I’ll admit I thought it was strange, but I also loved seeing him call out the Kenyan and telling him his time was up and he had to go.

Overall, I think the positives of the speech FAR outweighed its weird aspects.

Funny thing about "weird", it is usually more memorable than "normal". If Clint Eastwood had given a nice normal speech moving his eyes back and forth between functioning teleprompter screens following the lines written for him by some speech writing drone no one would have given him a second glance. Polite applause, a few chuckles at some lame joke lines, and a few tears for a cinema icon living on the backside of 80.

Instead he created an unforgettable metaphor for the entirety of the Obama presidency and struck a nerve that made every Liberal in America wince in pain and outrage. All with a smile and in the halting cadence of a wise elder best known for sending bad guys to their reward with a hand cannon and most recently for shooing low lifes off his lawn with an M1 rifle.

And you just know that they (or at least the designated "Intellect of the Democratic Party") won't be able to resist the temptation to mention his performance in the most disparaging terms possible at this week's convention, thus reinforcing the image countless times.
