I. Am. So. Badass! You see, because all Democrats have a badass idol to look up to! I’m going to go grab a golf club and beat the hell out of someone’s car! Sweet:

From MSNBC:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – At 70, without a thing left to prove, Jack Nicholson is sharpening his political edges. Not that he’ll be showing up at any presidential campaign rallies.

“I, by choice, am not an activist at this point,” Nicholson said. “I think Sean Penn is the greatest living American in a certain way, because he’s a man of action. … I feel by being a neutralist in this area, in my actual field of endeavor I can be more effective.”

Isn’t this fun?

That’s worth a signature Jack eyebrow arch. But while he hints at folding progressive messages into his movie roles, Nicholson in conversation also has the crowd-pleasing ability of a natural actor to take both sides of an issue — and make you believe him.

He calls former British Prime Minister Blair a “rock star … he’s wonderful” and says he supports Hillary Clinton in the presidential race (“I’m a friend of the family”). Nicholson acknowledges being “a lifelong Irish Democrat. What more can I say? I voted for what’s his name, (1988 presidential candidate Michael) Dukakis. This was the real test for a Democrat.”
