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.

I know you are confused,but since you think I work for you,where is my back pay for last year? The agreement was for 100 k a year and to date I haven't received a nickel from you. And explain how a race is going Zero % for a POTUS Candidate. Since I'm not the candidate WHY do you think I am obligated to explain that? I will,though. Two words,"Black Racism".

You think this is a winning position for you? Reagan sadi he served in WWII. He got nailed for that comment. I remember vividly. It was when his Alzheimers was first showing up. Like with Clint at the RNC.....;} Reagan did not serve in WWII. Wearing a uniform and Pretend don't count. You came back with Your Idea.....Needing the Source. The Prof doesn't fill in the blanks for the student's paper......;}
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!

Clint's gag-writers needed to mine the Eastwood oeuvre for better material. Instead of traipsing down the fundamental "make my day" or "lucky punk" path, why not channel the Man with No Name and remind Mitt that, "Two-hundred-thousand-dollars a year is a lot of money. You're going to have to earn it." Clint also blew a golden opportunity to pay tribute to The Gauntlet's Ben Shockley and tip his hat to George W. Bush simply by squinting and hissing, "I didn't do jack shit."
If the ex-mayor wants to toss back a few Coor's with his buddies in Carmel, that's one thing. You want me to come out and say it, Clint? You need to be more like Marty and keep your nose out of politics! You know what you should do? Try a little more directing and a little less prop-comedy and you won't come off looking like a doddering old coot on national TV! You understand, you wacko? You're cracking up! You're paid to pretend. Stay the hell out of politics. The same goes for Clooney, Streisand, Redford, and any number of liberal celebs likely to make an un-billed cameo at the upcoming DNC. If we learned anything from Ronald Reagan, it's that acting and politics don't mix.
Sweet jesus fcuking christ I got you nailed. I left that in to see if you would use it. UUUUUH,very "clever" move on your part. Good thinking! I obviously ain't dealing with no regular fool.

1....sign up for military 2....put on uniform 3....serve in combat position. 4....get full VA. That's the book. No,it's not. Unless you are reading imaginary books in addition to talking with imaginary friends. Reagan did not do WWII. Yes,he did. The whole damn war. The problem is you are so ignorant you don't know what serving in wartime means. Or even serving and earning VA benefits,as far as that goes. The majority of vets,including the ones in VA hospitals, never spent a single minute in combat. I even worked with a 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran at the Norfolk Naval Yard back in the 80's that didn't even serve long enough to get out of basic training,yet he was retired from the army as a private. He had a heart attack in basic training and retired on a medical discharge. Served less than a month and never left South Carolina or even shot a rifle. You really are a ignorant fool.

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.

And since SP is desperate to switch subjects: "The reason I write so little about the presidential election is that it's the ultimate expression of the CNN-ization of American politics: a tawdry, uber-contrived reality show that has less to do with political reality than the average rant one hears at any randomly chosen corner bar or family dinner. That does not mean the outcome is irrelevant, only that the process is suffocatingly dumb and deceitful, generating the desire to turn away and hope that it's over as quickly as possible." Glenn Greenwald
If Earth could sing with a female voice. Her strength would be evident, though her tone might waver. Could she withhold judgment against one of her own, through all we’ve done to her, and our brethren? We lived in her bosom from which we were born for two million years not forsaking our home. Then we became something different from all we had known, and in the gasp of a breath we destroyed it all. Can you blame her for judging us, considering what we’ve done? She gave us every chance to turn it around. Now we’re all done and she’s endured our abuse, including pillage, plunder, and rape without any excuse. All she can sing in that mournful tone is sorrow for the power she unleashed, through us and thus dispassionately onto herself, destroyed by one of her own. She must ponder how our hubris overwhelmed our humility in concluding about our recent selves: They didn’t like it here.

Senator John L McClellan. That was a mistake by me. I just assumed a hospital for veterans would be named after a General instead of a politician. Now,let's talk about another mistake. One YOU keep making over and over again. From the Department of Veterans Affairs: www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/compensa tion/ What Is VA Disability Compensation? Disability compensation is a benefit paid to a veteran because of injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service. It is also paid to certain veterans disabled from VA health care. The benefits are tax-free. Who Is Eligible? You may be eligible for disability compensation if you have a service-related disability and you were discharged under other than dishonorable conditions. Tell us all where the words "combat arena" are mentioned,dipshit.

First off,it would be REALLY helpful if you would provide a link that works. Secondly,this appears to be a STATE PROGRAM specifically targeted at combat zone veterans.

If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
They are about STATE benefits given as grants to combat veterans. Which has NOTHING to do with how the Veterans Administration works,or how benefits are paid to veterans or what benefits are given to what veterans. The FACT is that a PEACETIME veteran that was permanently injured in a car accident off-base in any state in the union can be granted up to 100 percent disability from the accident,and receive the SAME benefits in pay and care that a combat veteran in wartime gets from being 100 percent disabled. That IS the law.
