Affleck: Bush 'Can Be Hung' for Leakgate

Actor Ben Affleck has made it very clear where his sympathies lie in the Leakgate affair -- and it isn't with the White House.

Appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Affleck charged that President Bush "probably also leaked” CIA agent Valerie Plame's name and so "if he did, you can be hung for that! That's treason!” He continued: "You could be killed. That's not a joking around Tom DeLay 'I'll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.' That's like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that.”

Affleck also called DeLay a "criminal."

[wagglebee]

What a moron!

[onyx]

What an asshat.

[mbx1231]

One word for you .... "Gigli".

'nuff said.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Ben should be hung for Gigli and Pearl Harbor.

[Echo Talon]

stooge!

[Always Right]

Affleck is certainly lucky that being a buffoon is not punishable by death.

[ILS21R]

What a jerk.

[chpmass]

Affleck is just another actor obsessed with himself and living in a bubble world in Hollywood. I guess growing up in Cambridge has that effect on the brain. I never understand how someone can blame Bush for everything and give Clinton a free pass. Idiot.

[jazusamo]

Affleck better stick to acting, his ignorance is showing.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Didn't he do a movie called "gili" or something to that effect ?

Now thats a hanging offense

[COEXERJ145]

Hey Ben, shut up and act.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Ben should be hung for Gigli

**COFFEE SPEW!**

[NewLand]

Which orafice did these sounds eminate from?

[JennysCool]

It's absolutely unreal how important these Kool Aid dinkers think Valerie Plame was!

[SeaBiscuit]

He must have swallowed some lead as a baby.

[JennysCool]

err, drinkers. But I guess "dinkers" works, too.

[Anti-Bubba182]

The latest thing he is doing according to IMDB is "Clerks II"
with Jay and "Silent Bob".

[jonsie]

Who cares about Affleck, he showed his ignorance of the facts. What was the most telling in that show was the use by Biden of "G'damn when talking about Christianity by a President. I never watch the program but was out of town and caught it on cable and my husband and I were stunned, the lies he told.

[mombonn]

I wouldn't recognize him if he sat down next to me, so I certainly don't care about his opinion.

[BerniesFriend]

What a moron!

No no..if I may..in the words of Bugs Bunny..what a moroon..

[darkwing104]

He's an actor. Without a script or direction actors become complete idiots...Affleck and Belzer are good examples.

[Perdogg]

Ben who?

[Imgr8t]

He doesn't have the mental capacity for politics... or acting.

[trubluolyguy]

Whereas Affleck couldn't be hung without major reconstructive surgery.

[DB]

I don't think there's a way to tell.

[Leo Farnsworth]

Hanged is the word, Ben. Hanged.

Is hanged, was hanged, will be hanged. If a man, even our president, is HUNG - you should not speak about it on television except on some porn channel. This wonderfully informed Hollywood 'intellectual' has clearly shown his lack of same.

In essence, Ben Affected had said that if the President leaked, we should give him some Viagra.

[Txsleuth]

Don't forget this guy actually traveled with Kerry during the campaign....just think if Kerry had won, Affleck might have gotten a Cabinet position...LOL /sarc

[RegulatorCountry]

You can't enlarge what isn't there.

[Chode]

this guy is sounds stooopid enough to screw that big-assed ho je-lo...

[onyx]

I can't place him, but please do not post a pic of him.
I tend to recall he has a horse face.

[Txsleuth]

Do tell....Biden used the "G" - damn word??? Was he talking about Delay? I have seen articles about how Delay is considered way to "Christian" for the left...

Like you...I am more interested in what Biden the Buffoon said..

[Imgr8t]

[Lunatic Fringe]

Ben, you're an idiot.

First of all, revealing classified information may be a felony, but it is not treason.

Second, you've been caught up in this non-story... I've said it before, I'll say it again: Plame was not a covert agent.

Third, you're an idiot.

[dfwgator]

Fourth - Pearl Harbor sucked.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Didn't he do a movie called "gili" or something to that effect ? Now thats a hanging offense

I will probably differ from most here, but I actually enjoyed Jeely. It was worth sitting through most of the movie till AlPac arrived. The most unforgetable line from that movie(to that effect) --

[Al Pacino] "Do you know how you truly intimidate sombody..? Not by pointing a gun at him..you are most intimidating ..when you don't give a s*** ! "

Now that line made my day.

[Lancey Howard]

HAR!!!
Ben Affleck - - "How much money do you want the movie to lose?"

[jazusamo]

Secretary of State, probably done a better job than Albright.

[kinoxi]

taco taco, burrito burrito...

Great Moments in Political Speech:

"Don't believe any false rumors unless you hear them from me."--Victor Schiro, late mayor of New Orleans

"Gentlemen, get the thing straight once and for all...the policeman isn't there to create disorder, the policeman is there to preserve disorder."--Richard J. Daley, late mayor of Chicago

"Senator, you have to enervate the base."--Ben Affleck

[Popman]

Affleck is certainly lucky that being a buffoon is not punishable by death.

Shoot, 90 % of Hollywood would be swinging from the gallows.

[wildwood]

you can be hung for that!

actually it's HANGED.

hung is something else, and i believe bush has already been verified in that area.

[Lancey Howard]

Did Affleck say whether Jimmy Carter could be hung for revealing Stealth technology?
LMAO!!! Affleck is an extraordinary simpleton in a Hollywood chock full of simpletons.

[Ichneumon]

Hanged is the word, Ben. Hanged. Is hanged, was hanged, will be hanged. If a man, even our president, is HUNG - you should not speak about it on television except on some porn channel.

From "Blazing Saddles":

[Bart returns unexpectedly after being sentenced to death]
Charlie: "They said you was hung!"
Bart: "And they was right!"

[dr_who_2]

What does Brian Boitano think?

[Tall_Texan]

I sometimes wonder if these Hollywood types are REALLY this dense or are they under some sort of pressure to sound extreme in order to get cast in the hippest movies. You'd have to think some of these people must have their lines spoonfed one word at a time if they had that sort of IQ on the movie set.

[Doctor Raoul]

"Gigli" was a crime against humanity. I want to see Ben swing at the end of a rope for that.....and so would Roger Ebert if he were still alive.

[WalterSkinner]

Ben Affleck

..ah yes, that famous political scientist...

[hope]

Selective outrage on the left once again...

[jonsie]

Biden was playing to the audience and knew he could say it for them, Bill Sammon was outnumbered 4:1. They made fun of President Bush and Biden was eaten it up. I didn't have a problem with that until he used the term I spoke of to criticize republicans who use their religion to promote politics.
