Ben Affleck is an expert in nothing. But old fart Schieffer pants after him like a dog. Pathetic.

A fake Indian and a person who make a living in being fake. Perfect for Massachusetts.

Scott Brown might run. Hopefully a Republican will too.

More than a fake hero IMHO. A traitor. DC is a cesspool.

Does he live in Mass or does he just have a house there. Cruelty to animals should be his middle name.

“well, one never knows” seems to describe his mental acuity perfectly!

He isn’t a politician by trade. No background in civil affairs of the country. So why was he on a major network show?

There would be no reason to have him on a Sunday show with their large audience if he weren’t running and had the CBS seal of approval.
