Hockey Mom Scares Super Spy

In Sunset Blvd, a screenwriter, at one point in the movie, says,"Audiences don't know somebody sits down and writes a picture; they think the actors make it up as they go along." Oh no, we the audience understand far too well that actors need to be told what to say. When they think on their own, too often they sound slightly less than intelligent. Politicians are like actors, they both need someone else to write their dialogue. With his criticism of Sarah Palin as the republican Vice Presidential nominee, Matt Damon joins the glorious list of actors who think that simply because someone puts a camera and microphone in front of them, that they suddenly have an elevated opinion.

Damon's political points include the fact that he thinks Palin was picked for political reasons. No Matt, say it's not true. Who ever thought that a presidential candidate would choose a running mate for political gain? Does this mean that Obama did not chose Biden to make him look stronger on foreign policy? I am glad Matt Damon is here to explain these things, because all this time I thought presidential candidates were picking running mates that they thought would help them lose the election.

The genius of Damon also wants to know if Sarah Palin believes dinosaurs existed 4,000 years ago, because she will have the nuclear codes if she becomes President. I am not exactly sure what the connection between believing in dinosaurs 4,000 years ago and starting a nuclear war is, but then again Damon had a camera in front of him when he said it, and as we all know a person's IQ goes up 20 points when that happens. I'am just guessing here, but maybe Damon is referring to the accusations that Palin does not support teaching evolution in public schools. He also wants to know if she banned books. Has anyone told Matt Damon that the internet exists? Check out this website Matt and you see that she is quoted as saying, "Teach both.” about evolution versus creation. The same site addresses the book banning issue. Palin once questioned some books at a particular library, but no books were ever banned.

Damon refers to the possibility of Sarah Palin becoming the President as a bad Disney movie. If Damon starred in that bad Disney movie he would at least not be responsible for any of the silly dialogue he says here. "I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. That's an important. I want to know that, I really do."

The entire point Damon is making is that he is scared of this woman, whom he knows little about. To use Bill Clinton's catch phrase, "I feel your pain.” I want to know how Obama can claim to be a "man of the people," when he takes his family on a very expensive vacation to a private beach in Hawaii? Maybe Obama is "the man of the rich people." I want to know how Obama's most notable accomplishment in the Illinois state legislature, of forming a weekly poker night with other lawmakers and lobbyists qualifies him to be President? Of course, those questions are obviously not as valid as Palin's thoughts on Dinosaurs. After all, no one put a microphone in front of me.
