Eastwood humblebrags: RNC speech ran long due to ‘people applauding so much’

Sep. 7, 2012 1:28pm Eddie Scarry

In an interview with a local California newspaper, Clint Eastwood talks about his oddball speech at the Republican convention last week.

It’s been reported that Eastwood’s speech ran much longer than it was supposed to. “When people are applauding so much, it takes you 10 minutes to say five minutes’ worth,” he said.

It’s true. I loved listening to him. He sounded just like Dirty Harry. Good thing Obama wasn’t sitting in that chair.

  But had he been there Clint could have asked “do you feel lucky Punk?”

For some reason, We the People “got” the Eastwood skit and the media elites do not. Clint Eastwood was Everyman, saying what the rest of us are saying out here in Realityland and have no venue to express. He was the rumpled, slightly ( by design) inarticulate “Us” saying in plain speech that the presidency chair is not “taken”, it is GIVEN, by We the People, and we built it, we own it, and when the one occupying it fails, we can take it away.

Why is it so hard for media people to understand that these people who run for office are, indeed, our employees, not our masters? President Obama, “YOU’RE FIRED”.

Scarry, you punk! What have you GOT AGAINST CLINT? “Oddball..”?? “Goofy…”?? Didn’t your mama teach you, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all? (You sound like you are hoping some LIB-SHEET will pick you up and spare you the distasteful task of writing for THEBLAZE.COM.)

P.S.
