Halperin is making me laugh

in disgust!!

He is promoting the Romney's team's lie that Eastwood was "unscripted" and the chair was a surprise to them. Really? Who put it on the stage? Lawrence O'Donnell said he personally knew the man who was responsible for the show ast night and it was no accident. It was planned and now they are throwing him under the bus.

1. The entire convention was a mess...mixed messages,Dis-enfranchised Paul delegates,

the nut throwing, the zombie like candidate, too many "me" stories, no details about anything Mitt wants to do (other than generalities). If a political party can't handle running a convention, how in billy blue blazes are they going to run the country?

Yes, they knew what Clint was going to do...maybe loosely, but they knew. Why can't they say, and be honest, simply that it seemed like a good idea at the time. They want to be taken as human...then act human.

5. It's not that unusual to ask for a chair to be onstage.

I mean if someone asked you to bring a chair onstage for them, would you assume they were going to sit on it? Or would you assume they were going to talk to it onstage for 10 minutes?

Going through the motions with no actual instrument at hand.
A new height, all-in-all, in empty political theater.
