Are you kidding? The late night shows draw far more skulls full of mush than any political convention ever did. What this tells me is that Eastwood's bit must have been very effective so the late-night spin doctors must make sure the youth vote gets the right "message."
For years the Lenos, Lettermans, Mahers, Saturday Night Lives ad nauseum have been "interpreting" political events to inflame and misinform the ignorant. Their sole goal is to ridicule the Right and send more liberal voters to the polls. It's been very effective too.
You are so right!
