what I have to say.

I'm not a Mat Damon fan, but he's dead on. The right wing whackos must be deranged to think this PTA mom is ready to potentially lead this country. I love the fact that no one knew about her until 2 weeks ago. I'd like to see her in the Middle East or Afghanistan giving those Muslims her Hocky Mom mantra.

# 156 Cute.
Inside job ?

And what exactly does Matt Damon know about Barack Obama? What I know is although he and his wife have been a success in America, they are not proud of their country. I know he associates with racist Pastors - Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger. In fact, they are mentors. I know he had a chance to endorse a candidate that would have removed the dirty politicians in Cook County but he didn’t because they have contributed to his political campaign. I know he has benefited from the Chicago machine. I know he’s associated with Bill Ayers. I know Barack Obama got a sweet deal on his house the same day Tony Rezko paid full price for the empty lot next door. I know he assisted Tony Rezko get milions of dollars of deals from the government. I know Al-Mansour, an advisor to Saudi prince and a racist, helped him get on the Harvard Law Review. These aren’t just tangential relationships. Emil Jones has said that he created this US Senator- how else did Barack Obama take credit for the legistation during his last year in the State Senate of Illinois. His whole life he’s been running for office. In fact, he’s been running for office the last 59 of 112 months. That’s what I know about Obama - That’s SCARY to me.

Matt Damon another left wing retard that doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

Thank god a celebrity has come forward to tell me how to think. I was worried because I didn't know what to do. No Hollywood celeb was coming out to speak their mind on this matter.

I feel much better now, thank you Matt for telling me how you feel. Now I know what to think about this election!

Ah, the oh so scholared in politics actor doesn't think a little ole' woman can run the office.

So how well is it going to run when Obama gets murdered and we have another 70 year old man in office?

All this talk about how unqualified Sarah Palin is, and Obama is even LESS qualified than she is. I guess he'd make an even better president, huh? Ridiculous.

#156...1) Nice grammar there, buddy. 2) Nice condescending tone as well. Sorry you have to slum it with the rest of us lowlifes. As your moniker suggests, you really are "Lipstick on a Pig".

HA HA as opposed to a muslim porch Monkey in the white house!

Yikes ! Cliff - With these Yanks - it's hard to sort out the morons from the shills.
Cliff Notes : That's what makes life interesting Bink.
Binky : Oh.

@156: Does her name really matter or was it because it spells out everything you probably you feel when you look at in the mirror...
"BTW, I am slumming. This is not my ususal hang out." I'm sure it isn't, you must be hanging out with great minds right? Please enlighten us with all your great wisdom...
@92: Next time make sure the copypasta is not that long because it really turns off a person when you have to scroll 5 times to read a comment... I just looked at it, it was ridiculous...
@145-150: Hmmm... sorry I'm engaged already :P

I'd take a guy who went to Harvard School, worked at a law firm, worked in the Illinois State Senate for 8 years, and then a US Senator for another 3 + years, and has campaigned for the past 2 years to be President over some girl who went to 5 schools before graduating from some school in Idaho, was head of the PTA in her small town, Mayor of a poduck city in AK (population approx 8,000), and then governor of Alaska (for less than two years and state pop. is approc 700,000 people)...ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Let's talk about more important matters. I'm getting krunk!! Who's going to join me?!?!?!

Reading these posts made my I.Q. drop 10 points. Has anyone heard of cross-referencing facts or finding reputable sources?

One thought on the concerns of McCain's potential death in office: Harry S. Truman was V.P. for 3 months before becoming President and brought no legislative or executive experience to the table. He is now considered one of the top 10 presidents in U.S. history (1,2).

Note, I'm not supporting any party this election, though I generally support liberal policies. I do support intelligent comments though, even on fluff forums.

(2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_United_States_Presidents

#161...By the way, Barack's wife said that in her speech which was taken out of context and she has corrected herself to clear it up. If you didn't spend so much time bible thumping you might figure that out. By the way, did you know Palin was on a commission to secede Alaska from the Union? Did you know she thinks it's God's will to have a pipeline in AK? Did you know her pastor said Jews deserve what they get in the Middle East? You can spin it however you want, but stop letting your clergy molest you and get some fresh air.

Matt Damon for the Win.

@ minerva: Ingenious plan!

# 172 for president!
ok... yeah I'm drunk... Leaving now would be a good idea...

Assholes!

Palin is NOT running for president.
Its hilarious how liberals are comparing her (the VP candidate,) to to oBama the PC because oBama does not have the expeience to hold John MCcains coat!.

@175 (a.k.a Frank) Oh I'm definitely voting you for president now hahaha

Gr8 points all Bill Clinton.
Inside job ?

can we start calling Holly Madison of Girls Next Door fame

"H-Mad"

from now on?

please, can we? i think she might fuck me if she finds out i started her new killer nick.

Yes 'Frank' from 16th floor.. Def an inside job

You know Matt, Shut the FUCK UP. Who cares what you think? You are dumb fucking ACTOR. So shut the fuck up and just act. You are paid to entertain me and nothing else.

Any person who would make their voting choice on what an actor says should be banned from voting.

I think you should have to take an IQ test before you cast your vote. Stupid people should not be allowed to vote.

So SATAN - I knew you usually show up about now. Inside job ?

Fuck you asshole - Matt. Fucking liberal mouthed, uninformed, social retard. You continue to show your IQ and why no one cares about what you think - other than to tell what an ass you are.

Cheers # 181 - it's a jungle out there. x

Read about Palin's drug addict son and slutty daughter:

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65407?cid=RSS

The same people who don't know why they hate Palin are the same people that don't know why the love Barack. You friggin retarded idealogues. I don't like Palin either but I hope she and McCain win just to piss you libs off.

Matt Damon is right. We don't know Sarah Palin, and we are giving her one of the most important jobs in the world. Vice president of the United States is huge! She is a massive gamble. This is not Hollywood, this is real life. Wake Up People!!!

#186 -188 I'm still having a few problems with free fall collapse speed .
Comments ?

Why do people assume you're voting for Obama if you say anything against McCain???

I am a Ron Paul supporter and will vote for the Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr.
I also think McCain choosing this woman over more qualified candidates for VP such as Romney shows his poor judgement which we as a nation cannot afford after the last 8 years.

Smart&Cute2Boot #92

Yeah sure, your smart and cute alright. Your probably some Birkenstock, Subaru driving, Global Warming, Tofu eating, Clam Banging, Bio-Genetic misfire with a hard on for the facts in your twisted Liberal mindset.

Take a look at some hard facts about your boy Obama. Yeah I know..Its all Bull $hit right..Standard Liberal answer to anybody whose not in lock step with your Liberal socialist views.

1.) Selma Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well-educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.

Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM, according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama. Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro).
From and for more.... go to...

8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY, you were
registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book). February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine.

13.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.

15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting 'Present' is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I Misvoted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior
lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY, you didn't write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored d or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign-contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

# 190-191 - Welcome to the site.
No one reads the long ones. Inside job ?

When's America going to get mad Binky ?
Binky : Not sure Cliff - but the sooner the better.

@191: TL;DR...

FIRST!!!

Thank you Steve Ackerman!

Ya know what scares me...Actors who self importantly believe we care what they think.

Ya know what else scares me...Barack Oprahma.

Left-wingers have finally found someone who scares them more than George W. Bush. And she's just a hockey mom from Alaska! What a bunch of pussies. And they wonder why the country doesn't trust them to stand up to terrorists.

Good points all # 194-195.
Your country has become a joke and you're relevant reps.

Wow - it's hard to keep up with all the new shills.
Inside job ?

i'm fucking matt damon

#191 just to let you know that your vote for Barr will be absolutely meaningless. You remind me of those tree sitters in Berkeley who sat to protect a tree for 22 months, only to have it chopped down yesterday. But, it's the principle, right?

Obama's inexperience does not scare me, because he has shown a capacity to learn and grow. Sarah Palin scares me because her mind is firmly made up, even when faced with facts. She is Dubyah all over again. Please spare me another ultraChristian in the White House, please!

"Your country has become a joke and you're relevant reps."
Hahahaha...

Mighty Mike: you realize Damon went to Harvard, right? He's not exactly a moron, so while you can insult his views don't call him an idiot or an uneducated celebrity that never attended college.

192. Knee Ya Ha Ha
Hell I don't care if your read the entire comment. Your reply supports your Liberal pithy response to facts that are public information that can't be discredited. Typical Liberal response, "Must Be an Inside Job".

Oh Ok # 205 - Can you explain free fall collapse speed ?
(You seem like a real intellectual )

For the people who keep saying Palin has more experience than Obama so she should be president is retarded. Obama's 2002 speech on his opposition to the war in Iraq alone tells me that his foreign policy is spot on. Go read it (it takes 2 minutes). It's as if he was clairvoyant.

You people honestly think that a country run by rich, white old men is going to allow a black guy to be leader of the free world? Let's not kid ourselves. I don't care what the polls say, when people go to the booth in November, and those curtains are closed, people will look down and see the name of a black man and check the other box. I'm not racist, I'm just telling it like it is. And before people start lamenting about how they will vote for Obama, let's remember that the comments section on thesuperficial, contrary to popular belief, does not represent middle America.

St Louis Cardinal, are you one of the bible toting dipshits I mentioned earlier? I would love for you to pay for my flight out of this country if McCain is elected. I will then sit back and watch as your country goes down the shitter.

Say # 208 Andy...
Inside job ?

When I saw a post related to politics, I wondered what sort of Neanderthal-ery would be in the comments. I'm impressed by how many of you there are.
I have to say- if you are stupidenough to think that McCain/Palin would be an acceptable President/VP team, it's truly amazing that you've also figured out how to use a computer keyboard. And I'm trying to imagine what it must be like to be you- to think that an adolescent girl who has been raped or incested should have to carry the child to term (Sarah Palin would make sure this would happen by appointing anti-choice Supreme Court Justices) or to want to have a dangerous religious fanatic and a demonic lunatic (a continuation of the Bush/Cheney religious fanatic/demonic lunatic team) running the country so that we can continue our descent toward hell, dragging the rest of the world with us.

I have a question for everyone who posted here: how does it make you feel that you wasted your time doing so?

Damon has made a living acting. Your political views should stay private. You may not like the VP choice, but she does have more experience than our democratic choice.

Think about it! Would you make someone the CEO of your company who has only worked for your company 143 days? As a democrat, it's scary to think he would be learning how to run the country without any experience of running anything.
