Best bet for the American left? Matt Damon.
A suggestion by outspoken liberal filmmaker Michael Moore became an Internet sensation on Wednesday. Since he urged the 41-year-old actor to run for president of the United States on the weekend, the idea has gained traction on both political blogs and Hollywood websites. A big name like Mr. Damon might help secure electoral victory, the director of Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 said while taking part in a virtual town-hall discussion hosted by the blog FireDogLake over the weekend.
“I think that he has been very courageous in not caring about who he offends by saying the things that need to be said here, and if you want to win, the Republicans have certainly shown the way – that when you run someone who is popular, you win,” Mr. Moore said.
“Sometimes even when you run an actor, you win. And I guess I only throw his name out there because I’d like us to start thinking that way.”

In 1993 I worked on Geronimo in Moab, UT. It was one of Damon’s first movies.
At the time I didn’t realize that he was such a lunatic. But, then again, I should have known. He’s an actor.
The main thing I remember is that his girlfriend was a good looking blonde.
Damon won’t even be able to pass himself off as POTUS in a comedy or horror flick.
Can a robot become President?
More proof that many libs are crazy.
They call Sarah Palin crazy, then they run people like Al Franken.
Project much?
The only way he could win if only teen girls were allowed to vote.
Moore has a vacation home in northern Michigan around the Bellair area. I’d love to read of some stray rounds busting out his windows during deer season...........
So, is Moore throwing his full weight behind Damon?
He has almost enough weight to cause a lunar eclipse. It’s substantial.
“Twinkies and ice cream czar.”
Also known as “health food.”
Well, OK, so it’s not weight that counts in an eclipse. It’s cross-sectional area. But he’s pretty well stocked in that regard as well.
I can already see the Political Ads with the Team America Mat Damon thingy... ROFLMAO
[”Michael Moore thinks Matt Damon should run for president, and he isn’t alone” ]
That is certainly not a joke. I believe Matt Damon joins Moore in that opinion.
Cheers!
I was kinda thinking Larry David for President.
The fat idiot thinks one of Hollyweird’s dumbest mental midget actors should run for president. Didn’t he play a smart kid in some past movie? I guess in libtard fantasy land that makes him smart in real life.
Great. A male Helen Thomas!
He did really well in Team America: World Police so let’s encourage him to run.

He met Moore on the set of Team America?
Mikey baby probably has the hots for Matt...
“He met Moore on the set of Team America?”
Yeah, they fed each other veggie hot dogs.
