The Daily Caller has learned that Hollywood actor and political activist Ben Affleck met with Democratic Massachusetts Senator John Kerry during a Wednesday visit to Capitol Hill.

CBS Boston’s John Keller reported Tuesday that Affleck’s name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Kerry if President Obama chooses him as Secretary of State.

Affleck, who grew up in Cambridge, is the founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative. He testified before the House Armed Services committee Wednesday about security in the region.

Kerry’s office confirmed the meeting to TheDC and said the two men were photographed together, but there was no opportunity for reporters to ask questions.

The Daily Caller’s request for comment about the discussion was not returned.

I'm living in a total nightmare! I even heard Ashley Judd was considering a run for the Senate.
Maybe they can get Barbra Streistand to run for advisory to the president.../s

We are doomed. Seriously, the stupids are running the country.

I'll believe this Senate run when I see it. These brain dead celebs say they are going to run for this or that all the time. Just listen to Alec Baldwin over the years. They never do. They know they are going to be destroyed when pushed hard on issues. This is a publicity stunt to revive a washed up has beens career.

You have some good points, Frank, but you neglect the most cogent feature of a proposed Affleck senatorial run. It will be in Massachusetts where political insanity is the norm.
