Argo director Ben Affleck may be one of Hollywood's leading liberals, but he could take the extra step and enter politics in the not too distant future. That's the opinion of his wife, actor Jennifer Garner, who suggested Affleck's future career direction in a forthcoming interview in Allure magazine.

"Pearl Harbor sucked, but not as bad Ben Affleck's acting..."

Ah. Because he is so handsome, that makes him a cinch to go far in politics, and as such, qualifies him.

One of them coming out with a new film or something? Only time Hollywood types speak out usually.

Ben, no way. But I’d vote for Jennifer if she promised to always wear the Elektra outfit.

Sounds like a good fit.

Low IQ - natch.
Total lack of historical knowledge and perspective - yup.
Big mouth controlled by small brain - got it.

If he can manage to dumb himself down a bit more, he’ll be a good twin for Nancy Botoxi.

He certainly would do better in ANY line of work than his current one.

Let’s see if “Big Liberal” is willing to give up 20 million a year.

My guess is no.

Who says he’ll give up anything? More likely he will double that in bennies. Like they nearly all do with legalized insider trading.

Then there’s the promise of future earnings guarenteed via speaking fees and the ass kissing that elected office commands over and above that of a mere actor...

The guy is rich, married to a total babe and dumber than dirt. He’s a shoe in for success.

Oh, but then what about her poor children always being in the public eye with photogs following their every move?

I have the utmost disdain for most of the Hollyweirds and almost never go to movies .... but I'd go more often if he and others would continue to make movies as good as "Argo" was.

Which doesn't in the slightest qualify him for public office, of course. But in this day and age you get elected if your spouse croaked while "serving" i.e. Callahan, Bono, Capps, etc. so he'll probably get whatever position he runs for.
