Hi, Lindsey Graham! Nice of you to join us. I thought the most interesting thing was how many lines in the skit were basically, or actually, quotations from the hearing. |
Well, no one is suggesting he be put on the Supreme Court. Or put in charge of anything outside of his own household. Silly me—I hold supreme Cout justices to a higher standard for morality and truthfulness than actors. Maybe Kavanaugh should take up acting. He’s got “outraged” and “indignant” down pat—he just needs to work on “caring”, “respectful” and “dignified.” |
I wasn't asking if he should be put on the supreme court. This was a question about Damon alone. If you like his act without recognizing his hypocrisy, than what business do you have judging someone else? Why can't you just answer the question on Damon alone? |
I am not PP but I will answer the question. Matt Damon said something stupid about the #metoo movement. Then a week or 2 later he apologized and said he needed to sit back and listen for a while. Looks like he did and then come out in a very clever way to show which side he supports. If there were "big brains on Brett" he would have admitted to drinking too much and not being the best guy to girls short of sexual assault and it would have gone away, but his elitism and bratty behavior will be the only thing anybody will ever remember about him. But don't worry girl, the Roy Moore supporters will still confirm him. Maybe he can give Roy a job too. |
I don’t care if actors are hypocritical. I do care if judges are hypocritical. I wouldn’t judge Kavanaugh for being a bad actlr, or having bad hair, because that’s not his job. It’s not Matt damon’s job to be sincere and fair minded, so I don’t judge him on those criteria. |
That isn't the comparison. The comparison is Damon's skit to Kavenaugh to decide whether Kavenaugh is fit for the Supreme Court. We aren't comparing the two individuals, just the judgement of his actions in his testimony. If you think Damon is insincere and hypocritical, how can you use his assessment through acting to judge Kavenaugh? How can it have any merit? |
You are really reaching, or maybe you're just trying to argue, or maybe you don't understand people have different opinions than you do. Also it's Kavanaugh, for God's sake. |
Yes. Ouch! |
Omg. Spicy. Need to rewatch some of those. Silver lining of Trump fiasco = great material for SNL/late night. |
How am I reaching? Damon stated in an interview that is someone tried to spread a rumor about a sexual allegation before a movie came out, he'd spend millions and go scorched earth just to clear his name. That statement says that he'd be belligerent to his attackers. So it brings into question why the SNL skit is even relevant if the actor believes he'd behave the same way himself. |
About a week after that comment he apologized and said he needs to sit back and listen instead of running his mouth, which he appears to have been doing... it's possible that he learned something? I get that his apology doesn't fit your argument but it did happen. |
the SNL skit was a parody of Judge Kavanaugh‘s job interview for the most prestigious court in our country. Kavanaugh made a fool of himself and Damon played him to a t. |
| Who did Damom give this whole scorched Earth quote to? |
Yeah, I followed the whole controversy about his "me too" comments but did not hear anything like this. Quote and source?? |
Calm down. The Damon clip is posted upthread. |
