Evidently Obama tells everyone to shut up and tells Romney to go fuck himself. At least that's what Clint heard him say.

It must have been really bad. The news will be full of Eastwood, I am assuming.

She simply doesn't lose her cool under any circumstances. Reading the threads around DU - I wouildn't watch a minute of this even if free booze was provided - I gather that Eastwood was babbling at an empty chair and sparks were coming out of his ears. No wonder Rachel is gobsmacked.
