Choke on Them Apples: Matt Damon's 5 Best Unscripted Political Moments

By Dustin Rowles


Matt Damon doesn’t make me cringe when he talks politics; he speaks from a place of understanding and intelligence, and he doesn’t sound like a blowhard, either. He’s the kind of guy that I’d like to see run for office one day because he knows the issues and can speak to them passionately and articulately. It helps, of course, that I agree with his politics. Right now, when there are practically no politicians in Washington who are well liked or for whom we can passionately root, it’s nice to see someone like Damon speak some goddamn sense.

He doesn’t do it often on camera, but when he does, he makes an impact. Here are Matt Damon’s 5 Best Unscripted Political Moments. Put some W.G. Snuffy music in the background, and this man could easily be the next Senator of Massachusetts.

To lighten the mood and because it is in the Pajiba bylaws to do so whenever Matt Damon is mentioned, here’s his impression of Matthew McConaughey. It never gets old.

    He should run for president.. Independently.. I think he'd have a good following.. I'm sure Matt Stone and Trey Parker would vote for him. :lol:

    Agree Matt Damon is well read and spoken.

    Guess this is the result of growing up with Howard Zinn in your neighborhood.
