I disagree.
Pfst! Here I was trying to decifer the speech and that it could not have been that bad, and then old Clint confirms it was just a dithering old fool with no idea about what he was going to say. Cool Clint, you’re even older than I thought.
I wonder aloud if it is not a dog whistle to birthers but to climate change deniers, (also mostly Republican and of the Tea Bagger variety) another old man, senator Inhofe, loves to say that “global warming is the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people”.
>3000 dead servicepeople and I don’t even know how many disabled ones also disagree.
Before I comment I need to know if means greatest as “in size” or “in excellence”, because the former is kind of scary, while the latter is king of cool.
The funniest part was Invisible Obama losing his cool and lashing out at Clint. I doubt that cranky old fart could make Actual Obama bat an eye.
Perhaps the “hoax” is that the Invisible Obama that Clint Eastwood talked to is the real president and the one we see on cameras is a fake.
I don’t think this breaks down exactly down political lines. I’m the libbiest lib that ever protested a gay Hispanic woman’s right to stay in this country and have an abortion but I couldn’t watch Clint and the chair. It made me sad and uncomfortable.
And you just know, when SNL hits the air, Clint’s going to get a shellacking, I’d bet.
And richly deserved, in my opinion.
I can’t wait!
Anyone ever watch Mrs Eastwood and Company? I watched about 2 minutes worth once.
They’re all nuts.
I almost feel sorry for Clint. Almost.
A fake afraid-of-horses cowboy.
Yep.
I hope I’m not hijacking too much, I will try to be brief.
The show is a mess. It really made me feel as awkward whenever the camera found the elusive Clint on that show as I did when he was talking to that chair. It appears that his wife sold their dignity so that the reality show can showcase this group she found in South Africa. She thinks she discovered this shocking new a capella type group that will blow all of our minds, not realizing that we already have Pentatonixand Straight No Chaser, so we sure aint bout to be impressed with her crappy band.
I figured others online must agree, so I googled it. Trying to find someone saying anything bad about this band was hard. I couldn’t do it. It was like when you try to find bad information about a ponzie scheme company, and you see they have stacked the deck on google so that everytime you think you have found a link that is negative, it isn’t. So, I finally find a search term that gives a negative review of the band. Guess who is one of only two commentsin the comments section? That’s right. Dina Eastwood*. Fiercely defending her babies. If that really is her, I think she is a tad loony.
So, I failed to keep this brief. Sorry.
You forgot to include a crucial bit of context:
I don’t care for macho movies and the actors who star in them, including Eastwood, so I don’t have any emotional baggage in this. Nevertheless, you’re right. Regardless of who he is and what his politics are, it was more pitiful than laughable.
If the invisible Obama were the one I saw when I looked at the president (or an empty chair), I’d think he were a hoax too.
What a nutcase Eastwood is turning into.
It’s OK to say he doesn’t like Obama and thinks Romney will make a better President. But “greatest hoax”? That is the language of crazed conspiracy theorists.
The guy deserves all the ridicule he has received in the last week.
Interesting choice of words - Hoax.
Per Twitter President Obama: “My plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet—because climate change is not a hoax.”
September 15, Seth McFarlane hosting. I’ll go with Bill Hader to play Eastwood.
No word about Fred Armisen leaving the show, so they still have their Obama. They’ll need a new Romney, though - and a new Biden and a Ryan.
So much for the theory that Clinton was pulling a prank on the RNC.
