Eastwood's act caught GOP off guard
SF Gate ^ | 09/02/12 | Willie Brown

Posted on 09/02/2012 4:55:41 PM PDT by DFG

As for the Democratic National Convention, it will be the first one I skip since 1960.

Let's be honest: It has no mystery, no fights, and it's in Charlotte, N.C., which is about as far off the beaten path - or easy airplane connections - as you can get.

And when you get there, there is no shopping. The only thing to buy is bootleg booze.

I so don’t care what Willie Brown thinks about any Republican. Actually, nothing that he thinks is worthy of note.

Isn’t he the basis for the Mr. Hanky character on South Park?

The fact that he’s skipping the hussein fest speaks volumes. Conventions are places where pols go to be seen. He doesn’t want to be seen.

(Author) And when you get there, there is no shopping. The only thing to buy is bootleg booze.

Oh, so the former pimp-lawyer and grafter, who had dozens of Armani suits in a walk-in closet that he bought on his $30,000/year salary as speaker of the California house of representatives, is a cultchah-vultchah and a snob now? So when did you go off drinking bootleg liquor, Willie?

Come on, Willie -- square up with us. Tell us you hate crackers, you hate Tarheel, and you won't go there until the brothers kill the last cracka MF in the State, and make it safe for bright new tomorrows, etc., etc.

He's actually dumping spleen on Tarheel to disguise the fact that, as our FRiends point out, it's really Bozo he's avoiding.

His skit hit a nerve with the Libs/Lefties/MSM, too, because they are still talking/writing/reporting about it.

Traitor-spawn Mark Halperin of TIME magazine, son of Morton Halperin the Traitor, twice in one evening called Eastwood's speech "a Bayonne dinner-club routine". He went out of his way to show his venom both on Gwen Ifill's PBS convention show and Charlie Rose's show only minutes later.

Yeah, Clint hit a nerve.

Halperin and shower-buddy John Heilemann of The New Yorker went on and on, on Charlie Rose, about how the MSM was going to slice, dice, garble, and counterfeit Clint's critique -- that the GOP message would not get out. (They had to be pretty pissed to admit it!) But now the vid has gone viral, and they're all screwed. Between Clint and Dinesh D'Souza, Barky gots a lot of 'splainin' to do. </Ricky Ricardo>

Every once in awhile, Willie goes way off the reservation. It’s interesting when he does, kind of a “nobody asked me...” Jimmy Cannon column.

Weak excuse. Charlotte is a hub for US Air.
