Clint Eastwood Speaks at the RNC



Clint Eastwood whipped up the crowd at the Republican National Convention ahead of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's acceptance speech.

The iconic star of "Dirty Harry" and the Oscar-winning director of "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby," Eastwood criticized President Barack Obama for failing to turn the economy around and for wanting to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects.

Eastwood says Obama has failed to deliver on his promises and it's time for Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to take over.

He entertained the audience with a mock interview with Obama, posing questions and pretending that Obama had told Eastwood to shut up.

Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month at a campaign event in Sun Valley, Idaho.

You'd think with all of his money and acting experience, it would have been a bit more coherent.

Watching this made me feel like I do when I'm trying to understand whether crazy old men are talking to me because they need help crossing the street or because they're trying to pretend they can still get some.

They couldn't even find somebody to comb ole Clint's hair! That cowlick is just sad.

Where are his Republican friends to help him out with that situation?

That woulda never happened at the DNC. We help people out. :)

IDEK.

I don't understand how that happened.

But I've noticed that Republicans blame Obama for everything. The economy sucks? It's Obama's fault. It's raining outside? It's Obama's fault.

sassandthecity 31st-Aug-2012 02:48 am (UTC)
I think I literally heard her ripping up a bunch of paper when they cut to her, like she had to toss out whatever she was planning to say because it was just so cray cray.
stuckmodebabe 31st-Aug-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
She was so flabbergasted, it was a great representation of what most of the world was thinking.
enchantedkiss_x 31st-Aug-2012 03:53 am (UTC)

"..critised Obama .. for wanting to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects."

people criticise Obama for the strangest things.

backincharge 31st-Aug-2012 02:43 am (UTC)
oh god, this whole thing was just incredible (and not in the good way)

At this point I'm convinced Obama sent Clint to embarrass the republicans. That had to be the reason.
dancedallnight 31st-Aug-2012 02:50 am (UTC)
i just don't get how there wasn't someone who was like, look this is a fucking terrible idea, TRUST ME
sensualcoco 31st-Aug-2012 03:53 am (UTC)
they don't need help to embarrass themselves
formal_affair 31st-Aug-2012 02:43 am (UTC)
Hilarious and disgusting at the same time.
oh7 31st-Aug-2012 02:43 am (UTC)
I didn't get some of it, he kinda stumbled over a lot. I found it interesting that they had a picture of him in character holding a gun as a backdrop with America's recent influx of White men shooting up public areas.
enid_keaner 31st-Aug-2012 02:52 am (UTC)
It's never a problem when white dudes have access to guns and shoot up places. Just when it's people with some color to them.
lalameanslove 31st-Aug-2012 03:02 am (UTC)
mte. then of course we are urban 'thugs' and 'gangsters'

smh
stellar_ball 31st-Aug-2012 02:52 am (UTC)
Ugh, I can't even with shootings. It's sickening hearing about shootings so often on national news but then I watch the local news and it's a daily occurrence. All I can think about is my dumb ass cousin-in-law and am surprised I haven't seen him on the news. That part of the family is the definition of trashy, ignorant, stupid people. Anywho...sorry to tackle your comment.
stelarjesss 31st-Aug-2012 03:50 am (UTC)
good point.
give_mespace 31st-Aug-2012 03:58 pm (UTC)

THIS. WTF AGRESSIVE
