Clint Eastwood has joked that he turned down an offer to be John McCain's running mate before the presidential candidate had the chance to ask him, and compared actual VP candidate Sarah Palin to Angelina Jolie.
The multiple Oscar winning actor and director told People magazine: "I was at a function, and a bunch of political types were there. And John McCain was there. He came up to say hello. I said, 'Look, don't even ask it. I will not be your vice president. I have to be on the top of the ticket'.
Aside from turning down the job, Eastwood, a registered Republican, has also come to the defense of actual Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
AdvertisementPalin has found herself the butt of numerous jokes since entering the presidential race but, speaking at the premiere of new film 'Changeling', Eastwood said: "When you find somebody people want to put down.it usually means there is something there they are afraid of."
'Changeling' stars Angelina Jolie and when asked if she and Palin had similarities, Eastwood added: "They are totally different types. But I am saying there is a star quality (they have) that scares a lot of people off."
'Changeling' is due to be released in Ireland on 28 November.
Well, there’s ONE favorite of mine who hasn’t turned me off with his political opinion.
Sarah scares the PANTIES off the liberals!!
Sure, the left is afraid women will get the notion that feminism isn’t simply a Godless, soulless adherence to abortion.
Is the “changeling” a story about John McLaim?..
Wouldn’t be nice if Angelina Jolie came out and said she supports Palin!
I’m afraid we’ll have to settle for her daddy.
How bourgeois.
I always sort of hoped for a Heston/Eastwood ticket.....that would have been cool! The NRA President/Dirty Harry ticket...
Sarah scares the PANTIES off the liberals!!

And that’s just the men.
Rather see Dirty Harry as secretary of defense. I thought about a political cartoon back when Reagan was president showing Reagan sitting in the oval office with Gorbachev and Clint standing in the background with the dirty harry suit and sunglasses.
Caption “Oh by the way Mikail, allow me to introduce you to my new secretary of defense!”
She has changed her position on Iraq.. who knows, maybe her and her estranged dad are talking again?
Long time registered Republican. I think you are thinking of Chuck Norris. He said something nice about a Libertarian recently and they tried to claim him, even if he was in Huck’s camp.
Ick. About the only thing I liked Jolie in was "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" where she was flying a fighter jet and wearing an eyepatch and . . . .
hmmmmmm
I wonder how Gov. Palin would look with an eyepatch . . .
I don’t know, I think Sarah would look good as Lady Croft, with a couple of Desert Eagles strapped to her hips.
[’Look, don’t even ask it. I will not be your vice president]
What a presumptive statement for him to make.
A good reply from McCain could have been..”Actually I was going to ask for your autograph but since you brought it up, you’re are too old and too Hollywood for me”
