"Benator"?
This just in: Ben Affleck, who appears to be relocating to Charlottesville with expectant (and super fly, if I do say so myself) wife Jennifer Garner, is rumored to be considering a run at incumbent George Allen for his seat in the U.S. Senate. To wit:
"It's spread pretty widely, at least in the political underground," University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato, Virginia's premier pundit, told Michael Shear, The Post's Richmond correspondent.... Affleck spokesman Ken Sunshine said the rumors are baseless, though "he would be a superb candidate for public office in the future. Right now, he's very busy directing his first feature movie for Disney, 'Gone, Baby, Gone'.This smells like a Schwarzenegger-like move on Affleck's part. He's widely acknowledged as a young, active liberal with charisma and money. Just what the Dems need, right?

I think he's also known for being a wet blanket and not particularly the sharpest tool in the shed (tool being the operative word). If he wants to run, more power to him. That's certainly his right as a non-felon citizen of this country. However, I'll look towards his candidacy in the same light as I did Gary Coleman's bid for the governor of California. "Wha'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?!"
Its just a shame about that nice Jennifer Garner girl 'gone and screwed up her life with that good for nuthin'.
