    Chris, Clint Eastwood knew exactly what he was doing at the Republican National Convention. I, especially like Mark Steyn’s assessment of the performance.

    Like William F. Gavin, I hugely enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s turn last night, but I’m not sure I agree that it was “unintentionally hilarious” and that “he forgot his lines, lost his way.” Clint is a brilliant actor, and a superb director of other actors (and I don’t just mean a quarter-century ago: In the last five years, he’s directed eight films). He’s also, as Mr. Gavin observed, a terrific jazz improviser at the piano — and, in film and music documentaries, an extremely articulate interviewee. So I wouldn’t assume that the general tenor of his performance wasn’t exactly as he intended. The hair was a clue: No Hollywood icon goes out on stage like that unless he means to.

    John Hayward writes:

    “The intended recipient was not Mitt Romney, the convention delegates, or even Republican voters, but rather wavering independents. Clint was there to tell them it’s OK to find Obama, his ugly campaign operation, and his increasingly shrill band of die-hard defenders ridiculous. It’s OK to laugh at them.”

    Without a doubt, Eastwood provided “cover” for Mitt Romney. It is OK to vote against President Obama – not even everyone from Hollywood is supporting him this time around.

    Now, let’s see who the Democrats use to attempt to “trump” Dity Harry.
