What do I think about this? I can sum it up in a few short bullet points.
- This is funny
- Clint is an old man
- He's saying a lot of things that neither Mitt nor Ryan can say
- It's supposedly unscripted (I'll buy that) so we can't blame the RNC for it
- Clint is 82 damn years old
- How many 82 year old men do you know don't ramble?
- It has nothing to do with anything
- Except maybe pulling attention away from the issues at hand.
While we're all pointing and laughing at a batty old man being obscene and hawking old catch phrases, Mitt isn't answering any questions. Ryan is also not having to account for the gross inaccuracies in HIS speech. We're all too busy talking about Clint Eastwood, who means exactly "fuck-all" to the future of this country's government.
I'm getting just cynical enough to believe this WAS some stunt Clint was put up to (or came up with himself, the man IS a smart dude) to muddy the waters. Not that the average American voter tries too hard to see through the murk--that's not the point.
The point is, if someone IS to say, "Wait a minute, why exactly did Ryan make all that crap up?" and start looking into the facts there had better be plenty of distractions and obstacles in the way. And Clint Eastwood being loony-tunes is a WONDERFUL distraction.
That's really all I have to say about Clint and his chair.
