Oscar winner Matt Damon says the idea of Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin being in the Executive Office scares him. “I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could be President and that’s a really scary thing,” said Damon.

Damon said the age and health of Palin’s running mate, 72-year-old Senator John McCain (who has a history of health issues) makes the likelihood of Palin becoming president a frightening probability. “There’s a 1-in-3 chance, if not more, that McCain doesn’t survive his first term and then it will be President Palin,” explained Damon.

In expressing his concern, Damon, 37, likened the scenario to a bad film. "It's a really bad Disney movie: The hockey mom--and she’s president and facing down [Russian president] Vladimir Putin,” Damon said. “It’s totally absurd and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about it.”

Damon, who attended Harvard University, also suggested McCain’s selection of Palin wasn’t based on her experience or qualifications. “I know she was the mayor of a really small town," said Damon. "She’s the Governor of Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand it. I think the pick was made for political purposes, but in terms of governance, it’s a disaster.

“I need to know if she really thinks that dinosaurs were really here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that. Because she’s going to have the nuclear codes. I want to know that and I want to know if she tried to ban books. We can’t have that.”
