Chris Rock Tweets

5hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Clint Eastwood debated a chair and the chair won. #RNC #GOP2012

40mChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

The Dems should have an empty chair on stage for the entire DNC, & when anyone asks who it belongs to, they can say Osama bin Laden #DNC2012

1hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

BREAKING NEWS: CNN REPORTS: Last night when he got home, Clint Eastwood got in a huge fight with the rest of his furniture. #RNC #GOP2012

2hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Romney proves w/ a little hard work & a little luck, even a multimillionaire white guy from Harvard can succeed in this country #GOP2012

2hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Mitt Romney says he's never paid less than 13% in taxes, which I think is fair because only 13% of his money is in this country #GOP2012

2hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Clint Eastwood, an 82 year old man who has had 7 children with 5 women, was married twice & talking to me about family values! #RNC #GOP2012

4hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

The empty chair was a metaphor for the entire GOP platform. There's nothing there, but blind hatred for a man that doesn't exist


4hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

If you vote against Obama because he can't get stuff done, it's like saying, "this guy can't cure cancer. I'm gonna vote for cancer." #RN


6hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Republicans are getting so confident of beating Obama they've started admitting he was born here #RNC #GOP2012

7hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

Half a billion dollars have been spent on campaign ads so far. It's a good thing our schools & economy are in great shape or I'd be mad #RNC

7hChris Rock‏@chrisrockoz

The people who demanded to see Obama's birth certificate dont seem the slightest bit interested in seeing Romney's tax returns #RNC #GOP2012

And there's another Facebook comment floating around asking everyone to go easy on Clint. He was asked to criticize Obamacare and Eastwood thought they said Obama chair.

This is the best, by far: The empty chair was a metaphor for the entire GOP platform. There's nothing there, but blind hatred for a man that doesn't exist

So very true!

He should tour with Romney and provide a loosely translated account of Mitt's adventures.

The other best ones:

"I am," I said
To no one there
An no one heard at all
Not even the chair
"I am," I cried
"I am," said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
