"he didn't have to do this to himself".

Did he have any clue what a wave of comedy mocking Gold he would inspire?

As far as tonight, it's been a long, stressful week and it was good to laugh in unison with so many other like minded individuals!

to me I think because I was so concerned how much of an impression Clint Eastwood would make with his distinguished career and making the case with a reasonable speech that would speak to Independents. I was wondering if he would get up there and lie like those he supports?..

But, this..who would imagine!? ..he's like a gift that will keep on giving .. we'll see for how long.

Invisible Obama is haunting The Tweets on Twitter!

Regardless of whether people liked Eastwood's BS or not, it's still going to eat up huge amounts of time on the networks. This means less time for Rmoney to try and paint the false image he's just etch-a-scetched for himself at a time when he needs it most.

A man who has been responsible for so many great films - it'd be terrible if this was all he was remembered for. Hopefully, though, he will only be the butt of jokes for a few days while his films live on.

2. In the old days of vaudeville they had to use a hook now and then.

If the RNC had it to do all over again they would probably wish they had a hook tonight.

Is Reince Priebus going to get any blame for this fiasco. Santorum was right. Romney is the worst republican ever to run against Obama.

I am glad he did what he did I. He spoke out for what he believes. I have admired his films forever. I support his decision. I support his freedom of speech. With that said, I have to agree to disagree with old William Munny. I will watch and love his flicks. i just won't tak politiAL advice from him
