It makes the RNC seem like comedy. It is the only way to get through listening to the Repubs try and peddle their crap.

Whoever on the Romney campaign came up with Clint Eastwood as a "surprise" guest is on the DNC payroll.

I didn't realize that, when Clint Eastwood was announced as a surprise speaker, that it would also be a surprise to him.


The GOP is having Clint Eastwood speak at the #RNC so they can finally appeal to the grumpy old white guy demo they've found so elusive.
