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.

your american education is showing :P
Personally, I think our crazies are more crazy than those in some countries and less crazy than those in other countries. Having crazier people in some other countries doesn't make me feel any better though, because I don't live in those countries and I'm far more concerned about the crazy here.
Plus, I think it is a pretty valid point that when we elect crazy, it tends to affect others in the world more than them electing crazy (unless they are some spectacularly batshit brand of crazy).

Yes, and I had that kind of an opinion too. And what was your response? To tell me to take a valium. Look at you living in a proverbial glass house and throwing those stones.
