Here’s Matt “the asshat” Damon on Sarah Palin.
“I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that’s a really scary thing… 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 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 President Putin… It’s totally absurd… it’s a really terrifying possibility.”
And we have this from Politico.com.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Since John McCain announced Friday that first-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be his running mate, Democrats have been quick to point out that the 44-year-old governor could soon be just “a heartbeat away from the presidency.†The veiled reference to McCain’s advanced age is hard to miss.
It’s a macabre point to raise on the night when Palin will speak to the convention here — but a look at the actuarial tables insurance companies use to evaluate customers shows that it’s not an irrelevant one. According to these statistics, there is a roughly 1 in 3 chance that a 72-year-old man will not reach the age of 80, which is how old McCain would be at the end of a second presidential term.
And the story goes on to point out this:
“Actuarial models are good for estimating the average future lifetime of, say, 100,000 50-year-olds, or how many out of 100,000 50-year-olds will survive to 60, but are lousy at estimating about one particular 50-year-old,†explained Jim Daniel, a professor of actuarial studies at the University of Texas.
The odds, then, that McCain will reach the age of 76 or 80 may be considerably higher than in the population at large.
The bottom line is fairly simple, we’re living longer, and McCain’s age is a non-issue and Matt Damon is an asshole.
Live long and prosper – AWB

First of all what is Matt? An actor which moves him way of the ladder of people who know anything about anything outside of putting on makeup prior to a photo shoot.
If that scares Matt then he should think about Obama… Not supervised more then a couple of people. In the senate he has an office manager that runs his entire operation. He has never prepared a budget, he has never lived within the means of a budget. and he has never done a thing.
I wonder if has figured out why we have so many “weekend warriors” in Iraq? That had Clinton gutted our standing miltary by over 300,000 men, planes, and ships a good chance we would not have had to deploy one “weekend warrior!”
Before this war started Bush attempted to start to rebuild the armed forces but the Democrats and few GOPs stripped it out of the budget.
For Clinton’s haydays and fun times we are paying a dear price. Payback is hell people. Payme then (the 90s) or pay me now (2000s). Had he cut only 125,000 and not spent so much on worthless social programs he would have had still have had a balanced budget then and not be in hole we are now.
Matt Damon is simply an insecure male. Look at what he goes home to as proof: he’s married to an uneducated, unemployed woman who stays home and gets pregnant. That’s how Damon likes women: non-threatening and dependent on his money to support them. Barefoot and pregnant is another term for held captive.
Matt Damon your short penis is showing.
