Did the debate prove Clint Eastwood was right about the empty chair?

He didn't do Romney any favors. I feel sorry for Eastwood, but not for the RNC. They should have written his speech and vetted him on it.

We just had days of buildup to the “big secret surprise star” and then this. Clint reminded me of Reverend Jim from Taxi. An actual quote: “Do you just – you know – I know – people were wondering – you don’t – handle that okay.

Now you know why conventions are tightly scripted. So of course, we were rolling in laughter. The Twitter world exploded with empty chair jokes, and Team Romney spent that time DURING Romney’s speech sending out statements trying to spin their way out of the mess.

That was hysterically funny.

CLINT EASTWOOD IS ARGUING WITH AN IMAGINARY OBAMA. #RNC— Jamison Foser (@jamisonfoser) August 31, 2012 A great actor and director isn’t doing much of either tonight. Needs a script badly.

Famous segregationist from Alabama in the 50's and 60's, also speechwriter for some of George Wallace more incendiary words here in AL.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
