Actor Matt Damon is giving two thumbs-down to the prospect of a Palin Presidency.
Damon said it's "scary" to think of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin being a heartbeat away from the Oval Office as John McCain's running mate.
"I think the pick was made for political reasons, but in terms of governance, it was a disaster," Damon, a Barack Obama supporter and heavy contributor to liberal groups.
"I think there's a really good chance that Sarah Palin could be president, and I think that's the really scary thing," Damon, the Academy Award-winning star of "Good Will Hunting" and "The Departed," told AP Television.
Having Palin, the onetime mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and self-proclaimed "hockey mom" as McCain's right-hand woman is preposterous, Damon said.
"It's like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom from Alaska and she's the president and it's like she's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink and it's absurd," he said.
"It's totally absurd, and I don't know why more people aren't talking about how absurd it is."
Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella quickly struck back, sounding the McCain campaign's familiar theme of attacking Obama as little more than a celebrity whose candidacy is boosted by his Hollywood buddies.
"It's not surprising that Barack Obama and his celebrity supporters continue to tear down Gov. Palin with little more than blatant name calling," Comella said.
"It's clear they're threatened by a candidate who actually has a record of achieving reform and change, while Barack Obama just talks about it," she said.
How many bad movies has this character been in? Who really cares what a putz like this thinks about politics.

The bootom line is that the Obama supporters are scared stiff of the bitter Hilary supporters.

Typical Hollywood putz.

Wow! Borne is scared of a little hocker mom!? Next blockbuster: "Borne's hockey puck" where Matt Damon saves the world by fighting an evil hockey mom!
Seriously though, I detest when a man is using the word Scary as a part of his vocabulary - I can't stand it!

He did his best acting in Team America, even though he was just a puppet. No, really, he was a puppet.
