Clint Eastwood will be speaking at the Republican Convention in Tampa on Thursday according to Fox News. The network’s website is reporting that a GOP source confirmed “that Eastwood is indeed the mystery speaker”. Thursday night’s line-up has a “To Be Announced” speaker scheduled ahead of Senator Marco Rubio and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney himself. Eastwood’s name was floated earlier this week as the speaker along with former VP nominee Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and even a hologram of former President Ronald Reagan. No stranger to politics, Eastwood served as the Mayor of Carmel, California from 1986 to 1988. He supported John McCain in 2008 and endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this month at a Sun Valley fundraiser. “Now more than ever do we need Mitt Romney, I’m going to be voting for him,” the Oscar winner said as the GOP nominee stood next to him on August 4. If Eastwood is really heading to Tampa to speak Thursday evening, he’s going to have to get going soon. Deadline has learned that as of Wednesday afternoon, the actor/director was still at his home in Carmel. Eastwood’s latest film, Trouble With The Curve comes out on September 21, 2012.

Doesn't anyone know about Eastwood's personal war on women?
Illegitimate children (3 or so), various mothers, and poor Sondra Locke with 2 abortions?
Maybe he is a double agent sent by Hollywood.
And Lee Marvin as "Partner" was a hoot. Fun movie !!!
I was going for Jon Lovitz, but, hey, I'm a half bubble off level so what do I know !
Clint Eastwood is a person first. He is an actor. I don’t know what you do, but I bet you would hate to have people diss who you are as a person based on your profession only.
Actors, who count and see themselves as individuals, have a life outside their career. At least, the smart ones do.
He would probably respect your opinion. Perhaps you could reciprocate! This means he cares about the country and pays attention.
Perhaps an overlooked fact: Clint spent some time working in Washington state saw mills.
If you recall, Paul Newman was often seen drinking Coors beer in his films. Clint’s response? He often had an Olympia (”Oly”) beer sign in any bar scene. (brewed in Olympia WA)
Mind you, both beers are like having sex in a canoe*(IMHO), but I’m just sayin’
(* F’n near water)
We have a lot of squeeky, loose floor boards for similar reasons in the llevrok abode.
Sounds like you have issues that need to be dealt with.
Awesome!
LOL! Thank you for that!
BADA$$!!!!
When is Eastwood supposed to speak?
If the networks would have carried all the personal stories from everyday people and small business owners that Romney helped, he’d win in a landslide. Very inspirational stories. They convinced me!
This isn’t going to go well. I can see the headlines now:
“Senile old white man talks to empty chair.”
This isn’t going to go well. I can see the headlines now:
“Senile, stuttering, racist old white man talks to empty chair.”
Yea, hes a little crusty.
When someone doesn’t do the job, WE got to let them go..
And it starts. The Madcow just said his speech were the incoherent ramblings of someone with alzheimers.
Pretty sharp move there!
Love Eastwood, but having him speak was a mistake. Sure, he got some laughs, but the media will have a field day with his performance. He will be ridiculed to no end by the likes of Maher, Letterman, and Conan.
Happens every day in Nursing Homes around the Country. LOL
Madcow insults Eastwood and she would turn Straight if Slow Joe, the intellect of the Democrat Party BTW, asked her to.
Conan FTW
