Republican Convention's Mystery Guest Revealed?

I still say the mystery guest is the frozen corpse of Ronald Reagan rolled out onto the stage.



A well-placed Republican source tells Townhall that Oscar-winning director and actor Clint Eastwood will travel to Tampa, Florida to attend Mitt Romney's nominating convention this week.

As the news media scrambles to identify the so-called "mystery speaker" scheduled to address GOP delegates on Thursday evening, some have speculated that the iconic Hollywood figure could fit the bill.

Our source -- who spoke on the condition of anonymity -- could not confirm if Eastwood is, in fact, the intriguing "to-be-announced" speaker, but stated unequivocally that the Dirty Harry star will arrive in Florida late on Wednesday or early on Thursday, and will return to southern California on Friday.

Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month and backed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in 2008. He also attracted political buzz when he cut a controversial Super Bowl ad for Chrysler earlier this year, which some viewed as a tacit message in favor of President Obama. (oops!)

If he is the RNC mystery man, Eastwood would address Republican delegates just prior to Sen. Marco Rubio's introduction of Romney in primetime on Thursday night.

MY FRIEND MADE ME WATCH THAT AND I CRIED FOR LIKE 15 MINUTES AFTERWARD

That movie was the worst, it was like everybody saw their script the first time 5 minutes before shooting the scene. And the script was written the night before and handed to Eastwood without editing. And Eastwood was so pleased with his own acting that he was like "Perfect! Next scene!" after a single take.

I liked her speech, tbh. Sometimes it was like "...and?" or "...how exactly?" but there were some interesting ideas.
tragickingdomxo 30th-Aug-2012 04:59 am (UTC)
She's so smart and the Republicans have treated her so poorly, I can't wrap my head around why she hasn't jumped ship a thousand times already.
roguedandelion 30th-Aug-2012 05:36 am (UTC)
Here she's a special snowflake(being literate and everything), she must love attention.

thethingiswhat 30th-Aug-2012 06:42 am (UTC)
Exactly, especially considering so many of the things she talked about in her speech (education and immigration and stuff like that) are things the GOP seems so staunchly against.
hoodoo 30th-Aug-2012 05:06 am (UTC)
shes a smart lady and a great public speaker. too bad shes in the wrong party
enid_keaner 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
She's so smart and she's really accomplished. I have much respect for her. I just hate the majority of her views.
fuck_of_nature 30th-Aug-2012 05:34 am (UTC)
I like how they put the black woman and the hispanic woman back to back and both had 'Republican party isn't racist because look at me!' speeches.
roguedandelion 30th-Aug-2012 05:37 am (UTC)
It was a great speech except how she ignored her entire legacy of foreign policy- the Iraq War.

Mittens and Schuester scare the living daylights out of me. THEY ARE A TYPE OF CRAZY THAT WE CANNOT DEAL WITH. LIKE EVER.

Way to appeal to female voters.

I thought there was a show called "Mystery Guest," so I went searching for an image. But I found this instead, which is perfect for the Republican Convention:

Big shocker that the GOP's ~celeb guest speaker~ is an old white fogey, who will undoubtedly spout off about AMURRKIAH and the ever-elusive "good ol' days."

The Republicans are a parody of themselves at this point. Lawd.
thetxbelle 30th-Aug-2012 05:00 am (UTC)
This country needs a three party system because things can't stay the way they are, I feel like we're going to reach a boiling point of crazy soon.
doverz 30th-Aug-2012 05:04 am (UTC)
I would so flove to have a 3 party system. Unfortunately, I see the status quo staying around for a very long time. It will really have to take people actually getting off their asses and protesting for things to change.
chokey_lowkey 30th-Aug-2012 05:15 am (UTC)
and did you see the backlash that people got for protesting tho?
fauxparadiso 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
Who would be the third party though? The likelihood is that it would go to some Tea Party/Libertarian group.
hoodoo 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
the electorate college makes multi-party systems very difficult to function here sadly :(
like it probably have to start locally or something, but even then it would take years of slow change.
brosling 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
unfortunately i don't see the green party catching up any time soon since they don't accept donations banks or corporations

it sucks but $$$$
enid_keaner 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
MTE. I am sick of the two party system, tbqh. It is a hot mess.
starlysh 30th-Aug-2012 05:09 am (UTC)
I wish at least the Green and Libertarian parties could take part in the televised debates. People should know there are others out there. Two parties make it so much easier to be catty to each other.
toilandblood 30th-Aug-2012 01:20 pm (UTC)
Same something to give more of a balance but with just as much power.. I don't see that happening but something needs to change. It's just a mess.
rainbowren 30th-Aug-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
Ew, why am I not surprised.
gpin2084 30th-Aug-2012 05:08 am (UTC)
I am legitimately terrified if these assholes win and I'm Canadian. I shudder to think of acts of horror the GOP will spread around the world.

Peeps, the entire WORLD is jealous of the badass president you've got right now. If y'all don't want him, we'll take him tbh.

Amen to this comment. Canada will take Obama plzkthanx
roguedandelion 30th-Aug-2012 05:40 am (UTC)
Everyone should be afraid. There is no limit to the havoc the neocons could wreak when they get back into power. War with Iran would just be the start.
