Affleck: "Bush Can Be Hung"

Ben Affleck should probably stick to being a B-rated actor and stay away from politics.

Appearing on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Affleck charged that President Bush "probably also leaked” CIA agent Valerie Plame's name and so "if he did, you can be hung for that! That's treason!” He continued: "You could be killed. That's not a joking around Tom DeLay 'I'll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.' That's like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that.”

Hmm...a President who can legally declassify information does so in order to rebut a complete lie described in the NY Times by Joe Wilson and Ben thinks that is tantamount to treason. Let's just say we don't have to worry that Affleck will become a lawyer anytime soon.
