Clint is one of my all-time favorite actors, and a genius producer/director. But, not all actors are polished speakers.
The smooth and dramatic lines in his movies, are memorized scripts, usually heard only by the camera crew.
Even the 15 years when I was in radio, I ran a four hour show every day, but the few times I had to speak before crowds, I was petrified. It’s a who, different thing.
I try to see the hilarious point that Clint was making, and no concentrate on the poise, diction, and delivery.
His star-power was enough, and his routine with the chair was hilarious.
The mere fact that the obamanoids are railing over it, shows that he hit a nerve...after all, the show-biz folks are supposed to belong to them, right?
I love him in Rawhide, which I watch daily on Encore Westerns,but I must admit Eric Fleming was much hotter than the young Eastwood.
