I saw it, O'Reilly asked him if he knew some specific facts that were way off base in the Moore movie and he actually admited he hadn't heard the other side, sounded interested in perhaps learning more. If we could cut him loose from the Kerry hip and educate him....

Anyway, IMHO one reason he got cold wedding feet was he's wanted to run for office for a while now (he told Jay Leno a year or so ago) and wants to make certain he chooses well and permanently.

Indeed. I saw the O'Reilly appearance by this guy. He comes across as a nice guy, but he is also very stupid.

As long as we're talking crazy talk:
Well, luckily I'm not in Taxachussets, but if I were, I'd support a candidacy by Boston Rob from Survivor before I'd support Ben Affleck.

He is surprisingly hated by many people, and will never live down the Jennifer Lopez fiasco. If you doubt that, go read things like the message boards at IMDB.

Yankee fans despise him, and I think even Red Sox fans are embarrassed by him.

Affleck is a Hollywood "show horse" Kerry and Edwards think they can use out front for the precise reason that he does portray himself to be less radical and more "reasonable" than those political morons they surrounded themselves with in New York (the anti-Bush, foul-mouthed and abusive "heart and soul of America" crowd). In their "extreme makeover" mode, they can't afford to let their extremist Radical Left supporters be out front.

In case you missed it, reprinted below is a letter from the "responses" section of Peggy Noonan's column in the WSJ this week.

"If a Republican Said It
Robert Whittier - Tsuchiura, Japan

" 'You have to enervate the base,' [Ben Affleck] told Chris Mathews." Can you imagine Bush saying this? The press would be all over him! From the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition:
'"enervate:
"'1. To weaken or destroy the strength or vitality of: "the luxury which enervates and destroys nations" (Henry David Thoreau). See synonyms at deplete. 2. Medicine To remove a nerve or part of a nerve.'"

Don't suppose the "language police" among the Liberal talking heads will pick up on this one!

Perhaps there is hope for ben, but he has yet to impress me. Then again I'm not easily impressed.

"He is surprisingly hated..."

He's snotty, like Kerry. So full of himself and always "self promoting". We all know people like this. They never totally get what they want because people eventually see through them. They are usually not very happy and secretly lack self confidence. Kerry will lose in November because the American people are beginning to see him for what he is. His political career is over. He'd better be nice to Mama T.

Affleck is a notorious gambling addict as well.

This kid could definitely be an up and comer. I like him. I listened to his interview on O'Reilly and he presented himself very well. He's not your typical Rat

Oh sheesh, you really relish your role of being the laughing stock of FR don't you.

O'Reilly is an easy interviewer most of the time.

After he screwed the pooch on the Fatso interview, O'Reilly qualified himself as a low-budget Larry King.

He is toothless.

Ben Afflicked is a drunk, a gambler and a whorehound. His career is in the toilet, so he's trying to get facetime however he can. He's a no-talent stupid fool aka RAT.

Does he really want to compete against Barbara Boxer?

For the stupidest Senator?

I understand Affleck has a drug and alcohol problem, and cannot control his gambling. That he's an intellectual lightweight. That he's gay.

Meaning he's the perfect Democrat.

He'll never wise up. He's Hollywood via Massachussetts Liberal.
