Clint could have had his pick of leading ladies but he always went with these washed-out blond types. Sondra Locke, Frances Fisher (although I think she may have been washed-out red). Never understood his taste in leading ladies and girlfriends.

Amen!

And, if I may add, helped Romney with the women's' vote as well - at least the baby boomer women.

Anybody know what younger women think of Clint?

I think we can trust Romney to NOT leak state secrets.

Let's face it, Romney simply must be a brilliant tactician. I'm beginning to like him.

-——These lefty “talking heads” are either ultra-stupid or ultra-dishonest. They can’t be anything else. ———

Actually there is one other common motivation....... pure unadulterated fear. The Clint piece showed all that the Emperor has no clothes. The Obama myth is really nothingness.

The reaction to fear is panic. We will now be able to watch the panic as it unfolds and the Democrat house disassembles

I have friends older than him who do have a characteristic quaver and tremor and who really do forget what they are saying in the middle of a sentence

I'm four years older than Mr. Eastwood and it was immediately obvious to me what he was doing. I judged the skit to be both hilarious and hard hitting.

Then I heard the critics start to howl and thought Clint really got to them.

The man is a Genius Director and Actor. He knew precisely what he was doing. And though he is still young (by my standards),I heartily applaud him!

:sigh: It seems nobody — not even the wizened film critic Roger Ebert — recognized Eastwood’s performance for what it was: a brilliant parody of a classic Jimmy Stewart character, Elwood P. Dowd, from the movie “Harvey.”

It’s a great movie, by the way. Rent it.

Exactly...Eastwood's performance went right over the heads of the majority who saw it...'Harvey' was the first thing I thought of when I saw Clint talking to 'invisible Obama'...he nailed Stewart. Watch it again with 'Harvey' in mind...

The talking points of *senile, embarrassing* appeared immediately after Clint finished his speech. This exact phrasing was on every site that had a video clip of the speech and was often the first comment. It was a DNC coordinated attempt to demean Clint.

It didn’t work.

I read a lot of comments about Clint’s hair, too. I assume they mean his bald spot was showing and the est was sort of spiky and somewhat uncontrolled. I think he looks great and is still an attractive man at 82.

It was make up, a costume if you will.

“Harvey.”

One of the best! Full of all kind of lunatics tastefully done. The only movie I would say is equal is "Arsenic and Old Lace"

Yes. My point is that it looked _good_. It was a good cut and it had been volumized. for those who don’t know what that means, ask a woman in your life or the person who cuts your hair.

Older men w/thinning hair need to add volume to it while not trying to cover up the bald spot or receding hairline. It looks a lot better than a hairpiece, a comb over or something gelled within an inch of its life. Clint looked natural, healthy and was able to move without worrying about his hair.
