HOORAY Ed! HOORAY Clint!
Scott Walker was born in ‘67, it was probably a little over his head. He was barely an indecent thought during the spaghetti westerns, was making mudpies during Dirty Harry, and was a 9 year old for Josey Wales.
Freakin’ kids, should be seen and not heard sometmes.
Well, the polls are showing it. A canvas of Florida voters showed he improved independent turnovers to the GOP by 10%. That was on an earlier thread this morning.
It was a brilliant, staged performance.
The Dem "talking heads" and surrogates just can't bring themselves to acknowledge that the entire world "got" Eastwood's message loud and clear--and they have nowhere to hide.
Agree, too, with Applegateranch's comments on another thread about the genius of Eastwood's use of his object's own "egregious speech pattern," commonly referred to by pseudointellectual "progressives" as a sign of Obama's great intellect and deliberative style. Now, Eastwood's use of it, with "progressives" (an entire set of "empty chairs" when it comes to understanding and defending the ideas of freedom), such a "deliberate" and halting style denotes everything from senility to "doddering fool."
Another gem was his use of a former President's assessment of Romney's "stellar business performance" in this total unmasking of the great destroyer of business in America. Bet Hillary, the eye-rolling "You know what I mean" Hillary, got it too, from wherever she was watching.
From Geraldo Rivera on FOX to Gloria Borger on CNN, the faux criticism and claims that Eastwood distracted from the Romney speech and Borger's claim that parts were "crass" are laughable when compared with much of the Dem performer language and inferences.
This was a priceless and iconic performance which will live on, long after Eastwood is gone, and Obama is a distant memory in the rearview mirror of presidents.
scott walker needs to brush up on the classics.
I was able to see the Clint Eastwood special, plus Marco Rubio and Mitt Rommey speeches! They were all excellent!
I think voters have got the message: “Both parties must focus getting the job done!
Politics, nor politicians, nor speeches, nor titles etc. count!
What our nation really needs is: “JUST GETTING THE JOB DONE”
I was glad it was something an artist did, and not some stodgy serious straight guy speech. It was like he was some guy cutting up in your living room.
And i almost passed out laughing when he came out with that, “well he can’t do that to himself”,,,,”you sound crazy” schtik.
Agree. Walker's a bit young, a bit too quick to respond -- he should've held back on this one.
At first I found Eastwood's performance "cringe"-worthy too. But after thinking about it overnight, I did a 180.
"Getting" the brilliance of Clint's performance is kind of like "getting" new and odd-sounding music. Sometimes it takes a few listenings before the new musical patterns start to register in your mind -- and then you fall in love with them, and can't get enough.
It wasn't. All planned, down to the last detail, even the MUSSED UP HAIR.
Good post!
Governor Walker should understand, that there are times when one should keep their opinions to themselves.
I think the empty chair representing Obama in a discussion with Eastwood was the surprise guest, NOT Eastwood.
Everyone missed the joke!
I'm just surprised at the number of Republicans that can't make the connection.

I don’t know. I like Eastwood on the screen or at a piano, and he wasn’t outrageous Thursday night; but I doubt that he lit up the crowd any better than Sarah would have. Criminally myopic bots.
