Matt Damon Definitely Unsupportive of McCain/Palin

Damon says it's "scary" to think that John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is so close to the oval office.

He shudders at the fact that she could take McCain's place as president one day. "I think the pick was made for political reasons, but in terms of governance, it was a disaster," says the very liberal Matt Damon, a Barack Obama supporter. He also mentioned that having the onetime governor of Alaska and 'hockey mom' running office as possible vice president is a preposterous choice, reported nydailynews.com.

"It's like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom from Alaska and she's the president and it's like she's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink and it's absurd," said Damon.

Maria Comella, spokeswoman for Palin, fired back with a comment about how Obama's candidacy is mainly "boosted by his celebrity buddies," according to nydailynews.com.

"It's not surprising that Barack Obama and his celebrity supporters continue to tear down Gov. Palin with little more than blatant name calling. It's clear they're threatened by a candidate who actually has a record of achieving reform and change, while Barack Obama just talks about it," said Comella.

Wow. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
