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.

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. This is NOT a Veterans Administration program,and even then it says the different counties have their own requriements. Your problem is you confuse insanity with fact.

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.

Why ask me? YOU are the one that brought his up. What I KNOW is that the Veterans Administration has no such designation. The VA DOES distinguish between service-connected claims and non-service- connected claims,though. Vets get paid compensation for and give free medical treatment for service-connected injuries or illnesses,and people with non- service-connected illnesses or injuries don't receive free medical treatment. Yes,they are treated at VA Hospitals,but the VA sends their insurance company or Medicaid the bill. AND.....here is the important part,so pay attention,....a veteran can have a service-connected illness or injury that never heard a shot fired and got injured or sick while at the 2 week summer training camp for reserve or national guard troops. It only matters that you were on active duty at the time,NOT where you were.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
I'm in the VA system and I'm here to tell you it is underfunded and overwhelmed. It is just going to get worse with the vets coming back, way way worse if Willard gets into the WH and turns the neocon lice on his coat tails lose on the world with our war machine.
Says the mole that is going to vote for Obama.
You going to vote for Mittens? I'm thinking about sitting out this election - it is that bad.
Of course. He isn't the ideal candidate but he can hopefully do some good for the economy. You have to admit that Obama has been a terrible President. The debt needs to be cut and maybe Romney can do that. That would at least help a little bit. I think Romney was raised here and loves this country. Even if you think Obama was born here his formative years were in foreign countries. He doesn't think like a typical American and I honestly think he is hostile towards us.
Us being? I know many who share your point of view.
Americans. Why doesn't he want to have the pipeline that can give us jobs? Why didn't he keep his word on scaling back NAFTA? It seems most everything he does hurts our people.
And you think you do? That's a laugh.
Shoot man, that's an understatement.
;} Ratrioning of health care is the only way. When the DoD has to actually start taking care of the 'detritus' of war and cleaning up it's own mess, then War comes to an end. Noting how Reporting PTSD and Rape are completely frowned upon by the military.
