Nuttin on Eastwood?
I figured you libs would be having a heyday bashing old Clint today. I thought his little act was funnier than hell. I hear Newhart may be suing him for stealing his phone act and converting it to a chair.:D Did you guys even see it last night?

I saw it and Clint seemed pretty disheveled. The focus on Clint today has diminished the focus upon Romney's speech, something the Romney campaign is quite upset about. I'm quite sure Romney and Co. wish it could have gone down differently.

If you ignore his delivery (Lt. Colombo), he did make valid points. Might also be a setup. If the media wastes a news cycle on this, he's more than capable of coming back with a more articulate manner of reinforcing his talking points. And burning another news cycle. America likes Eastwood, and throwing his weight behind Romney helps him. I wouldn't sell him short, he didn't get to where he is by being stupid. Chas |
I was waiting to see if this would come up and when. He played to the room and I figured public speaking on the fly might just not be his cup of tea. Making good movies now on the other hand. In his defense ad libbing at any age can be hard and add being on live TV only added to the pressure.
It was still painful to watch and follow. Barney |

I thought he was great. I laughed. Don't know why everyone on Rmoney's team got so bent out of shape over it. Highlight of the convention, no doubt. I don't agree with him, but that was a great speech. And the tone was great too, I thought. Yeah, he made points, but it was funny and not mean spirited.
Clint's awesome. Wrong, but awesome. And the speech was great. |

And I really like Eastwood so it's pretty disappointing to me. John |
Dunno why Eastwood's talk with the empty chair seems to have little credit here. Heck, I understood Eastwood's point perfectly. Obama's chair may as well been empty his whole term as he really hasn't done anything. :D

Honestly, watching Clint slip like that made me sad. I remember when Mom started talking to empty chairs and shouting into closets. It only goes down from there. He is one of my faves, too. A great actor. He is a conservative, but he's not an ass. Which makes him a rare bird indeed. Dave |
