It's hard to think of a movie that'd play better in the Obama White House screening room than Matt Damon's new Iraq War thriller, "Green Zone," in which the Oscar-winner adroitly portrays a soldier fighting to expose the Bush administration's weapons of mass destruction deception. Yet for all the ammo his movie may give Democrats, Damon admits he's "disappointed" in the man who replaced George W. Bush.

Howard Zinn’s neighbor, Damon, thinks highly of the fellow-traveler.

Almost graduated from Harvard. He won an academy award for writing a story that was turned into a movie. Not exactly a dummy.

Yep, I like the Bourne movies.....

Yeah, me too. Especially the hand-to-hand combat scenes - very cool.

Anyone needing a picture of Matt Damon can find one conveniently located in the dictionary next to the word ‘imbicile’.

You forgot OBOWzo, the bowing clown.

Sure - the last time Matt Damon discussed politics.

Use Spell Check more often. It helps keep you from appearing idiotic.

Yes, Damon is a pretty boy alright, and it is just another reason why we watch when he is on the screen. Damon has also proved he is complely at a loss when it comes to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. Thankfully we, his viewing public, can put him in the right box!

Even though the USA is the enemy in the movies????

It seemed to me that an elite rogue faction within the CIA that considers itself above the law is the enemy, rather than the USA.

“I’m Matt Damon!”

I enjoyed your movie The Departed where you got your face punched in by Leonardo Dicaprio.

Oops - my bad. I usually use spell check. Hopefully this post will be less ‘idiotic’ that the last.

I don’t think he has made a movie without some political message to it (including the Bourne trilogy).

You have to give Matt Damon credit for getting in shape for these movies and getting lots of martial arts training. Damon puts forth the effort. Yes the movie camera and good editing makes Damon look better than he is. But Damon does his part to make the fight scenes gritty and real. The hand to hand combat in the first Bourne was an eye opener because I figured Damon would be a wuss. Lets give this HollyWeird commie his due
