I take it Clint Eastwood gave a really embarrassing speech tonight?

[Systematic Chaos]

I'm not watching the convention, and didn't even know he was going to be there.

It's just this weird psychic feeling I got somehow....

1. He spoke to an empty chair. 'Nuff said.

3. muntrv is not joking. n/t

7. Let me guess...

the chair was the better actor? Good god, I"m glad I'm not watching this. I want to remember Clint as he was.

2. It would have been truly humiliating to his younger self.

But he was probably happy with it.

4. You know that feeling you get when someone does something so stupid it almost embarrasses you?

It was kind of like that.

5. It wasn't a speech - it was performance art

6. Even Dubya and Rick Perry are saying

WTF???

[MADem]

8. It was bad. nt

[aaaaaa5a]

9. I honestly started to feel sorry for him by the end. Who approved that skit? nt

10. It was so cringeworthy I ran out of the room

The only good thing is that fewer people will be talking about Romney tomorrow.

11. Thanks for the replies so far, everyone.

My OP was just being facetious though, as there was this massive spate of GD threads which suddenly sprang up about how horrible poor Eastwood was tonight.

I was actually listening to Mike Malloy's radio show and just kinda browsing around here when that all went down. I haven't seen the Eastwood "performance" yet, but I plan to watch it later.
