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.

Changing the subject,pig shit? What does Iraq and the retards that populate that shithole have to do with veterans benefits?

That's the name of a VA hospital and a Civil War General,not somebody you are quoting. And per Korean Combat Vet.....;} WHAT "Korean War Combat vet"? Do you have any idea how stupid you look trying to argue with me on this subject? I have been going to VA hospitals since 1970. Just how big could your brain fart be that it makes you think you know more about this subject than I do?

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Made a mistake: It's Senator John L McClellan. And I'm not quoting. And you're Not Sourcing. Limited VA Benefits with Zero Combat Arena Time. Ronald Reagan Scofflaw......;} You realize that you have no clue as to your MIC.
OK, fuck Stick, Now you've gone and done it. Typical Violence as you've run out of arguements on your St Ronnie.....;} Reagan on IRan/Contra: "I don't know." LMFAO.
Deny that Combat Arena and Full VA Benefits are neither here nor there. COMBAT ARENA key words.....;} Ok,I deny it. Oxymoron: Military Intelligence
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.

Plus 45 percent of returning vets are putting in for VA benefits.
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.
Because You're the one defending the State's position. Soem of us are just more equal than others, eh......;}
WTF? So what I'm saying on inequality of Health Care for VA is True. Thanx. And you're delusional in your support of VA Inequality....;}
You have been watching too many reruns of JAG. PTSD claims are the reason the VA claims are skyrocketing. Why? Because the fluffie left has been demanding the DoD and VA treat PTSD the same as loosing an arm or leg. The DoD and VA are so scared of the left that all a Troop needs to do is say he is having problems and they get the claim.
"Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.) Psalm 139:16
Of course. Look up the differences in definitions between the words "earned" and "unearned". Don't bother looking in your old Soviet dictionary. Maybe your therapist should be the one that explains this to you,but I'm going to give it a shot anyhow. People are NOT all equal. The jobs people work are not of equal value to society. The efforts and risks that people take to help preserve this country were not equal efforts and risks,and the people who put forth more effort and took more risks are deserving of more rewards. Here is another shocker for you,comrade. When you hear the phrase "We are all created equal...",this means in the eye of the law",not when it comes to personal worth or ability. There are good reasons Pee Wee Herman doesn't play for the NBA or the NFL,and they have nothing to do with him being white.

No,but I no longer expect you and reality to ever be in the same room at the same time,so don't worry about it.

I speak from experiencing 4 combat tours in that region. PTSD IS a wound but the numbers claiming the wound are far too many to be credible. Like all wounds some deal with them better than others. Many are seeing the financial benefits of claiming something they are adequately dealing with. There are others who need more help that don't ask for it. Those are the ones that should be considered for disability.
