Clint Eastwood at the Republican Convention

Of course, I have nothing but contempt for the politicians who spoke at the Republican convention. I give a pass to speakers who aren't politicians, like Ann Romney, who gave a great speech, even if her story about her husband's struggle to start Bain Capital is fictitious. (In fact, Bill Bain promised him that if it didn't work out he could have his old job at Bain & Co. back, with missed raises, and a face-saving cover story, too. Wish I had a deal like that when I started my companies.)

HOWEVER, am I the only one who liked Clint Eastwood's speech? It was funny! He had an invisible Obama talking dirty! Saying "go fuck yourself" to Dirty Harry on stage with 20 million people listening! Telling the Man With No Name to shut up! Eastwood might have even said that the troops in Afghanistan should come home tomorrow, which I agree with, or perhaps he was being sarcastic. Anyway, did any of my friends like this speech as much as I did?
