Hope we see an empty chair following mitt to louisiana and every where else . It should be a permanent icon for the rest of the campaign

There needs to be an empty chair at every campaign event from here on out!

I said on another thread that it should have a golf club or bag leaning against it.

Obama is so thin skinned he (or somebody on his Twitter account) had to respond. A Reagan or even Dubya would have just laughed it off.

Given the hysteria the media is in about it, pretty clear they understand just what a blow this was to 0’s carefully manufactured PR image.

When your all image and no substance like 0, what Eastwood did is utterly devastating. He made it acceptable to average people to laugh at Obama. Scorn and ridicule is kyptonite to cult of personality candidates

I watched him last night and was in tears with pride and laughing at the same time. Thanks for the link.

>> Rush Limbaugh is one of the few people praising Clint Eastwood’s performance

Count me as one of the few.

From comments at the link;

“Does this guy have any advertisers, yet?”

Another;

“He is down to public service announcements. He has no advertisers.

“Rush has met his intellectual match.
An 82 year old senile man.”

Two words about Clint's address at the convention: :

"IT WORKED!".

I agree. Eastwood is a genius and the liberal claims of his rambling are proof.

At the risk of injuring his delivery, I'd offer the entire speech went according to plan. ;)

Eastwood dealt the GOP pair of aces. That should make three now, if they get to play the hand.

He made it acceptable to average people to laugh at Obama.

Exactly. I've been saying this all day. It was brilliantly performed, even down to his appearance and doddering manner. And his references to "He can't do that to himself" were in-your-face references to Obama's repeated use of the middle finger, especially during Paul Ryan's remarks at the Obama healthcare summit.

So today, the MSM is off their script. Normally they'd be tearing the convention apart, especially Romney's speech last night. But no, Eastwood ran cover and all we hear about is his performance. Meanwhile, Romney jumps the shark and heads to LA to tour the flood areas with Bobby Jindal, causing Obama to hastily put together a visit on Monday. I just love it.

“......Limbaugh said, according to a transcript of his show.....”

The guy couldn’t bother to listen to the show.
