Stern-faced Romney aides winced at times as Eastwood's remarks stretched on. On a night where virtually every moment was scripted, Eastwood was among the only speakers not reading from a teleprompter as he spoke. It was blank.

(296,848 posts)I missed the speech but, love seeing everyone's reaction who did. If I ever want to get pissed there's a vid already up somewhere.

(116,464 posts)Republicans thought they scored with Clint. They were giddy. Weird Willard heard the plan, Clint's skit. Being the friggin geek and petty asshole he is, he said, "neato." Clint scolding an invisible Obama, what could be better? (Mitt thought)
Like his overseas trip, now come the lies. Mitt and his campaign had no idea.
"the Romney campaign had not prepared sufficiently for a visit of this magnitude"

How the hell does a Presidential candidate allow this shit to happen on the night of his speech?
