K-Lo Interviews Breitbart
Kathryn Jean Lopez has a great interview with Andrew Breitbart of the Drudge Report:
NRO: Will Ben Affleck wind up running for president? He, sadly, did beat Bob Novak in a tax debate this summer on Crossfire.
Breitbart: I sure hope he runs! And at that moment we can all start looking into his long-term relationship with alternative social historian Howard Zinn. After the success of Good Will Hunting, Affleck and Matt Damon optioned Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. It’s a great history lesson — if you like America constantly denigrated and blamed for every world problem under the sun. In that regard it’s a great primer to the criticism America is getting for things half way around the globe, like the south-Asian tsunami tragedy. Affleck and Damon tried to get it turned into a multipart HBO series.
Affleck, who I just saw getting into his ($100k?) Mercedes after running into Starbucks in the pricey Pacific Palisades section of L.A., seems to fancy the political class inhabited by the likes of Dennis Kucinich, to whose cosmically comical presidential campaign Affleck donated money. Bring it on, Ben. Please. We can’t wait to hear the socialist ideals of America’s most conspicuous consumer — 1997-2005.
