Matt Damon's Harsh words on Sarah Palin

In an all new interview, Matt Damon says Sarah Palin in the White House is a "terrifying possibility!" "I don't understand why more people aren't talking about how absurd it is," Damon says.

Damon tells The Associated Press that if Senator John McCain doesn't survive his first term in the White House, there will be a President Palin. "It's like a really bad Disney movie," Matt says about the possibility of Palin as Commander in Chief, "The hockey mom, you know, 'Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska'…and she's facing down President Putin [of Russia]."

Matt goes on, "I think that pick [Sarah Palin] was for political purposes. But in terms of governance it's a disaster."

  • If Sarah Palin was a pro-choice liberal woman nominated for the veep spot on Obama's ticket, liberals would think she was the greatest thing since the invention of the printing press. But because she is a proud conservative, well that's another...

  • She is perfect! Need someone fresh. Democrats have a Senator with many many years experience and can't even get the facts correct, and a guy running for the Presicency that has
    only been a Senator for about 2years. I am so dissappointed in the...

  • I COMPLETELY agree with Matt Damon. I find it offensive that McCain would pick someone with as little experience as Sarah Palin, rather than finding someone with strenghts in areas where he has weaknesses. That would have been the honorable thing to...

  • I find it odd that everyone is repeating the Bad Disney Movie part - but no one wishes to repeat the part about giving nuclear missile codes to a woman who might believe dinosaurs were around 4000 years ago. Many people fear that Palin is a...

  • And what sort of experience does Obama have? He's a first term senator with zero executive experience who has never served in the military. He's flip-flopped on just about every issue, misrepresented facts, and has promised things there's no way he...

  • But McCain isn't qualified either! Either of the two will implement a shoot first ask questions later policy. We have all seen how good that does.
