"It's like a really bad Disney movie." - Dave Winer

what a sexist! Not my thoughts but I'm sure the right will be on him saying that. Throw logic out the window! - Jim Goldstein

Wow! Much more respect for Damon now. - Brandon Titus

I said this on the other person's thread who posted it: That Sarah definitely won't be f*cking Matt Damon. - Trish R

Where is he? His mom's? - anna awesomesauce

priceless, and he is absolutely right. - Bastian

Smart Kid! - fac287

Aaaah yes Hollywood stars opinion is how I make my decisions...... - Jim Stewart

@melmcbride oh you're right, probably is. I like the idea that he's filming this from home :) - anna awesomesauce

@Trish: ... but maybe Todd Palin is f*cking Ben Affleck. - Rodfather

+1 Rodfather - Chris W

who gives a Sh*t about about any celebs opinion? - clarke thomas

Bullshit. Disney doesn't make bad movies, let alone *really* bad movies. - John Rubier via twhirl

@clarke We, the public, do. Tabloid journalism sells, so the media gives it to us. And I'm not sure it is tabloid, besides. We give our opinion all the time around here; what is the difference betwixt them besides the media platforms? - Michael W. May

Why are people reading this as if Matt Damon is trying to run for office? He is stating his opinion. It's freaking hilarious whether you agree or not. Just f*cking laugh....geez - ♫ Rahsheen™

@Jim @clarke Don't discount someone's thoughts because they happen to be a celebrity. Damon is no slouch, he attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin School in Cambridge, graduating in 1988. He attended Harvard University the same year but left to pursue acting. I'm not saying to sit on the edge of your seat to hear what celebrities say, but we all have a chance to have a voice in the debate whether we are celebrities or not. - tagami

Matt Damon is much smarter than most politicians -- it's not even a contest. - Sean McBride

@mel @michael: the last actor I believe we put in the office was Reagan? and well the press was different then. If these actors/actresses did what they said 1/4 of Hollywood wouldn't be living in the US anymore. The smart ones, don't publicly express their opinion. Anyone who routinely is in the press is a celebrity, no matter if it's a tabloid or not. Scoble is a tech celebrity; would you vote for whomever Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Robert Scoble or Larry Ellison publicly recommended? - clarke thomas

@clarke I am saying I wouldn't discount their opinion out of hand. - Michael W. May

@michael I'd agree on that; but I believe too many say 'well X said they were stupid' so I'm not voting for them. - clarke thomas

@mel: I don't care what he's saying; I care that people consider his opinion more then others' because he's a celeb (& people think b/c of that he's got pull) [oh and I don't give 2 sh*ts about a VP anyhow; they're there to run the House and be the International spokesperson] - clarke thomas

Clarke, do you just comment to entertain yourself, or are we expected to gain any intelligent perspective from your comments? Just curious. - JC unwired

mel, just because I find what he said hilarious, does not mean I can't also believe what he is saying. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Clarke -- I hold Matt Damon's opinions in much higher regard than Sarah Palin's because he is clearly more intelligent than Palin and makes much more sense. Anyone who is a creationist has by definition removed himself or herself from the world of intelligent discourse. (Besides, see Good Will Hunting -- clearly the man is a genius of the highest order. :)) - Sean McBride

@Jody well I have had 1/2 a bottle of Malbec; but anyhow my comments are not based on what Damon said. Sadly from what I read, hear on the streets, or in the office - people do take to heart what celebs say - as if they(celebs) have any better idea then any other US citizen. Just because they have $$$ or had dinner with a candidate doesn't mean they know much. - clarke thomas

One should also add that Matt Damon is an honest, good and decent human being -- for real. It comes through in his work. He's probably too good to be in politics. - Sean McBride

the man makes some good points...how you like them apples - Ryan

Not to be a killjoy - I'm an Obama supporter and all, but, being a critical citizen who pledges allegiance to neither party, i have to point out Matt Damon is just repeating common media hype about Sarah Palin. Do I want to see Sarah Palin in office? God, no. But do I think the criticism being offered about her (as well as every other candidate, past, present and future, McCain and Obama included) is superficial at best and meant to create a knee-jerk reaction? Definitely. - Adam Bohannon

@clarke why can't a celebrity have an opinion? He's an artist, he should have an opinion...and speak it. I value it as much as I do yours. We're talking about it because it's interesting. - Ryan

MATT DAMON!!! MATT DAMON!!! - Tad, Fool

you know with sarah s. breaking up with Jimmy, I'm thinking her video was real. Deep thought of day. - anna awesomesauce
