“Gone, Baby, Gone” director Ben Affleck, who tried mightily - but unsuccessfully - to get Sen. John Kerry elected to the White House, said he expects ex-Gov. Mitt Romney to be the Republican nominee in 2008.

Chatting about the upcoming presidential race on the season finale of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the Cambridge homey said he thinks the GOP will end up with Romney because the ex-gov looks good, has nice hair - and the Republicans really don’t have anyone else.

“He says he doesn’t like abortion and he’s all clean-cut and he looks like a Ken doll,” said Affleck who was doing a rather amusing imitation of our ex-gov during the Romney rant.

“The Mormonism thing is really suspect,” he added, “but they’ll take it at this point. I mean, who else do they have? Crazy (Rudy) Giuliani and (John) McCain who’s completely insane? They don’t have any other options.”

Another liberal who utters the word "mormon" with the meaning and feeling of uttering the word "n*gger".

Quantum mechanics lost one of its finest prospects when Ben Affleck chose acting instead.

Oh, thank God he finally weighed in on this.

What, is Affleck projecting Edwards or something?

Like I keep saying, Romney is our Kerry.

“He says he doesn’t like abortion and he’s all clean-cut and he looks like a Ken doll,”

Was he talking about Fred Thompson?

Pearl Harbor
by Team America

I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that’s an awful lot girl
And now, now you’ve gone away
And all I’m trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you

I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile
and that sh*tty movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you

Note to Mr. Affleck:

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Listening to Ben Affleck preach about GOP candidates on the Bill Maher hatefest makes Rosie O'Donnells rants on 9/11 conspiracies seem lucid.

[Huck]

A guy who makes his living saying what he’s told, standing/sitting/walking where he’s told, and wearing what he’s told, is calling someone else a Ken doll? Now THAT’S funny!

[reagan_fanatic]

Who needs physicists, scientists or theorists when we have Ben Affleck?

No, that's chutzpah :)

Damn, just beat me.

I think it was Affleck who took away the seats from an Iraq War Veteran in order to give that lame ass Kerry front row and the first pitch against the Yankees on a prime time Yankees Red Sox game in 2004.

The real hero got a crummier seat, and Kerry proved to the world that in addition to being an a$$hole, he also throws like a girl.

Affleck is a chump of the highest order.

[GnL]

He’s also one of the worst actors of the modern era.
