7 More Ben Affleck Movie Quotes The GOP Can Use (PICTURES) 
It looks like the debt ceiling negotiations in Washington have become officially ridiculous.
During a conference on Tuesday, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) showed a scene from Ben Affleck's movie "The Town" as a way to motivate fellow Republicans to back House Speaker Boehner's debt ceiling plan. Yeah, "The Town." The one about a bank robbery.
Even Affleck thought the choice was bizarre (and suggested they look at "The Company Men" instead). Our own Jason Linkins points out that the GOP could have chosen a lot worse. But we think they were on the right track by using a line from an Affleck movie as their debt-slashing credo -- they might have just chosen the wrong one.
