EXCLUSIVE: MATT DAMON SUPPORTS RECALL CAMPAIGN AGAINST WISCONSIN GOV. SCOTT WALKER | In a breif interview with ThinkProgress at today’s Save Our Schools march in Washington, actor Matt Damon said he supported the movement in Wisconsin to recall Gov. Scott Walker (R), who earlier this year signed union-busting legislation that stripped teachers of collective bargaining rights and made draconian cuts to the state’s education system. ThinkProgress asked Damon if he supported the recall against Walker because of those education cuts. Damon, replied, “Among other things, yeah.” Watch it:

1. Hot Damn!

I love it!!!

2. This made me run off to see if he was from Wisconsin, which he's not.

Not sure it deserves the all-caps, but it's nice to see a brain go with a pretty face.

3. Great!

The thing is, as vocal as he's been (including the clip about Palin), if I'm not mistaken, he's an expat ... Someone correct me if I'm wrong ...

6. I LOVE Matt Damon. nt

7. Actors from Wisconsin: Bradley Whitford, Willem Dafoe.

Bradley is always in our corner, and he's been here to support us this year - he's from Madison. Don't know a thing about Willem's politics.

8. I'll wait to see what Barney Rubble has to say before committing an opinion.

But, you can rest assured that when Rubble releases his opinion, I will post it here at DU IN ALL CAPS to convey a sense of extreme importance and urgency.

Cheers!

9. The comment is fine, but it would be better if he put his talent to work crafting some

TV spots. This is the guy who won an Academy Award for screenwriting; he's bright and he knows how to reach people. Let's see some of that support in some well crafted 15 and 30 second spots.

10. this is big, espcially since Matt lived in Wisconsin for like 2,000 years

as Loki.

to put his money where his mouth is?

12. Man Oh Man, we loves us some celebrity here.

As long as they spout the party line, that is.
