The sheer number of people dumb enough to admire her is what scares the shit out of me. The RNC organizers at least had enough sense to ask her to stay away. Along with everyone but Rice who had ever had anything to do with the \*last \*Republican administration. ---

Last night, after seeing the Jon Stewart clip of Chuck Norris and his wife, I asked hubby; “Chuck Norris?” He replied; “Dead to me!” Poor guy, I feel kind of bad for him now. (But that was some awesome stupid on display, how can you not laugh?) ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > And you clowns are still terrified of Palin. Deal with it. We dealt with it: we gave Obama a convincing mandate and 4 years in the White House. 😃 I hope we treat Mitt with the same amount of fear ---

We need to remember that Clint’s politics are decidedly not Republican Party boilerplate. There’s no reason for a liberal to say “he’s dead to me!”. The guy is Libertarian. In a fairly recent GQ interview, he said this: > [@Clint Eastwood](#): > > These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage?” Eastwood opined. “I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of.” > > “They go on and on with all this bullshit about ‘sanctity’ — don’t give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.” He’s also pro choice. ---

Would have been interesting to have him mention those things in addition to his little ‘end the war now’ bit (conveniently forgetting he was in a room full of people who not only didn’t want to leave Iraq, but don’t necessarily want to leave Afghanistan, AND have thoughts about starting wars in Syria and Iran.) ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > And you clowns are still terrified of Palin. Deal with it. Which clowns would that be, sir? Ms. Palin is a woman who does commentary for a television network. She was the candidate for vice-president in 2008, a race she and her running mate lost. Terrified? Really? ---

Eastwood’s been consistently anti-war, too. He hated going into Iraq and he didn’t like going into Afghanistan much either. ---
