Matt Damon Gets it Right on Palin

I saw this on Daily Kos and was pleasantly surprised by how on the money Matt Damon is:

Thanks for this. He made very valid points and he made them sincerely. Here's hoping the electorate will be swayed by reason and common sense. Gulp.

This is also my biggest fear, "President Palin" and it's a real possibility. Vladimir Putin, the leaders of the "Axis of Evil", and other world leaders don't give a hoot about her "I'm your average hockey mom" spiel. True, true, true. Is Sarah going to be dragging her husband into meetings with these world leaders?

Jsteele, can you post the link to the youtube video. I would like to share it with friends. Thanks.

Jeff, don't use Hollywood celebrities to promote your cause. It backfires.

I like this video too but be aware that Damon asks about whether she banned books. We know that this is, strictly speaking, not true. She only inquired about the possibility of removing some books. Of course, Damon only asks about it, but I'm concerned that him asking the question will be enough for some people to just repeat it as if it did happen. Please caution people not to pass on that false story.

Knowing Matt Damon's opinions ALWAYS influences how I vote. Brad Pitt too. And Tom Cruise is helpful in considering religious issues. Yes, Hollywood is the real intellectual center of our country.

Get your point, but it is amazing that all these celebrities can give an unscripted interview, and a potential VP cannot.
