I just didn't think it was funny.

(9,992 posts)7. If a democrat had come even CLOSE to mocking Bush the way Eastwood did Obama,
the GOP would have had them tarred and feathered.
I guess "respect for the office" only applies when a Repuke is in the White House.
It was beyond unfunny, it was disgusting.

I suspect there will be distancing in the morning.

(10,572 posts)10. Romney has been known to drop the F bomb
http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/magazine/97756/mitt-romney-anger-lmfao
It was not the last time Romney would clash with a law enforcement official. Two decades later, at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Romney found himself stuck in a huge traffic backup on the road to the mens downhill ski area, because some buses had not received the proper security-clearance placards and were being prevented from proceeding. Romney, who had organized the Salt Lake Olympics, jumped out to take charge. He started directing traffic, over the objections of a sheriffs deputy, Kodi Taggart; she later filed a report on Romneys interference. And he lit into an 18-year-old volunteering as a security officer, Shaun Knopp. Knopp told reporters that Romney had asked who the fuck he was and what the fuck he was doing and had then told him, We got the Olympics going on, and we dont need this shit going on. Romney denied this at the time, saying he had not used such language since high school. I would not, have not, and never would use the f-word, he said. The worst word he used with Knopp, he said, was H-E double hockey sticks.

(1 post)8. What exactly did Clint Eastwood say?
I just heard Ed reference Clint Eastwood's remark. What exactly did he say. I'm assuming he didn't actually say f u c _... If anyone has the full quote handy, I'm curious what he (Eastwood) said preciously.
