In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Matt Damon spoke out on the Republican Party’s decision to nominate Alaska Governor and self-proclaimed “hockey mom,” Sarah Palin, for Vice President.

Needless to say, the Academy Award-winning actor is not pleased.

For Damon, Palin’s inexperience, coupled with McCain’s age, present the greatest concern.

“I think there's a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that's a really scary thing... Do the actuary tables and there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term and it'll be President Palin.”

If such a “nightmare” should arise, Damon believes Palin won’t be ready to handle the responsibility that comes with being commander-in-chief.

“She’s facing down Vladimir Putin… using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink… I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago… because she’s going to have the nuclear codes.”

Good question, Mr. Damon. America -- nay, the World -- needs an answer to this question before the November election.

Then again -- does President Bush even know when dinosaurs existed? Probably not, which is proof positive that a person doesn't need a degree in history to become the leader of the United States.
