Matt Damon loses a Fan

Ah, Matt Damon- I used to just love ya, but unfortunately, you have just let me down. Oh, it was all okay that you aren't a republican, let alone a conservative. That's okay. I respect that and agree that a two party system is essential to all our freedom. But then, you just had to say this:

“I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that’s a really scary thing… I don’t know anything about her and in eight weeks, I don’t think I’m going to know anything about her. I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town and she’s the governor for Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand. I think the pick was made for political purposes… Do the actuary tables and there’s a one out of three chance, if not more, that [John] McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it’ll be President Palin… It’s like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom, you know, ‘oh, I’m just a hockey mom’… and she’s facing down Vladimir Putin (of Russia)… It’s totally absurd… it’s a really terrifying possibility.”

You know nothing about Sarah Palin, and your remarks are ridiculous. Actuarial tables are done for insurance and settlements, and you probably don't have enough brains to even understand how those are arrived at. That is one of the hardest jobs in the world to get. Lots of tests and education and training. You shouldn't pretend you ARE good Will Hunting. You aren't. You are an ACTOR. Now, no longer one of my favorites. It may shock you that Sarah Palin is NOT just a hockey mom, she is a REAL mom. You know, like the woman you married -who surely must let you dominate her and put her down because she isn't even a hockey mom, is she? You must not think she can do anything either. Palin has been a mayor, a governor and now is running for VP- and frankly, could run for President because she has more experience than Obama running things. But those things aside, what is showing is NOT your political leaning. What is showing is your pure, blind hatred of Republicans and your pure, blind hatred of women. Good luck to your wife on that one. I am saddened that you are such a misogynist. You cannot give credit to a woman who is more of a man in many ways than YOU are! Is that really the issue here? She could actually FEED her family without a grocery store. You sit in your little egotistical world believing that just being an actor gives you credibility as not just an actuarial table quoter, but also as a pundit. Well, no. You need to realize that remarks like yours, Mr Damon, make women FURIOUS. Why isn't Damon more afraid that Obama is running FOR President? He is the least qualified candidate to have ever run for President- ever, in the history of our nation. But Damon obviously hasn't done his homework. Since the top 1% of our country pays 40% of the taxes right now, when Obama increases Damon's taxes, I hope he enjoys it. Damon should realize that his fame can be fleeting. Attacking Palin is fine if it is done with fairness- but what Damon said is an outright lie. When you are a celebrity and you open your mouth to call someone's supporters stupid, those people (usually close to 50% of the population of the US) aren't going to be able to love you any more. Or might wait to see your movies for free on cable. It may not break your heart to hear this Matt Damon, but I no longer care what happens to your career. All you had to do was keep your opinions to yourself.
