I felt that last night. It was SABOTAGE!

good on Clint.
still wondering why the pundits haven't picked up on this possibility. Would be sooooo juicy.

I just don't think so- it would be great if that was the case but I think Eastwood is a Republican and always has been or maybe a Libertarian. And he's in his 80's and he has some type of aging thing or a bit of dementia. Because in addition to the lies and hate he was spewing- not to mention the disgusting level of disrespect, there were segments in his monologue that were totally batshit crazy and incoherent.

..."dementia," but the rest is on point, and he still "fucked" Romney with that speech.

Big winner at RNC: Chair

I think he was pissed Ron Paul got his delegates ripped.

Clint is not a true blue pug of today as he supports marriage equality, pro-choice and is anti-war.

I think the Pugs like him because of his macho man gun thing from his movies.

By setting up war and torture as being associated with the invisible negro, he got the whole party of war and torture to applaud anti-war and anti-torture sentiments. He could have had them cheering for abortion, labor unions, and gay marriage, if he could have convinced them that Obama was against it.

the part where Clint pretends that the 'invisible Obama' wants Clint to tell Romeny to go 'F**K' himself

seems like something you wouldn't want to say to Romney if you're a Romney supporter.

It's was all so bizarre I think it will take some time to sort out - LOL

it just leaped out at people on tv's all over the country.

I also think the "go fuck yourself" was Clint saying that to Romney.

...it wouldn't surprise me if he planned it this way. Revenge a dish best served cold. He stole Mitt's limelight on Mitt's big day. They're talking about him and not Mitt. Pretty friggin' hilarious if it's really the case.
