I was both shocked and appalled by the performance of Clint Eastwood last night. I have no problem with him being a Republican but I have a great problem with him being so rude to his president.
He has many liberal friends and HE himself is Pro-choice, for Gay rights as well as Gay Marriage, assisted suicide and for sensible gun legislation...... ALL of which are moral anathema to the modern GOP.
I had great respect for Eastwood as an Actor, Director and even a film composer but all that was lost in the 10 minutes he showed a profound disrespect for the office of the Presidency along with a great need for aricept. He came across as the lunatic family member that interrupts the sanity of an occasion and is rushed to the attic to live out his days. Not only did he thoroughly embarrass the Republican party, he also represented Hollywood very poorly. I was lookng forward to going to see his new film with AMY ADAMS but after that you could not get me there at gunpoint. The RWNJ seems to think this will all blowover, but I really think such a cruel mockery of a beloved man will have an effect. The Right will pour into the theatres for the film but I really think it will not have the numbers they would have seen had Eastwood not spewed his hateful diatribe.
My guess is the DNC will have someone sane like Clooney speak to counter that debacle that was Clint Eastwood.
