Is Ben Affleck Going to Run for Senate?

Can you imagine a U.S. Senate , as bad as it already is, with both Affleck and Elizabeth Warren as a part of it? It might happen.

New York Magazine's Dan Amira has done some deep reading between the lines and concludes:
Ben Affleck Running for Senate, Probably

Why else did he respond to a question about a rumored Senate run by telling a Politico reporter, "That’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about what role we can place in making the Eastern Congo a better place"?

  1. Well, at least he didn't mention the fiscal cliff. It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between The Onion and the "real" news.

    1. Here's the difference:
      The Onion has to make its stories at least FEASIBLE. :)

  2. Afleck, as a paid actor, is the worst. The guy's a millionaire. For what? Pearl Harbor? Growing up watching Daniel Day Lewis, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Robert Dinero, G. Edward Robinson, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Sterling Hayden, George Sanders, Robert Ryan, Richard Boone, Steve McQueen, Richard Widmark, Sinatra, Donald O'Connor, Eastwood's "Josie Wales," Afleck is the new metro, non-sexual son of Berkely-ites. Just looking at Afleck gets me bored. And his voice, ugh! If anybody could set me straight, please share with me his acting virtues for I cannot detect them. He was always paired with Jennifer Gardner. And now he's bidding for senate? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esVgG-4jrKQ

  4. Yikes, Affleck in the Senate... it's a sign people... the Mayans must be right. It's all over on the 21st folks. God help us all.

  5. Another actor that has grand ideas on how to re-order society in his image, no doubt. Hold on to your wallet.

  6. Yes, he will run. Yes, he will (probably?) win.

    I saw him on Bill Maher's show, and he showed his fangs, and it just makes sense. Not the good kind of sense, mind you, but I mean it follows.

  7. The senate is already a sick joke. Maybe he can caucus with the retard Al Franken. They can start their own club, the "Clueless Hollywood A**hole Caucus."

  8. If his politics is anything remotely akin to his buddy, Maaatt Daaaamon (Team America movie), then we're looking at another humanitarian with the guillotine.

  9. Well that's another pro-TSA vote, we can say that much. Since Ben Affleck defended the TSA.

    I really don't understand what these assholes think they can accomplish. Does he have any original insights other democrats don't have? He's just gonna pile his own similar crap onto the pile already there. What's the point?

  10. From one form of play-acting to another! His platform? More foreign aid, because who needs empirical evidence that foreign aid works when you, a millionaire, spent a little time pretending to be a commoner. Maybe the fiscal cliff is a blessing in disguise, no?

    1. Agreed - he spends his life pretending to be someone he isn't, doing things he hasn't. Playing make believe, being grossly over paid, and having millions fawn over him and kiss his ass for accomplishing nothing. How could he possibly run for the Sen - Ahhh, never mind...
