Everyone has seen Ben Affleck but me Date published: 9/30/2005
THE BUZZ in Richmond Affleck and his pregnant wife, actress Jennifer Garner, are apparently house-hunting in the Charlottesville area, and Affleck is vocal on the national political scene. Someone took "big-name celebrity," added to it "politically active" and "possible future Virginia resident," and came up with an enticing rumor. Well, I'm here to tell you it's not going to happen. Not just because Affleck's spokesman reportedly said it's not. And not just because Democrats might be foolish to put up a name that would get Allen even more national press. No, it's because of me, I'm afraid. I am destined to never see Ben Affleck. See, last summer I was at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, as was Affleck. He was everywhere, it seemed. The Boston papers reported Ben From the way it sounded, Thousands of people saw Ben Affleck. I never did even catch a glimpse. So, I'm sorry to say, I believe this to be a jinx, and it is my destiny And where was I, you might ask, while Affleck was bopping around the convention hall? Where was I on the last night, when John Kerry accepted the nomination and Affleck was probably in a plush box seat eating bonbons? I was outside listening to Kerry's speech as delivered by a hand puppet. And no, that's not a crack at politicians--it was a real, honest-to-goodness puppet.
