Why not tell people to go out and vote, just like you do? Doh!
Affleck, who for now earns millions per screen appearance, appeared alongside the bar with Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy to pour a few highballs urge lawmakers to increase the federal minimum wage from its current five dollars and 15 cents per hour to seven dollars per hour.
Sure, let’s just throw a bunch of people out of work. Why can’t you and Ted make a few waitress sandwiches instead?
A Masshole Massachusetts native, Affleck said Kennedy tapped him to appear at the news conference to bring more visibility to the cause.
"Maybe the senator saw my move ’Gigli’ and assumed I would soon be working for minimum wage myself," Affleck said, indulging in a bit of self-ridicule over the widely-panned film in which he co-starred with ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez (news).
I swear I did not read ahead there, folks... |
