"If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get," -Clint Eastwood

Merry Christmas!

.......for us.

for us...

As a Clint Eastwood movie fan though, I still cringe at what he has done to himself and his legacy. 'Hard to look at him now as anything other than a rather pathetic and clearly somewhat senile man. I used to just look upon him as an "old school" Repub and could accept that, but now... he's just pathetic

He must have stepped up on to the stage and thought he was doing a remake of "Every Which Way But Loose (1978)".

That's the only thing I can think of.

Talk about someone forgetting where they are at. Whew!

Don

will always be Dirty Harry.

Yeah, "old school" Republican - the kind who started the new drug war under Nixon and ran COINTELPRO on the lefties, perhaps.

As the Republicans have continued their downward ethical, moral, and spiritual spiral into the diaper-laden cesspool of human debasement, it was inevitable that they would infest the airwaves of America with this ugly moment. Just one instant, however, in a pathetic 30-year decline marked by their freakish antipathy to America and America's best & noblest values.

Fortunately, Mr. Obama beat both of them.

until Clint later explained what it was all about. Up until that point I thought it was a piece of performance art.

Heading to Tampa and finding and stealing that chair. Which I would then take to Las Vegas to try and sell it to the Pawn Star guys.

Could it be found? I'm sure it was part of the equipment used at the place they had their convention so that could mean hundreds more just like it.

It talks.

Badoom-tooshh!

I'm here all week , try the veal and dont forget to tip your waitstaff .

Everyone laughed and it worked out well for our side.

Best advice he ever got from the DNC

...of running stools on their ticket ant time soon.

Mitt didn't want to be president

I'm so pleased he was chosen!

Mitt himself was always the problem. Plus Obama pretty much defined the messaging, despite the best efforts of the media to flip the election over the alleged first debate disaster. An election about tax policy fairness featuring a filthy rich arrogant asshole who refused to release his tax returns.

Odd in that mitt was the personification of the empty suit stereotype.

That's about it.

The Republicans' biggest mistake was not pulling Mitt in back in...oh, 2009...and offering him Ambassador to France if he'd stay out of the race. Then they could have run either a successful governor or a successful businessman (by 'successful businessman' I mean a person whose deals didn't lose money half the time) and maybe won the election. We didn't even have to run against Romney - his primary challengers did that for us.

It wasn't the reason Mitt lost.

The republican tea libertarians have no voters. That is the reason they lost both in 2012 and 2016 to Hillary.

The reason the Democrats voted for Obama is because they like President Obama
and the core voters weren't even listening to any republican trype.

Which is the same will happen in 2016 and Hillary
Same not enough voters on the other side for her
Millions like her on our side.

In the year of Lincoln and Daniel Day Lewis though it does show something interesting

It shows that Eastwood, going against an idiot with a gun in all his movies as Dirty Harry,
found the truth by the time of Gran Torino or Unforgiven to being anti-gun, anti-NRA

Maybe Clint was a democrat after all.

so he made a fool out of himself on national television.
