Clint Eastwood ... the "mystery" speaker...

[Mmm_Bacon]

FOX and Friends is claiming that a source has him slotted as the speaker for the empty block tonight at the RNC.

1. How exciting!!!!!111

Actually,

[99Forever]

2. I can hear it now...

"You kids get off my lawn!"



Washed up old goat.

[Inuca]

5. Unfair

You may dislike his politics, but he had the intelligence and talent to grow from being just a pretty boy into a good actor and director. He makes interesting, often courageous movies. He in no way "washed up". I respect the guy, and hope that the rumor is false.

7. He makes crappy movies...

I really can't stand the garbage he directs...he's vastly over-rated, IMHO.

[rurallib]

9. never cared for Eastwood myself and could never

understand what anyone else saw in his work.
but he is rich, i am not

[joeybee12]

17. Yup, he's made a lot of money off of those movies...

They're borderline unwatchable...don't understand the appeal

[Tom Ripley]

18. +1,000,000 (Simplistic and sentimental tripe with a veneer of "respectability")

[99Forever]

11. Like I should give a fuck..

.. about being "fair" to the Rapepublican Party? Fuck 'em all and ESPECIALLY their front men like that old WASHED UP neverwas.

[Voice for Peace]

16. he's actually not that great of an actor

in my opinion. In Bridges of madison County he was much
like Mitt in that film. Working with one of the most passionate
& brilliant women in film history, he was totally stiff and
awkward & made the love story unbelievable (my opinion).

[part man all 86]

4. Is that like mystery meat mondays back in high school? Bland, pasty and old.

[still_one]

6. good job clint you will now be spokesperson for the anti-women racist party of america, the

republicans

[DonCoquixote]

8. This is sad

Hey Clint, remember how the conservatives hated you as director because you were supposedly too liberal?

[Fumesucker]

10. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Clint is sandbagging the Republicans..

Trash them on stage as an invited guest at their own convention, that's something an Eastwood character would do..

[XemaSab]

21. So what are this week's winning Lotto numbers?

[Fumesucker]

22. You'd have to ask The Count about that..

[sadbear]

12. That still doesn't add up...

especially after Romney's column about letting Detroit go bankrupt. One would expect Clint to be kinda pissed about that. (He is still a republican, so any hypocrisy on the issue wouldn't be surprising either.)

[Liberal Veteran]

13. Wouldn't that be pandering to the "Hollywood Elites"?

[peace13]

14. I witnessed one crazy loon watching Clints Detroit ad last winter.

I don't think she will be happy to see him on her stage tonight. Mind like a steel trap. 'How dare we give our tax money to Detroit!' Maybe he is back to explain things to her!

[blogslut]

15. I don't think it will happen

I think FOX is pulling this one out of their collective asses. Hologram Reagan is more likely than Eastwood. I realize Clint has supported and been elected as a republican in the past but, recently, he's stated his ambivalence towards current GOP ideology.

I could be wrong. One never knows. Whoever the "mystery speaker" is, they will be more buildup than payoff.

19. Tebow.

Florida.

[Raine]

20. WOW, I can just see it all now, all the old gals in the audience throwing their Depends

up on the speakers platform!
