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."
More importantly, isn't it up to the executive branch of the government to decide what is and what isn't classifed? And the last time I checked, the President of the United States is the head of the executive branch, and his decision to declassify something would be perfectly legal.

Why in hell would that little duck care about the president?
Shouldn't he be busy peddling insurance?
He just wishes he was hung.
To quote a famous American popularist; "What a Maroon!" (Bugs Bunny)
Bill Maher surrounds himself with these intellectual midgets to make himself look sophisticated. Here's a hint, Bill-it ain't working.
A true idiot, with no knowledge of the english language. Meat is HUNG. People are HANGED!!!
Jennifer Garner is a terrific looking girl. But as Ron White says, don't judge someone by their looks: You can fix cosmetic flaws: But "You can't fix stupid."

Ben, Ben, Ben... you really are out of your element bud.
Bush determines what can and can't be declassified, so he can't be judged to have leaked anything. The one exception would be an active agent in the field, but if he did that for national security reasons, he'd probably be justified and not guilty of doing anything wrong by doing so.
As for Tom Delay, you have to be convicted of something to be a criminal. Just because you have determined he's gulity, it doesn't make it so.
Now, all that pompous anger sure looks childish doesn't it.
No, Benny: this is "criminal":
Red Sox fan... big time.
He maybe a moron, but the title is a bit of a lie. First he was talking generally that IF IF IF IF Bush did this he could be hung. What the hell are you guys drinking? If you bash someone do it truthfully.
Once and for all, WHO CARES what these CLUELESS SHOWBIZ IDIOTS have to say about anything? They're sub par and mediocre at best in their chosen profession (compared to the the great stars of the past) and they're miserably out of their league as political commentators as well. I'd care more and have more respect for my cat's opinion about political matters, but he refuses to comment. All of hollywood's dreck feeds at the same trough and their "opinions" are always so predictable and childish. As the untalented idiots that they are, who make their living parroting someone else's diologue, no one should expect them to have an intelligent, original thought about anything. They're like spoiled children who are dependent on their parents to make the ultimate good decisions for them that would benefit the country they are so fortunate to live in. Screw them all and by the way Freepers, please join me in my ongoing boycott against any and all of the garbage that seeps from that overflowing cesspool called hollywood.
I think he wants to use the term hanged. Hung refers to what some is and some isn't.
I have a dog named after Ben Afleck. He is always hicking his leg and trying to urinate on our cactus plants. That dog sure can howl when he does that. Ouch. Poor dumb Ben.
If Afflack slept in a Holiday Inn, he would be a moron when he woke up.
