Celebrity Political Appeals [Edit]

Not everyone is happy and excited about Sarah Palin. Surely not Hollywood movie star Matt Damon, who has told the Associated Press that the possibility of a President Palin is “like a really bad Disney movie.”

“I think there is a really good chance that Sarah Palin could become president. And I think that’s a really scary thing because I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in eight weeks I’m going to know anything about her,” Matt Damon explained. “I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town. And she’s governor of Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand… I think the pick was made for political purposes but in terms of governance it’s a disaster.”

Matt Damon goes on sarcastically about Sarah Palin, “The hockey mom, you know, ‘oh, I’m just a hockey mom’… and she’s facing down President Putin (of Russia)… It’s totally absurd… it’s a really terrifying possibility.”
