I know Eastwood's speech was last week, but I just watched it, and....

what a rambling crock of shit. What an anti-climactic way to end their convention, LOL. Seems to me like Eastwood was either drunk or medicated or both.

I've been listening to DNC speeches earlier this morning and the speakers are all much more composed.

1. To be fair he is 150 years old

just dementia

2. Clint was a bit overconfident.

He thought that his improvisation would overwhelm the performance of "those amateurs." But he is not a stage actor. He discounted the opportunity provided by the "retakes" available to movie actors, and the forgiveness from Actor's Studio exercises.

He was probable thinking "piece of cake" when he took the stage.

5. He was reading from his new autobiography.

NEW YORK—According to publisher HarperCollins, 82-year-old actor Clint Eastwood’s new autobiography, I…Where You’re Alive And They—You Write A Book About You, will be released this October, just in time for the holiday book-buying season.

“When you write…it’s just that so, these people are all in our lives, all of us, and he’s—but you know about—I remember 50 years ago,” reads an excerpt from a chapter titled “You See The Past And It Doesn’t Hurt, I Don’t Know.” “They were saying, but I thought—people in your own life were something to be thought about—and they were saying that back then, and even now, and I just thought, this is great.”

“My mom was crying, I was crying, and my dad—and I haven’t…but I thought, yeah, and Million Dollar Baby was then,” the excerpt continues. “You do that.”

Press materials from HarperCollins confirmed the 750-page volume chronicles Eastwood’s upbringing in Northern California (“I was born, and uh…uh…uh”), his personal life as a husband and father (“Kids are kids now, and that is a thing that we…and I think a lot about that”), and his long, storied career in Hollywood (“You make movies, and then they make them, and then they get made”).

7. It's like Saruman

who gazed too long into the Palantir.

8. For those 12 minutes he "became" a tea party member ... he was an angry old white man ...

shouting at an imaginary Obama, who he blamed for things that never happened, and that the actual Obama never did.

If that doesn't describe the GOP/Tea Party, nothing will.

9. I don't recall him saying anything about rmoney

He probably knows nothing about rmoney. The whole thing was pathetic to the extreme.
