It’s a pity that Gov. Bob McDonnell caved to the MSM within minutes of Eastwood’s brilliant speech. When will Republicans grow a set?

Play Clinty For Me

Like William F. Gavin, I hugely enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s turn last night, but I’m 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 don’t just mean a quarter-century ago: In the last five years, he’s directed eight films). He’s also, as Mr. Gavin observed, a terrific jazz improviser at the piano — and, in film and music documentaries, an extremely articulate interviewee. So I wouldn’t assume that the general tenor of his performance wasn’t 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 it’s OK to find Obama, his ugly campaign operation, and his increasingly shrill band of die-hard defenders ridiculous. It’s OK to laugh at them.
I’m not sure he could have pulled that off if he’d delivered a slick telepromptered pitch.

It's been totally entertaining to follow the twitter explosion as well, this thing has a life of it's own!
We have Dirty Harry. The dems. have Dingy Harry.....no contest.
Alinsky's Rules For RadicalsRule 5:
Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Eastwood kicked ass and took names. Just as he has done throughout his entire career. Spin it any way you want but them’s the facts.
"Liberals cannot stand being laughed at."
They have an overblown sense of self worth and ANYTHING that threatens that sense of worth is to be feared....deprecating laughter more than anything drives them ape-sh*t.
An Observation:
Anything similar the democrats do to imitate and retaliate will be seen as sour grapes and will fall flat on its face with everyone except Obama die-hards.
The real genius was that he managed to keep his performance under two hours for once ...
Clint rocked. Period.
I thought it was a fantastic visual.
The empty chair represented to me the fact that
normal-thinking Americans have been ignored
for nearly 4 years.
The empty chair has ignored us regarding
obamacare, illegals, gay marriage, etc.
and all the while telling us to go
_____ ourselves (through surrogates
and in-your-face EOs).
Clint talked back to it and ridiculed it for us.
It was brilliant and I adore him for doing it.

wait for the inevitable “me too” moment at the DNC
MRomney will be ‘featured’ in an empty chair numerous times. maybe other right leaning types as well
They should have put CLIDE in the chair!
and the stupid threesome on Fox this morning, Clayton Allison & what’s his name just made fun of it.
I guess they are too young to be smart.
I don’t understand why they just can’t report the news and shut up!
Why do they have to give their own analysis, which is usually WRONG!
Everyone who watched Clint’s presentation can remember 99% of everything he said with little effort. This is what they strive for in the world of advertising but seldom achieve.
Effective? Absolutely! Pretty good for a crusty old man, I’d say. The rambling stammering, stuttering and incomplete thoughts and sentences were intentional. (Obama without TOTUS) Brilliant!
That empty Ogabe the Communist chair should appear on stage at every Romney Rally between now and election day, and should be featured in every GOP TV ad.
It is a potent symbol of the Resident Nobody. When Eric the Red and Big Sis launch the False Flag DHS Crisis Sept or Oct Surprise, the Empty Chair can be asked to explain why is the desperate Omullah again attacking American citizens, freedoms, and institutions.
Empty seat for Mr. EmptyHead-
Obummr the Rotten Egghead
