Title: LEFTY: "Clint Eastwood Loses His Mind In Front Of RNC Crowd "[VIDEO]

Clint Eastwood's heart may have been in the right place, when he accepted the invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention, Thursday (Aug. 30), but his mind was clearly somewhere else. Possibly at home with his daughters telling a story about "the good old days," because from the sounds of it, that's exactly what he thought he was doing.

Rather than firing up the crowd for Mitt Romney's acceptance speech, Eastwood confused and amused all while his chair (holding an invisible President Obama) taunted him in the distance.

 

The 82-year-old stopped in the middle of his speech several times, and turned to hold an intimate conversation with the chair, eliciting more nervous laughter from the audience. At one point, he slammed Obama for being a lawyer, apparently forgetting that Romney also went to Harvard Law School.

"I never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be presidents anyway. I think it's maybe time for, maybe a uh, business man, how about that? A stellar business man. Quote on quote 'a stellar businessman,'" Eastwood rambled.

Although he was met with cheers (again, from utter confusion), veteran news anchor Brian Williams was powerless against the looming awkwardness and broke into a short but heartfelt chuckle just before offering commentary on the speech. "I'm reminded that he starred in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and I think people will find parts of all three to  talk about," Williams said.

After that speech one thing is clear: Mr. Eastwood has no idea where he is, or what's going on in America.

Also, he looked pretty sleepy.

"After that speech one thing is clear: Mr. Eastwood has no idea where he is, or what's going on in America. Also, he looked pretty sleepy."

There's a big difference in critisizing this mans life, and living it yourself. Lets see you muster over 60yrs of movie and tv entertainment under your belt, and mayor of a city...then, if you live that long, at 82yrs, stand before millions in this world, and give a perfect, flawless speech that everyones going to love...try it, then talk! PISHER!

Clint Eastwood RNC Full Speech 2012, Talks To Invisible Obama

It's a lot better when you watch the whole thing, and not an edited version that tries to make an American icon look bad.

Good advise that he gives, to not vote for someone that you don't really like. I won't be voting for either Willard or Obama. Thanks Clint!

What no one mentioned was the Cutthroat GEsture.

Thinking of Rodney King now and how opposite the two are:

One calms.

The Other incites.

You're correct...first I've heard it, right here and now.

You never get the real reason for why people were amazed.

Just like when the USSA loses it on the battlefield.

ALWAYS minimizing the damage....as long as the Power still sits.

Please describe this cutthroat gesture for me. I didn't see the Eastwood soliloquy.

What Clint should've said:

"A man's got to know his limitations."

Just like Reagan thought he served in WWII.....;}

In what capacity? I recall he was a captain and was involved in filming/training films? I'm not begrudging his service just trying to remember what he did.

Making movies in Hollywood don't count.

Just like John Wayne.

And the implication from Reagan in context was that he did something like Guadalcanal.

Here's the Sine Quo Non:

Would he have qualified for Full VA benefits?

I'm not so sure all of them were made in Hollywood. Some may have been made in England.

Not that it matters. What matters is he volunteered to serve in the army,put on a uniform,and did what he was told to do.

Which is more than YOU have ever done.

Just like John Wayne.

Not even remotely like John Wayne. John Wayne was a punk and a poser that owed his whole career to being 4F so he couldn't get drafted,and thus being available to play movie roles that would have gone to other actors if they hadn't been wearing uniforms. People like Clark Gable who volunteered and flew a bunch of combat missions as a bomber pilot over Germany. Which was probably the most dangerous job in the US Army during WW-2.

And the implication from Reagan in context was that he did something like Guadalcanal.

An outright LIE. Reagan was VERY public about only making training films during WW-2.

Here's the Sine Quo Non:

Would he have qualified for Full VA benefits?

Yes. He WAS qualified to receive the same VA benefits as any other serving soldier if he had suffered any sort of disabling injury while doing his duty as a officer in the Army.

He didn't do this part-time. His full-time job was as a Army officer assigned to a training command.

He was a great American and he loved this country. He didn't like commies like Obama.

He didn't like no queer marriage either. I suspcet that is why you call him a punk.

You are jealous of him.

Sure,he just didn't love America enough to put HIS ass on the line.

He didn't like commies like Obama.

He just didn't dislike them enough to put on a uniform to fight them. He MUCH preferred the Hollywood fights,where the bullets were all blanks and the fights all staged.

You are jealous of him.

ROFLMAO!

Good one!

John wayne was in this 30's when wwII started. That isn't the usual enlistment age.

That's true,but it is also true he was still of draft age,and dodged the draft by claiming a old college football injury that never seemed to bother him at any other time.

It is also true that other actors his age and even older were volunteering for active duty status as bomber pilots,and in a couple of cases as armor officers in front line tank units.
