Didn't he used to be famous?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Sounds like more of the continued attacks on orthodox Christianity. I will take Huckabee anytime of the likes of Affleck duck.

[lonestar]

Somebody tell this idiot that he is an idiot.

I AM a Neanderthal. Seriously. Neanderthals are modern humans. And I've seen the illustrations of what they were supposed to look like. For some reason, people imagine the GEICO caveman, who looks much more like Australian Aboriginees with a heavy brow. In reality, the Neanderthals were intelligent Europeans with red hair, freckles, pale skin. OK, this kid's a little on the ugly side and I kept my hair better (and I think this picture is supposed to be of a girl), but there was a serious resemblance between she and I. And I have ancestors from where she's from not very far back at all:

[Red Badger]

That smug look on his mug says it all........

[dangus]

Oh, yeah... And I would never buy GEICO...

ASIDE: Someone tell Ben to lay off the self-deprecating, aw-shucks routine. Repeatedly during the interview he downplayed the worth of his opinions, saying, for example that he was speaking "from my point of view, not an expert but just a kind of everyday fellow." If Affleck doesn't feel he has worthwhile opinions to offer, why accept an invitation to offer them?

Men are the new women!

[domenad]

Hee hee! That little fellow is going straight into my repertoire.

[SF Republican]

millions of his fans - talk about slow witted

[reagan_fanatic]

I wonder what Affleck’s FR screen name is. After all, this isn’t much different than what some of the pro-evos have called Creationists on this board over the years.

[kjo]

Why would anyone care what some singer thinks?

[LIConFem]

Waste of time. An idiot wouldn’t understand the concept to begin with.

Birth Name Benjamin Geza Affleck-Boldt

Benjamin Geza Affleck was born on August 15, 1972 in Berkeley, California…(explains a lot)

At 8 years old Ben was given his first steady acting job on the PBS mini-series…(where Barney was a bigger star).

Dropped out of the University of Vermont after 1 semester.

Dropped out of Occidental College after 1 year, where he had studied Middle Eastern studies.

Bush has an MBA from Harvard.

Charlie Sheen drove him to Promises Rehabilitation Center in August, 2001

In 1999, he was nominated for the Razzie Award, Worst Screen Couple in the movie _Armageddon (1998)_ with actress Liv Tyler. In 2004, he was again nominated for, and subsequently "won", the Worst Screen Couple Award with co-star Jennifer Lopez in the movie Gigli (2003). One year later (2005), he was nominated, once again, for Worst Screen Couple, this time with both of the actresses (Jennifer Lopez or Liv Tyler) in the film Jersey Girl (2004).

Speaks French...(actually, Ben can surrender in five languages).

Has a fear of flying.

Personal Quotes

"I feel like fame is wasted on me." “Everyone's entitled to express their political beliefs.” “God help me if I ever do another movie with an explosion in it. If you see me in a movie where stuff is exploding you'll know I've lost all my money.”

“I've finally learnt how to say: 'No comment'.”

“I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity.”

[Non-Sequitur]

Ben should be so lucky, the Caveman has a series on ABC in the works. He doesn't.

Cavemen? Yet another attack by the Hollywood elite on the faith-based beliefs of religious Americans.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

No we don’t, Ben.....one day he will believe.

Affleck and his “best friend” Damon always seem to remind me of the juvenile retort “if I wanted to listen an a$$hole, I’d fart” every time they chime in with their illogical, irrelevant and ill-informed commentary.

[Badeye]

So, in addition to be a poor actor, he’s also and idiot and a bigot?

Tells me his wife is even dumber than she appears in interviews.

[Princip. Conservative]

Ben Affleck is an intellectually challenged individual. Apparently, he has a serious problem with bad breath and perhaps this outburst was related to that?

It says very little for Jennifer Garner, the Texan-born West Virginia native, that she married a chump like this.

[Centurion2000]

I guess he’s a director because he washed up as an actor.
