Clint Eastwood Gets Cut From Romney RNC Video
A video mash-up of speakers from last weeks Republican National Convention does not include an appearance from the mystery RNC speaker, Clint Eastwood.
The two-and-a-half minute video posted today to the Romney campaigns YouTube account features former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, VP nominee Paul Ryan and of course, Romney himself, but it leaves out Eastwoods controversial speech.
Eastwood caused a stir at the convention and on Twitter with a rambling speech Thursday night, in which he interviewed an invisible President Obama in a wooden prop chair.
<...>
A Romney adviser said the presidential candidate found Eastwoods routine funny, but other Republicans worried it disrupted the flow of the final night at the national convention.
