Maybe a bit too down to earth. I don’t know, I felt sorry for him up there to see him age like that. Sometimes a teleprompter can be your friend.
It was good of him to come, but it felt out of place coming before Rubio’s and Mitt’s stirring speeches. Both of them did a great job, and did you notice Romney knew every word and verse of America the Beautiful ?
“Sometimes a teleprompter can be your friend.”
He had a teleprompter, but it froze on the first page. He had to wing it from there, but I thought his takeoff on Jimmy Stewart’s “Harvey” was ingenious.
I also thought it was a subtle mocking of obama who actually DOES talk like that when he’s trying to speak extemporaneously.
Whatever the case, Clint Eastwood is a GREAT AMERICAN and I love him to death. People who are mocking him today do not have a sliver of couth in their entire bodies.
Those who have never seen “Harvey” should enrich their existence by making a special effort to rent it and watch it because it’s a ckassic for all ages. My little one swears she can see Harvey, a six foot white rabbit, Elwood P. Dowd’s best friend, and you know what? Sometimes I think she actually can. She still has her imagination and innocence and I have never dissuaded her from it. ‘Grownups’ should be so lucky.
