Future historians probably won’t devote entire volumes to Hollywood actor Matt Damon for his part in the grotesque savaging of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Sadly, Damon will most likely be just a footnote, some jester in motley, participating in the American political circus.
It is that circus in which Kavanaugh, a man of exemplary public reputation, has had his honor stripped by the political left, accused without evidence or corroboration, as a high school sexual predator, a gang rapist, a drunken bully and boor.
If Damon is remembered at all in this, it will be for a bit part, his mimicry of Kavanaugh on “Saturday Night Live,” in a performance that didn’t wow the critics.
“I’m not backing down you sons of bitches, I don’t know the meaning of the word stop,” Damon said as Kavanaugh to the show’s “Senate Judiciary Committee.”
“To quote my hero, Clint Eastwood’s character in ‘Gran Torino,’” said Damon/Kavanaugh, “‘Get the hell off my lawn.’
There was great laughter and appreciation that Damon had joined the Kavanaugh scalp hunt. Yet underneath the performance was something oily and desperate, something extremely revealing about our culture, something modern.
Damon is widely known for two things:
His friendship with and defense of his patron, Hollywood sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, who unlike Kavanaugh has been credibly charged and disgraced.
Damon also is famous for his onscreen portrayal of an iconic movie archetype, the stoic superhero assassin Jason Bourne.
And there he was on “SNL,” dressed in a blue suit like Kavanaugh, nervously drinking water like Kavanaugh at the hearing, making a fool of the man.
It doesn’t tell us much about “SNL,” which calls itself a comedy show but now functions to reinforce liberal political sensibilities.
But it does tell us about

Go to your room Matthew.
Hollywood hypocrite; why don’t you go after your buddy buttman Affleck. At least there is credible evidence there.
Has Damon officially grown a vagina now? Or, does he just play on one TV?
“Kavanaugh, a man of exemplary public reputation, has had his honor stripped by the political left, accused without evidence or corroboration, as a high school sexual predator, a gang rapist, a drunken bully and boor.”
For communists, accusations against their political opponents is all the evidence needed to convict.
‘we won’t forget your sins’
Hollywood railing about sins...bwawawawawawawawawawawawa!
Demon has been on my permanent “sht list” forever.
SNL humour has long past it’s “Best Served’ date.
Stars like Damon have ruined the illusion of the character they are playing.
All I see is a political activist who wants my money to advance their agenda against me.
They may do as they like but without my dollar.

This is in the Chicago Tribune??? My head is spinning.
Remember when Dan Akroyd’s tv anchor would turn to his female coanchor and say: “Jane, you ignorant slut.” That’s Saturday Night Live back in the day
It's funny...probably on youtube.
The sheeple, whether Dim or not, should all tell their own favorite celebrities of stage & screem to stick to their day jobs and leave the politics to the politicians. Thanfully, for the most part Conservative sheeple don’t need to say much to their celebrities, because their celebrities usually keep their politics to themselves.
Even Dana Carvey’s George Bush imitation was somewhat complementary to him.
I get the feeling that Damon had already practiced his shrill mockery of Kavanaugh well before he thought of airing it on SNL. The left is full of fevered rage because they’re losing power over society.
"Since its original landmark publication in 1980, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools–with its emphasis on great men in high places–to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. In this recording you’ll hear from Zinn reading from his introduction to the book, and you’ll hear Matt Damon, an American actor and Academy Award-winning screenwriter for his work on Good Will Hunting, read passages that span the Summer of 1966, the 1967 Urban Riots in Newark and Detroit, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, to name a few highlights."
What an imbecile. It is not a sin to support a Trump and his nominee for the Supreme Court.
