Affleck: Bush 'Can Be Hung' for Leakgate
NewsMax ^ | 4/8/06 | NewsMax

Posted on 04/08/2006 8:16:12 PM PDT by wagglebee

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."

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

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

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.

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!"

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.

"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.

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.

Actors.....no wonder someone has to write their lines - this is what happens when they "go off" on their own. Idiots!

Correction! Bush may be hanged, not hung. Cheney may be hung.

I didn't hear him whining about Kerry being a traitor while he was campaigning for him. Hypocrite.

I'm pretty sure that Ben can't come up with a complete sentence on his own, so it was probably scripted from somewhere.

I think Ben is getting President Bush and Vice President Cheney confused
