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.
"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!
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.
Right now, I'm trying to get you to Source your info, which I doubt.
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?
Wearing a uniform and Pretend don't count. How would YOU know?
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.

Yes....Yes I do.....;}
But enough about me.
Deny that Combat Arena and Full VA Benefits are neither here nor there.
COMBAT ARENA key words.....;}
Ok,I deny it.
You are either lying or a ignorant fool for stating your claims. I will allow you to choose.
You are obviously a liar when you claim military experience.
Here is a tip for you. Blowing sailors doesn't count as military experience.
"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."
