Eastwood: "If they were dumb enough


Posted: Oct 13, 2012

In an interview on "Extra," Clint Eastwood talked about his big night at the RNC as the mystery guest:  "If they were dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get."  Clint sure does have an odd way of paying respects to his RNC hosts, the event and the audience.

:) They DIDN'T vet his routine, after all. Even Bill Maher - was impressed with the quality of his product, if

not the content. He said it'd be MUCH harder to carry off a good routine with only an empty chair for a prop than one might think.

And as we all know...sm - Liberty

Clint was right with the empty-chair routine. Turns out the RNC wasn't so dumb.

Thank you.

Evidently, Mr. Eastwood does not - share your opinion.

Have to wonder what motivated him to make such a statement in an entertainment venue interview, the world where he makes his living.

Problem was, it derailed, big time, the message the RNC wanted - people to talk about (not a chair).

The whole rest of the convention furthered that message, but I don't even remember what it was, only the chair. That's why all the dissatisfaction with the routine that Eastwood was responding to. He and his chair would have been great in a different venue. A dem.

Key words: "If they were dumb enough..." - sm

Well, they're dumb, no doubt about that.

Clint Eastwood Vs. George ClooneyAug 31, 2012
Choosing Clint Eastwood to represent Hollywood at the RNC was a stroke of genius. He embodies conservatism and the Heartland ruggedness of America. I would say that more people can relate to Clint Eastwood (RNC's choice) than to George Clooney (DNC's choice). ...

I Don't Understand What The Clint Eastwood Thing Was All AboutAug 31, 2012
I've always liked Clint Eastwood, but his rambling speech did nothing to bring any clarity to important issues or tell us anything we don't know about Romney/Ryan. I didn't see the point. I felt sorry for him because he didn't look or sound well, but why did the planners put him in that embarrassing position. He was clearly out of place. That wasn't fair to him. It made him look incompetent trying to speak on politics and having nothing of value to say. ...

Then I got fidgety as his half-truths about the debt grew into full-blown whoppers. As he droned on, I did something I never did before during an Obama appearance: I turned off the TV. Enough.

I Did Something DumbNov 12, 2013
Okay, not as dumb in the scheme of dumb things a person can do, but here it goes. We have a very large freezer and buy things in bulk to save money. Often, we have to take stuff out in order to get to the item we want to defrost. In most cases, we remember to put all the stuff back that we took out, but every now and then, we forget something. This time, it was a 5-lb bag of sausage. It is commercially-bought sausage, so there are probably plenty of preservatives in there. Anyway, it was ...

I have a really dumb question. I have moderately severe osteoarthritis of my hip. I am finding it increasingly difficult to sit at a desk or table for longer than 15 or 20 minutes at a time. I find I am fairly more comfortable sitting on my recliner sofa and it's easier on my hip. Do any of you work at a desk or table? Do you have any suggestions. Some nights it's almost unbearable to sit for any length of time especially when it rains. Thanks ahead of time. ...

Pelosi's Playing Dumb AGAIN!Dec 14, 2014
WASHINGTON –  The man who oversaw the controversial CIA interrogation program defended the use of the techniques used on militants --  including waterboarding -- and said members of Congress, including Rep.

no clue.  I am so irritated with her.  I am not a rude person by nature, but after I said how it was NOT appreciated her constant texts/calls/dropping by, you would think she would get the hint!  Apparently not!!  Ah well.  Wish I had a crystal ball when I first friended her.  I wish she was on facebook so I could unfriend her!

I guess I could always Google it.  Dumb blonde jokes are very funny. But why can't it be a dumb brunette occasionally? There are lots and lots of those, too! Makes me question sometimes the ...

Governor Mike Pence Is Either Very DumbMar 30, 2015
He refuses to state whether or not his idiotic "religious freedom law" will allow people to discriminate against gays. Of course it will. Good for all the businesses and athletes who are boycotting this law and the state. I am really getting sick of this being the "I Hate Obama" board, "no, I hate him more," "no, I REALLY hate him." If you think that's politics, it's not. It's just boring. So, anyone, what think you about this situation of governors approving laws that make it ...

Is Maxine Waters Really As Dumb As Nancy Pelosi?Mar 01, 2013
Or maybe just a liar?   Maxine Waters makes dumbest point ever, claims 170 million jobs will be lost It wasn’t long ago that Nancy Pelosi claimed 500 million jobs would be lost per month if there was no government stimulus. Maxine Waters is taking a page from Skeletor’s book by claiming if no deal is made on the sequester cuts, 170 million jobs will be cut. Quite a claim considering only about 130 million people in America have jobs. ...
