Clint Eastwood called Romney stupid....

[vaberella]

Bless. I figured he was a liberal. There are no words to the concave of the Romney candidacy. Quayle would have run a better race.

1. He pretty much called the Republicans suckers for trusting him.

They're the gift that keeps on giving.

2. Didn't Clint say 'whoever would ask me to speak would be stupid?'

paraphrasing, and wasn't it Steven Whatever who actually asked Clint to speak? (NOT disagreeing that rmoney's stupid; just seeking clarity.)

4. It was Romney who asked Eastwood to come to the convention...

according to this NYT article:

For all the finger-pointing about Clint Eastwood’s rambling conversation with an empty chair on Thursday night, the most bizarre, head-scratching 12 minutes in recent political convention history were set in motion by Mitt Romney himself and made possible by his aides, who had shrouded the actor’s appearance in secrecy.

Mr. Romney privately invited Mr. Eastwood, of “Dirty Harry” fame, to speak after the actor had given him a gravelly, full-throated endorsement at a star-studded fund-raiser at the Sun Valley Resort Lodge in Idaho this summer. “He just made my day. What a guy,” Mr. Romney joked with his donors that night, flanked by the fake log columns of the lodge.

Thus began an effort by Mr. Romney’s campaign over several weeks to inject a Hollywood-style surprise into the highly scripted, tightly controlled convention where Mr. Romney would formally accept the nomination of the Republican Party to be president.

7. LOL, agree completely! n/t

3. He's no liberal. He's a conservative skinflint

who wants to keep his own taxes as low as possible.

He deviates from Romney because he has never pandered to the religious loonies. He also lacks that sense of entitlement that only the children of the rich who consider themselves self made can possibly develop, that sense of entitlement that makes them despise the "rabble" whose votes Romney is inexplicably courting.

So, yes, he thinks Romney is as dumb as a box of hair. He is quite right that Romney might have had a chance this year just on the bigot vote added to Democratic apathy.

Well, Democrats aren't apathetic now. Romney blew it.

8. He described himself as a Libertarian on "Ellen" the other day.

He said he is a liberal on social issues, conservative on economics. That's old fashioned traditional Republican ideology. Wingers refer to that ideology's followers as "Super RINO"

5. I must have been the only one that saw

what Clint Eastwood did was to actually poke fun at the GOP, not the other way round as most people have express
which is the act fell flat, i think it was beautifully orchestrated by Clint to make it look that way because they
probably harassed him to appear because he might have made large donations in the past to their party.

They got suck punched again, guess they were trying to prove to fundies that he (Clint) is a republican after he
did the super bowl ad (Its's Half-Time America) by rushing and getting him to appear on stage, and that he did.
