My mother is 94. She’s a Democrat. She LOVED Clint Eastwood’s remarks.
The only thing he missed is telling Obama, “A man has to know his limitations . . . .”
That would’ve capped it.

There is, however, a big caveat in this figures, which is that the people who watched the convention on the final night were still more Republican than the general population.

Gee, ya think?

…I’ve got a folding chair with JugEars name in magic marker on the backrest (I live in Michigan so I have to give the uninformed some ‘wonder why?’ assistance)…I’m trying to figure out how to put it securely on the roof of my car! I drive 49 miles one way to work on mostly stop and go freeway…I really would like to make that trip fun every day from now until November!

“Crazy Guggenheim” was on Jackie Gleason’s show. And he was played by Frankie Fontaine. Del Dolemonte on September 1, 2012 at 9:02 PM

He used to a Jim Nabors-type thing, where he'd coming out acting goofy, but then Gleason - as "Joe The Bartender" - would have him sing a song with that wonderful voice of his. Never missed Craze on Gleason when I was a kid. The show was called "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine". With the June Taylor dancers. Now, that was entertainment!

Anyone who doens’t get the jest, and straight talk for Mr. Clint Eastwood, are absolute fools! And I don’t care what side of the isle you roost on. He is an entertainer, and he is a straight talking american, who put it as simply as he knew how for the masses to understand…if you have a boss/employee that isn’t doing their job in a satisfactory manner…ya gotta let ‘em go…or fire them! Some folks are just too stupid or over/under analyze…libtards in particular!

Also his entire demeanor changed as did the tenure of his voice and he thanked the crowd.

Yup, like watching Roger “Verbal” Kint transform seamlessly into Keyser Söze in The Usual Suspects: The posture straightens, the stride quickens: “And like that, he’s gone.”

Well done, Mr. Eastwood. Well done, indeed.

I just got done building a platform and anchoring an empty chair in the bed of my Ford Ranger.

Probably not a good idea for folks living in hostile blue territory.
