In reply to the discussion: Clint Eastwood To Speak At Republican Convention on Thursday: Fox News [View all]highplainsdem
(48,974 posts)9. From HuffPo: Play Ditzy for Me: The Hypocrisy and Deceit of Clint Eastwood's Romney Endorsement
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/play-ditzy-for-me-the-hyp_b_1842124.html
Sources in both Florida and California are speculating that "Dirty Harry" himself, Clint Eastwood, is about to sweep into the Sunshine State to serve as the so-called "Mystery Speaker" at the closing night of the of the Republican Snooze Fest--better known as the Gathering of Pasty White People--in Tampa.
Eastwood's announcement earlier this summer that he was endorsing Mitt Romney during a $2 million fundraiser at his vacation home in trendy Sun Valley, Idaho--where the likes of "Dirty Harry" Callahan would never be caught--was more than a bit self-serving and revealed that, perhaps at 82, Eastwood is little a out of touch with the wage-earning and beer-guzzling audiences that once gobbled up his cinematic fare.
Dare I proffer that Squirrely Squint--with his estimated net worth of $375 million--has become a one-percenter?

If Eastwood is, indeed, the "mystery man" tonight, there will be no mystery in his remarks. They will be riddled with further hypocrisy and deceit. That you can count on. "A good man," declares Dirty Harry in Magnum Force, "always knows his limitations." Apparently, his creator does not.

They think Rubio and Romney will look stronger if they follow Clint Eastwood?

They'd wheel out Reagan's rotting corpse if they thought they could get away with it.
