Yikes. That actually sounded really snotty to me-- I would have felt okay if he had added, "And I mean, wait a minute, let me be clear, this isn't about Alaska or hockey moms or anything. You know what would happen if *I* were president? Same deal. We'd be fucked! Being a soccer mom doesn't prepare you to be president, being mayor of 5000 people doesn't prepare you, being an actor doesn't prepare you, being #1 on the Billboard charts doesn't prepare you. You know what prepares you to be president? Knowing a lot about public policy! Being a good politician who knows how to get things done, and has experience!"
Instead it just comes off like Sarah Palin can't be Vice President because she's not a Real Person, and we're given to understand that maybe Matt Damon is, or at least, people he doesn't think are caricatures are.

I mean, I knew he was a good actor. But that doesn't make a person articulate! And SMRT!
