Matt Damon: Palin's No Wall-E

16. I agree with the majority of the posters. I don't know when this video was taken, but hopefully he's had a change of heart since then. He seems a but arrogant to me in his thinking and a tad sexist. That poster was right when they said he got caught up in all the hoopla. I believe it's almost for the sake of their careers that they have to endorse the liberal candidate or it could affect their work. He will have no idea about her because that's what he chooses. That's not her fault. And why is his faith so strong in Obama? Mine isn't.

18. BINGO! You're exactly right, Matt!

America is just waking up to what Palin is and isn't. The nostalgia of her being female and the only remotely alive person on the Republican ticket will wear off in a week or two and after the journalists have had time to reveal much more of what she is.

Every single person who is supporting Palin so far is a moron who knows nothing about what goes on in Washington, knows nothing about Palin, is highly irresponsible to the democratic process, doesn't take responsibilities or issues seriously and is basically a loser and a superfluous fool.

Many of the wise will be waiting for information. Those who've been on this know Palin is a very poor selection for a VP candidate.

20. thank you Matt! you are so SPOT ON. And what is even SCARIER about the whole thing is these comments from people so ignorant ...these are the people that will be voting in November and pretty much condemning this Country. So thanks everyone. you are why so much of the world hates America. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Oh and all the people who are all "durrr actors don't know anything about politics" oh and you do? so people with desk jobs or whatever these people do automatically know more? GO MATT

21. Anyone who thinks that dinosaurs were around 4000 years ago needs to be corrected. The people who told them that need to be burried alive in deep mud so that someday future generations can see the fossils of a "TWIT".

22. The reason why everyone is in love with Palin without knowing much about her outside of her 5 kids and husband is that Americans just arent that smart.

23. Wow - comment #1 - YOU are a racist. My "white" ancestors would be appalled at your generalizations. By the way, the white "rednecks", the white "fat" housewives, etc. are the primary tax payers in this country and will have a say come November as to who they want as President of this great nation. I doubt they will elect a guy who has very little experience and some very dubious friends. We don't know alot about Sarah Palin - but we do know that Obama attended a church that spews hatred and disgust of whites. We know that Sarah Palin has political experience but little foreign policy experience - but what exactly is Obama's foreign policy record? Oh yeah, he went to Europe this summer and spoke to the masses about his wish to be president! Shouldn't he be speaking to Americans about that? Yeah, us white Americans, fat white housewives, rednecks etc. O'Reilly had Obama on last night and they guy could not answer any questions about his past friendships with very controversial people - why not? If those are your friends then why not endorse your friends like Reverend Wright? Scary, dubious, double talker.......................................just like Matt Damon and the Hollywood Left!

24. Nobody cares what celebs think...they would be blackballed from the biz if they didn't meekly follow all the other celebs. At the very least, Palin is AMERICAN...unlike your anti American muslim boy Obama. In some ways, being a mayor of a small town is harder than being president. Do some research before spouting off, idiot.


And as for you, #1...REDNECKS as you so eloquently put it...(and some of us even know how to spell, unlike you) provide the food you eat, the cars you drive. Middle America is the power of the USA, not New York or California. What exactly do you people contribute to America beside crappy movies?

25. katinak says: "I think Matt doesn't understand that Sara Palin has more security clearance than Biden and Obama have together."
**are you kidding?!?! she got a passport last year for the first time, visited 3 countries, one of which was a layover (ireland) and never even left the plane.
"And for him to mention Russia is quite funny. He must not realize she probably has more information on Russia than all the people up for election."
** are you serious?!?! what information? you mean about fishing rights? you obviously buy into the crap that since alaska is next to a fingertip of russia, palin is obviously an expert on foreign affairs. i guess everyone that lives next to canada or mexico are foreign affairs experts, too.
"Does he not realize she is in charge of the Alaska National Gaurd including the Kodiak Missle Launch Pad. which is w/in miles of Russia territory!!!! "
**sorry, another delusional rant. in times of nat'l crisis, the feds take over the guard, not the governors. and it's been proven that she practically has no day to day experience with running the guard-someone else runs it for her. and the thought that she is in charge of a missile lauch pad? i'm still laughing over that one.

"BAD MATT, I am dissapointed he doesn't know more, yet is willing to speak about her publically. Get the facts dumby." **katinak...YOU need to get the facts, dummy. palin is one scary bitch. and as sleazy as they come. it's amazing she and mcshame keep getting away with all the lies they spew. as mayor, she got a lobbyist and garnered $27 million for a town of approx. 6,000 people. she left wasiila over $20 million in debt. she was botching the job so badly she faced a recall and the state gop had to step in, make her hire a city adminstrator to do her job for her. as governor, she got more lobbyists and got over $700 million in earmarks, more than any other state in the union...you know, the one she and her hubby wanted to secede from (whatever happened to country first?). the bridge to nowhere got canned, but she kept the money anyway (over $230 million) and used part of it to build that stupid road going to the bridge that won't be built. there's your reformer and fiscal conservative for ya.

26. Ok Billie. Just stay in middle America where you belong. Live your entire life there and never branch out.

27. Ok, this actor now just lost all credibility! Wow, talk about sitting in the wrong chair and "acting" like he is smart and knowledgeable on domestic and world affairs; he made a fool out of himself. He is an empty suit actor who should stick to what he does as by doing that he lives in a made up, fantasy world himself which appears to suit him just fine. Was he trying to act really disturbed by the VP choice in this interview? Dear God, why would he think his voice mattered and he is so far off in left field I cannot even fathom what he was thinking trying to make an informed statement. Thing is, I am a fan of some of his movies but wow, he must be drinking the Hollywood Kool Aid because it appears he may think he has actual intelligence and a say in this election. Palin trumps Obama in all respects so that makes what Damon is trying to do that much more absurd. Has he not looked into Obama's credentials, or lack thereof; Obama has nothing but a in the moment rant about change. Educate yourself before you speak because each time you do you assit, like the other journalists and media, in putting Obama more and more behind in this race. McCain-Palin will win this election, which is the right choice when you look at credentials and character, so it's probably best to auditioning for movies my friend.

28. Bin Laden is correct, a good portion of Americans are not smart at all. The Republican ticket is counting on a campaign FOR the stupid and that the stupid can be herded like cattle into the voting booth convinced that the Republican decoys McCain and Palin are leadership. It's the fall of the Roman Empire sequel. The armies are stretched out all over the place, there's no cohesion or validity to the governance and instead of the barbarian hordes, we've got the modern equivalent in corporate raiders who are privatizing government and the military for their own purposes; fast profits on a steady conveyor belt. That's why they like idiotic puppets in top political seats; so they can be controlled and fooled. McCain and Palin fit the description perfectly.

However, thanks to journalism and the military turning on the Bush admin, the Republicans are in for some very nasty surprises before election day. Hold on to your hats!

29. Right on Matt!!!! This WHOLE political process has been insane. I am not a sexist and I dont think Matt is. I am sure if you asked him his opinion on Hillery it would be a whole new ball game. Experience is experience she has some ( palin), but let's face it is not enough to be president. Sad thing is the next President will be 4 years of the same mess.....

30. Lisa you are the dummy, what katinak said is true LOOK IT UP!
