Just how wrong did the media get Clint Eastwood?

Admittedly, I am late to evaluating Clint Eastwoods RNC performance. However, the fact that the pundit class is still critiquing it days later is one indicator of how shrewd it was as political theater. Accordingly, it is worth noting just how wrong some of the Eastwood analysis has been, even from those defending the speech.
The harsh, conventional wisdom about Eastwoods decidedly unconventional approach to the convention is that it was the ramblings of a senile old man. Even may of Eastwoods defenders have described it as rambling. This likely makes Eastwoods day.
After all, who is Clint Eastwood? He is one of the top actors, directors and producers of motion pictures in the world. Most of the world and almost certainly everyone tuning in to the RNC Thursday night knows this. Yet most of the analyses of his RNC appearance are based on the notion that we were not witnessing acting. That mass suspension of disbelief may be the highest tribute Eastwood will ever be paid as an actor. If you think the Eastwood on stage was the only Eastwood there is, watch him promoting J. Edgar on The Daily Show last November. I have little doubt he will be equally sharp promoting Trouble With the Curve in the next few weeks.
Moreover, as a director, Eastwood has a reputation of knowing exactly what he wants. Also, he does not prefer to do many takes: The big question, for me, is how to do it *** so the actors can perform at their very best and with the spontaneity that youd like to find so that the audience will feel like those lines have been said for the very first time, ever. Then youve got a believable scene. That approach is entirely consistent with Eastwoods talent as a jazz pianist, someone who enjoys improvising within a framework. The fact that Eastwoods performance was not loaded into a teleprompter does not mean it was unplanned.
If you doubt that Eastwood was not simply winging it, dont watch his performance read the transcript. There may be no better indicator of just how intentional Eastwoods performance is than to compare the visual impression he gave with the text delivered.
Eastwood begins with a touch of Admiral James Stockdale, but Clint answers the question of why he is there. The fact is that everyone really knows why Clint is there to make a political statement. But Eastwood, in mentioning that Hollywood is perhaps not as monolithic as the stereotype suggests, is making a subtle suggestion to the audience he wants to reach: you may be part of some left-identifying group, but its okay to disagree and there may be other quiet dissenters in your group.
Eastwood then introduces the dramatic device of the empty chair, which in this context also echoes the political metaphor of the empty suit. This has been remarked upon, particularly as an echo of comedic dialogs from people like Bob Newhart, so I wont dwell on it here, although it reappears below.
Eastwood then proceeds to use this comedic device to deliver as Mark Steyn noted in passing some of the toughest political attacks on President Obama heard during the entire RNC. A number of the traditional speakers strove to play on swing voters disenchantment with the failed promises of Hope and Change. But notice how tired and traditional that just sounded in your head. Mitt Romney (likely with help from a professional political speechwriter) did it pretty well: You know theres something wrong with the kind of job hes done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him. But did anyone do it as powerfully and emotionally as Eastwoods segue from everyone himself included crying with joy at Obamas historic victory to the tears we now shed over 23 million still unemployed, which Clint bluntly called a national disgrace?
This was the first part of Eastwoods simple and effective argument. Eastwood points out in a prodding, joking manner that Obama was elected to bring peace and prosperity, but failed to bring either. That Eastwood may disagree with the GOP on some war issues is perfectly alright in this context, because, as suggested earlier and explored further below, Eastwood is not really targeting Republicans.
Eastwood then arrives at his Joe Biden joke: Of course we all know Biden is the intellect of the Democratic party. Just kind of a grin with a body behind it. That last part is not accidental in a performance featuring an empty chair. But the first part is even more dangerous. For the last 3+ years, we have been accustomed to having Biden as safe material for humor, while Obama has been kept off-limits. Eastwood leverages the latter into the former, suggesting that Sheriff Joe is the real brains of the operation. Ouch! No wonder Team Obama got annoyed enough to respond.
Having delivered these punches regarding our dire situation with velvet gloves, Eastwood then does the softest of sells for the Romney/Ryan ticket. As Jesse Walker noted, it was almost more of a pitch for Not Obama. Again, there was nothing accidental about the nature or placement of this speech within Clints imagined dialogue.
Eastwood concludes by summing up the GOP case to undecideds and rebutting the main point Dems seem to advance for Obama. First, [p]oliticians are employees of ours
And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let em go. Second, we dont have to be metal [sic] masochists and vote for somebody that we dont really even want in office just because they seem to be nice guys or maybe not so nice guys if you look at some of the recent ads going out there.
Eastwood was not rambling. He improvised within a structure, making a clear and concise case for dumping Obama.
Eastwoods approach to this performance was not accidental. Eastwood is by reason of his resume the foremost expert in the world on Clint Eastwood fans. Harry Callahan may have understood that a man has to know his limitations. Eastwood knows his
and he also knows his strengths. A man does not produce and star in dozens of Clint Eastwood movies without having thought deeply about and received the benefit of copious market research into what appeals to people about Clint Eastwood.
From the standpoint of political science, it would be fair to hypothesize that appeals to both disaffected and libertarian voters (which is something of a feat) in a way that Mitt Romney could never hope to do. More colloquially, it would be fair to suggest that Eastwood appeals to the sort of people who gravitated to H. Ross Perot in the Nineties. He appeals to people who distrust institutions, who think that conventional politics fails the American people. The sort of people for whom Harry Callahan, Will Munny, Frank Horrigan, Luther Whitney and Walt Kowalski have an emotional resonance.
So why would Eastwood deliver a conventional political speech? Had he delivered his material as a series of slick-sounding zingers, it would have been the sort of speech the media expected from Chris Christies keynote address. But that would have been: (a) not in keeping with the Romney campaigns softer approach; and (b) diminishing and disappointing to Eastwoods target audience. Most of the chattering class failed to grasp this. Some on Team Romney failed to grasp this. But the evidence coming in, both anecdotally and from polling, suggests Eastwood still has his finger on the popular pulse in a way pols and pundits never will.

It was
the "Left" that bombed!
Call it "THE EMPTY CHAIR CONVENTION."
Rick Klein, Senior Washington Editor ABC News, just tweeted this photo of the stage the Democrat convention will be held on.
... Klein's photo reveals screens that serve as television backdrop behind whomever's speaking -- and ... Democrats intend to show an artificial sea of faces in order to make the convention hall look a whole lot fuller than it might be.
...Look closely, they have three tiers of adoring, enraptured Obama-worshippers at the ready should they need them.
There's talk and concern amongst Democrats and their Media Palace Guards that ... President Obama might not be able to fill the stadium. There's reports that Democrat operatives have been reduced to handing out free tickets to the event at bars -- in a frantic last minute attempt to fill seats.
... Long before Clint Eastwood forever branded Obama an "empty chair," the President's been plagued by ... no longer being able to pack a house. ...
...Team Obama's been forced to save face and not risk a repeat of that calamity with the hilarious spin that President Greek Columns has now chosen to campaign before smaller, more intimate crowds.
... Thankfully Obama need not worry about filling his convention hall. We live in a magic age of illusion, one manufactured by Democrats and their media allies who constantly tell us a failed president currently sitting with an approval rating of 43% is still popular.
... If the people won't come to see The One, The One will simply ... manufacture his own adoring multitudes.

I lost it at the F-yourself jokes, and still crack-up on the replays. The audacity to put those words into Obies mouth, when we know damn well that is EXACTLY what he’s thinking about Mitt still kills me._________________________________________________________
Those two jokes were like an ice pick sliding between the ribs of Obama’s “Nice Guy” image. Poking through and starting the deflation of the lungs of “He’s a Nice Guy” with little pain, but the damage just keeps building until the collapse
Those subtle lines got across what a small petulant man Obama is better than any picture could. (And yes, I know there are a lot of pictures of angry Obama.)

I remain convinced that, if viewed through the eyes of an artistic director, Eastwood made a fabulous point with his presentation.
Everything about Eastwood's performance mirrored Obama's presidency; lots of hype and buildup, real excitement at a new and different approach, public adoration at the start followed with some really nervous laughter as nothing he tried seemed to work. Yet, he plowed ahead doing more of the same until people began to think it wasn't working, finally seeming to be relieved once he was gone.
I have posited this view to several friends who don't thinkEastwood is that smart, but I fully believe that he knew exactly what he was doing. He was mirroring Obama's time as president, making sure we all knew that it was OK to let him go.
