Eastwood Says He Balked at Sharing Speech With Romney Campaign
Source: New York Times
Clint Eastwood said the idea for the most controversial convention speech in a generation came to him the green room, just after he greeted Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, the country’s most influential Roman Catholic bishop.
“There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down,” Mr. Eastwood said. “When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I’ll just put the stool out there, and I’ll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn’t keep all of the promises he made to everybody.”

Mr. Eastwood said that the Romney campaign had asked for details about what he would say, but that he balked at the notion of divulging too much or rehearsing his speech.
“They vet most of the people, but I told them, ‘You can’t do that with me, because I don’t know what I’m going to say,’” Mr. Eastwood told The Pine Cone.

thanks for articulating it so well
!!!!
it's called, "I'm not here".
Good luck with that, Clint.
came to you just after you greeted Timothy Dolan?
Ok, just wanted to make sure I got that right.
OMG, you can't make this stuff up.
That whole thing was a sad mess. 
When I see a stool, it usually gives me the idea that I need to take a shit. 
Looks like it gave Clint the same idea!
