Could they get more convoluted in their brazen attempt to diminish Clint's speech?

Part of the genius in the use of the imaginary Obama was that Eastwood didn’t want us to see the chair as empty. This enabled him to correctly depict Obama’s reaction to being criticized.

“Tell Romney to go f#@k himself”.

“Go f#@k yourself Eastwood”.

And by implication...

“Go f#@k yourself courts”.

“Go f#@k yourself legislative branch”.

“Go f#@k yourself Catholic Church”.

“Go f#@k yourself private sector”.

Add me as a YES!

It could have been a little less rambling but Clint is 82 and not a natural stand up comic.

YES!

I was hoping it would have been a refinement of the Half Time in American commercial. But, I enjoyed it.

I was originally thinking that this speech was a mistake, but as think further, this was in retrospect pure genius.

1. You got to admit, this was memorable, and will indelibly the vision of a empty chair (empty leadership) will ring far past this convention.

2. Who better than Clint to be able to make insulting Obama acceptbale without looking racist.

History will this was a great strategic move.
