Actor Matt Damon wants to know if Sarah Palin really believes...

The Associated Press

Actor Matt Damon wants to know if Sarah Palin really believes dinosaurs were on the earth 4,000 years ago. Damon finds himself rightly terrified that Palin would hold such a belief along with the power to execute a nuclear war.

It’s like a really bad Disney movie. You know the hockey mom, ‘Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska.’ And she’s the President, and it’s like she’s facing down Vladamir Putin.”

63% of fundamentalists claim to believe every word in the Bible is literally true.

1. Good luck getting that question asked to her Matt.
Mooselini has all the cameras on her only when she holds up catnip.

7. Matt Damon hit the nail on the head - "bad Disney movie"
I think that's how some of these gullible voters buy the idea that some random public servant whose biggest strength to potentially lead this nation is being a mother is fit for the second-highest office in the land: They watch too many movies where Joe Public, through totally fictional and impossible circumstances, fumbles their way to the role of the leader of the free world, where their endearing obliviousness to world affairs manages to disarm foreign enemies and everything works out great.

I really think some of them believe that.

This nation has been seriously dumbed down.

10. Hey Matt, if you want to see a "bad Disney movie" watch Gibson's interview with Palin.
As I'm sure that it will contain absolutely NO substance, much like the rest of the programing on Disney's ABC network.

Though I do hope he asks that question. I too would like to hear her answer.

11. Hey the destruction of the earth is a good thing
the worse it gets the faster Jesus comes. In fact, my main purpose in life is to help bring about the end of the world. Then when it get the worst with death and destruction all around *poof* the Oval Office is unmanned. Praise the Lord and hand me the button.

14. Thank you Mr. Damon.
Finally someone with media recognition asks what all of us with half a brain have been asking all along.

Now if someone would only ask some of the other questions as well.

18. Tell Charlie Gibson ! Matt Damon can ask a question of Saracuda aka Mooselini.
He could get some celebs to ask questions to add spice to the show.

20. I just want to know if Palin thinks the United States is a Christian nation
I don't care about her stand on dinosaurs. A candidate doesn't have to be an extremist fundamentalist to be objectionable. I want to know if she strongly supports the complete separation of church and state and if she rejects theocracy entirely, whatever the specific beliefs behind that theocracy might be.
