Ooohh, methinks some people on the left are rather thin-skinned. It seems that Dirty Harry has struck a nerve.

Another gem was his use of a former President's assessment of Romney's "stellar business performance"Thus far, Mr. Eastwood's use of Clinton's "stellar business performance" has either slid by unnoticed or is being ignored by Clint's Demo critics.
I heard it the first time by and thought that this is a very well thought out "bumbling" skit.

Confident men shrug off criticism (or learn from it, depending on its validity). Good leaders know not everyone will agree with them.
Small men, weak men, feel they have to react to every slight, real or just perceived. Poor leaders are always looking behind them to see if they are still being followed.

Hopefully the entire Obama crowd, and its legacy of dishonesty and mediocrity, will be gone in five months.

Play Clinty For Me
By Mark Steyn

Like William F. Gavin, I hugely enjoyed Clint Eastwoods turn last night, but Im not sure I agree that it was unintentionally hilarious and that he forgot his lines, lost his way. Clint is a brilliant actor, and a superb director of other actors (and I dont just mean a quarter-century ago: In the last five years, hes directed eight films). Hes also, as Mr. Gavin observed, a terrific jazz improviser at the piano and, in film and music documentaries, an extremely articulate interviewee. So I wouldnt assume that the general tenor of his performance wasnt exactly as he intended. The hair was a clue: No Hollywood icon goes out on stage like that unless he means to.
John Hayward writes:
The intended recipient was not Mitt Romney, the convention delegates, or even Republican voters, but rather wavering independents. Clint was there to tell them its OK to find Obama, his ugly campaign operation, and his increasingly shrill band of die-hard defenders ridiculous. Its OK to laugh at them.
Im not sure he could have pulled that off if hed delivered a slick telepromptered pitch.

Steyn and Hayward nailed it. That’s exactly what Clint was doing. And it appears to have worked.

Jay Carney should go back and look at it again. Clint said Obama was “absolutely crazy” among other things.
To: Free ThinkerNY
I wasnt quite sure what I was watching,
That’s because you never saw the Jimmy Stewart movie “Harvey,” Jay. If you had, you would have known you were witnessing a brilliant parody of that film’s main character, Elwood P. Dowd:

I imagine Eric the Holder is going to sue Arizona because of Clints speech.The Charge: Ridicule without a federal permit
Yes, Clint knew exactly what he was doing.
Saul Alinsky Rule 5: "Ridicule is mans most potent weapon.
Its hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

You know that Obama can’t get that brilliant bit of theater out of his mind. I love it!

A smart administration wouldn’t have even commented on it. The fact that they have speaks volumes of how badly it got under their skin.
