Lol, I doubt that. Eastwood has been an actor for around sixty years. He was talking to an empty chair and obviously using humor to ridicule Obama. I expect he did exactly what he intended to do exactly as he intended to do it.
Exactly...
Clint hammered obama & biden. He thinks they're incompetents. I loved every minute of it. obama is in shock right now that Clint said those things about him.
I would say it was right on the edge, and every time you thought he might drift and embarrass himself. He saved everything with a zappy punchline.
It was edgy, it was different, a tight rope act, but in the end he was great.
Much of the criticism plays into a pet peeve of mine- our society’s lack of respect for older people, who are a repository of wisdom, experience and talent.
