The BBC reports:
Hollywood actor Ben Affleck has attacked US President George Bush’s “dangerous right-wing” policies, which he said were eroding civil liberties.
Speaking in Los Angeles, Affleck, 31, was accepting an award from political group, People For The American Way. He received the Spirit of Liberty award for his work on behalf of children’s rights and voter registration.
Affleck also compared the current state of US politics to the last days of the Roman Empire. Referring to fellow film star Arnold Schwarzenegger’s recent election as Governor of California, he compared “the dawn of the Schwarzenegger era in American politics” to the empire’s decline.
I wonder if he’ll get Dixie Chicked. Frankly, I wouldn’t mind him and Lopez being out of the papers for a while. Maybe thats his cunning plan.
