1. That would figure. I was hoping for the Nuge.

Old white guy or nuts white guy, it will be an obvious choice.

[Thrill]

2. If true

If you're a Democrat, don't go see his new movie

[Floyd_Gondolli]

4. Meh....I'm giving him a pass

Same with Robert Duvall. It does make me think slightly less of them as people though, but it's no different than the way I feel when I meet new people with a conservative bent. A mix of mild disdain and pity.

[jillan]

17. Robert Duvall too? Oh man!!

[Floyd_Gondolli]

26. Yeah it was disappointing

He was on with Howard Stern last year and gushed about Palin for at least 10 minutes. He's just misinformed or uninformed like a lot of their base. Difference is he's talented.

[rurallib]

24. never cared for Eastwood myself

sure liked that orangutan he used to star with.

[Zoeisright]

3. There goes my last shred of respect for him.

Jackass.

[abelenkpe]

5. really?

Has he not noticed that they have aligned themselves with bigots and fundamentalists?

Gotta admit I'm disappointed.

[Cha]

29. Ol' Clint has Aligned himself with those and

LIARS. So, I can only deduece that Psychotic Lying is just A-Okay with him.

Too bad he's so greedy he got sapped by the Liars' Club for Idiots.

[MFM008]

6. retire for gods sake Clint.

[JI7]

7. i thought Conservatives didnt like his movies because they say it has a liberal message

[MelungeonWoman]

23. I was under the same impression...

Makes me wonder if this speech doesn't turn out to be reminiscent of Steve Colberts White House correspondants dinner speech.



One can hope.

[JBoy]

8. I thought they were all pissed at his Chrysler commercial?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Yeah fuck him too. Is he seriously this goddamn ignorant? The pulled up pants must have messed up

his circulation or something.

[monmouth]

10. He must be the John Wayne replacement...n/t

[Initech]

11. Yawn. I'd rather have a zombie Reagan. Now *THAT* would be news worthy!

[onehandle]

12. And he has a new cranky old fart movie coming out.

How appropriate that he is addressing 20k cranky old white farts.

[David Zephyr]

13. He's the stand-in for Charlton Heston. LOL.

[ErikJ]

14. Damn Hollywood 'LIBERALS"!!

Just push Eastwood in their face next time they say that.

[jsmirman]

15. I can't see how Clint endorses vote suppression, local dictatorships, and wanton lying

either he's lost it or he never saw it.

[grantcart]

16. Deadline has learned that as of Wednesday afternoon, the actor/director was still at his home in CA

[Auntie Bush]

25. He can be here in a couple hours on some fancy Koch private souped up jet. nt

[Terra Alta]

18. yet another rich white guy?

that just figures... I thought it would be someone who could at least try to relate to the average American...

[spanone]

19. i thought they hated those 'hollywood types'??? guess they only hate certain ones....

martin bashir had the dumbest of the baldwin boys on his show today...

[Archae]

20. If it is Clint...

He just made his last film.

Hollywood for the most part detests today's GOP, with a passion.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. Wait, didn't Rove the rest of them get all pissy about his bailout Ad?

Now he's going to kiss their butts?

How very un-Clint Eastwood of him.

[nolabear]

22. If he says "Go ahead,make my day" I'm going to puke.

[Auntie Bush]

27. If he speaks...I'll never watch another of his movies...just like I stopped watching

Charlton Heston movies.

[Odd Won Out]

28. Say it aint so, Clint

The older he gets, the less respect I have for him. He was kind of Libertarian before, but supporting THIS GOP? Fascist, ignorant POS.

[and-justice-for-all]

30. Well color me I dont give a shit..nt
