Bill Maher: Eastwood 'killed' it
politico ^ | 9/1/12 | CAITLIN MCDEVITT

Posted on 09/01/2012 9:35:17 AM PDT by ColdOne

“As a performer, as a stand-up comedian for 30 years who knows how hard it is to get laughs, excuse me, he went up there … without a net, on a tightrope. There was no teleprompter. He did a bit with just an empty chair and killed,” Maher said. “He committed to it, it was consistent and it worked.”

Thank you for the Ping, TOL.

“Go ahead, make my month,” Darks? It’s got Josey Wales, empty chairs, and a ZOT. What’s not to like?

You watched it on pMSNBC ? No wonder.

I never watch MSNBC or whatever they try to call themselves these days. (Just like ACORN will always be ACORN.)

I watched it on FNC but I was posting and listening more than actually viewing so that could be why I didn't see the TelePrompTers. Your illustration via graphics on this thread is just how it appeared to me. Thanks.

I found it painful because I didn't realize that Eastwood was so old (where have the years gone?). I had a huge crush on Clint Eastwood when he was in Rawhide.

When I got over being sad about his age (and mine) I thought it was brilliant and knew he was imitating Jimmy Stewart talking to Harvey.

I think more people would have caught on immediately if he had a empty suit hanging up there but the chair was good too.

I am a little out of it today - had to put my 14 year old dog to sleep this a.m. :(

Prayers for you Momto2 - what you did was an act of love - but a painful one.

I know this - Eastwood got under the liberal’s skin. That’s a good sign. And you’re right - I think he helped a lot with everyday people who aren’t sure how to vote... He gave them the reason - it’s not personal - but Obama hasn’t done the job...

Maher has praised Coulter’s ability to deliver a good zinger in the past too, so maybe he’s apolitical when it comes to judging comedy. Some liberals tend to sound really reasonable when they’re discussing what they’re truly experts on. It’s the topics they’re ignorant about where they take the liberal side of things...liberalism and ignorance go hand in hand.

You know how dark images of the mind operate without your permission?

Whenever I look at Maher I see a big pen!s in the place of his porn big nose. It’s a sin, I know.

Maher is a pro. Politics may be screwed up but he knows when someone has done an excellent job of comedy/acting.
