The reviews continue to pour in on Clint Eastwood’s appearance at the Republican National convention Thursday night, and "mixed" might be a charitable way to put it. One prominent Republican, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, said that he "cringed" at the performance.
An unattributed release from the Romney campaign defended Eastwood, according to The Wall Street Journal: "Judging an American icon like Clint Eastwood through a typical political lens doesn’t work. His ad-libbing was a break from all the political speeches, and the crowd enjoyed it,” the statement read.

We have had 3 very weird election cycles (Presidency). Gore almost winning 2000, Kerry getting uncomfortably close and Obama actually winning. Three very weak Democratic people and they won or almost won. We are living in a very weird time.

Great picture, thanks!
Clint’s great insightful sight gag!
The image is reality, and the Democrats know it.
If they try to counter, their sight gag will be compared to Clint’s.
For all the complaints about the Eastwood speech, this morning when I logged onto Facebook, several folks had empty chair related status posts. Now, THAT is effective.
LOL! Maybe mitt just plain sucks. Well, not maybe. Fact. Your turn to deal with it.
Liked how Clint pointed out Obama is flying around in gas guzzling air force one to talk about student loans....not jobs or bigger issues. Time to let Obama go.
Clint should go to the DNC Convention and do the chair routine with Romney in the hot seat.
See it on Youtube. There are numerous full and clip postings of Eastwood’s speech at the Convention.
HA!
They said you were going to be at the RNC convention.
I'm sorry that they didn't let you call out to the guy in the chair to stand up.
You must feel *terrible*.
One said "You didn't build that" and one went ahead and did.
One had a dad who was a refugee from Mexico, the other one doesn't have a valid birth certificate.
One doesn't want his daughter punished with a baby, the other one comes from a culture of breeders.
One made his money the old-fashioned way...he earned it. The other made his money the Chicago way.
One knows that the government is made up of employees; the other one appoints czars.
One of them supports Occupy Wall Street, the other one works with Wall Street.
One of them is clean living, the other admitted in his own biography to using marijuana and cocaine.
One of them remembers and loves the country he grew up in, the other one call recite the Muslim call to prayer from Indonesia without an accent.
One of them is trying to keep Iran from getting nukes, the other one is trying to pick up where Jimmy Carter left off.
One of them takes multi-million-dollar vacations at tony locales with other peoples' money, the other one gives away millions of dollars of his own money to charity.
But, I guess you're right, they are just the same.
They both hate Sarah Palin.
Cheers!

That was Porky Pig Karl Rove and his flooding the GOPe with crypto-queers.
From my piece written after the 2010 Teanami, An Insomniac's Recap of the Elections:
So, let's look at the record of the Establishment GOP since the first election of George W. Bush (where the victory was so narrow that the Dems complained he was "selected, not elected." (And that, over Clinton's hand-picked successor.)
House: +8 +3 -30 -21 net --> -40
Senate: +2 +4 -6 -8 net --> -8
Heckuva job, Karl.
Compare that to the Tea Parties:
House: +65
Senate: +6
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Cheers!
Ronald Reagan was a former union leader and Democrat. He had sense enough to repent and make some first-rate contributions to the defense of the Republic. Nonetheless, his other policies and actions sometimes aided the further erosion of the authority of the U.S. Constitution, the Sovereignty of the States, the sovereignty of U.S. Citizens, and a Constitutional Supreme Court. Unless you subscribe to the Cult of the Personality and/or partisan political governance, a fair review of President Reagan’s Administration must acknowledge the merits of some of his policies and acts while also acknowledging the demerits of his failures to protect and restore the Constitutional rights and sovereignth of the U.S. Citizens and their State governments.
“I’m a political junkie, but I find most politicians’ speeches annoying and condescending. The art of giving an engaging speech is lost, in my humble opinion.”
The left has talked down to their people for a long time, certainly no later than Carter who was always scolding and patronizing towards Americans. As I recall it, JFK could be inspirational, LBJ pontificated, and Carter scolded. We had a golden era with Reagan, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp and Newt Gingrich in their prime, but the GOP started Carteresque hectoring and condescending with Bush I. The condescending travels with the smug elitism, and has been pretty thick since 1989.
You removed yourself from the Game when you capitulated to the people who herded you into accepting tgthe false belief they could offer you only two choices, both of which were their representatives. By disparaging anyone who would have the temerity to reject being herded into false choices, you aid their efforts to keep the majority of U.S. Citizens from straying too far away ffrom their grand scheme to impose a one world government in which they are the indisputable leadership accountable only to themselves and not to the Citizens.
Sometimes the only way to win a rigged game is to not play the game. You can only make a new game in which the players mus play by your rules and not their rules.
thank you...
