A Fistful of Dollars
Don’t mind us, just want to get that gag on the record.
Close Friend of Romney: Clint Eastwood Is Thursday’s ‘Mystery Speaker’ [US News]
Cue up the Chrysler “Halftime in America” superbowl ad.
“Go ahead, make my election?”
Meanwhile, turns out there was a Reagan Hologram in the works, but it wasn’t intended for official display.
Aside from the obvious Star Trek gag*, I would note that the Reagan Hologram was already displayed at the 1984 Convention. Nancy waved at it.
*Okay, obvious to me.
So Clint gets on stage, mutters for 10 minutes or so, and gets off … does this change anyone’s mind?
@nojo: A fake prezidint at a fake convention celebrating an incredibly fake party and party platform.
You’d think the end result would be a singularity.
@blogenfreude: Honestly? Clint upstages Mitt. No way around it.
@nojo:
To be fair, Clyde the Orangutan from “Every Which Way But Loose” would upstage Mitt.
@blogenfreude: Would that be the Clint Eastwood who said this:
“These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage?” Eastwood opined. “I don’t give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We’re making a big deal out of things we shouldn’t be making a deal out of.”
“They go on and on with all this bullshit about ‘sanctity’ — don’t give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want.”

@Dodgerblue: You’ve just proved that Republicans are a big tent party. See, they don’t object to people expressing different opinions. Where they have difficulty is allowing anyone to mention what their true goals are.
