Bill Maher defends Clint Eastwood's performance:

One of our many talented conservative video-geniuses really should put together a pro-Romney ad using the many terrific lines from Eastwood's RNC performance. The reason the Left is so angry at Eastwood is because America's last remaining icon brilliantly mocked Their Precious One and they can't stand that.

Though he doesn't agree with the man's politics, Maher looks at what Eastwood did strictly from the standpoint of performance and has to admire what he saw:

On his HBO show on Friday, Maher gave the actor “props” for pretending that President Obama was sitting in an empty chair next to him onstage.

“As a performer, as a stand-up comedian for 30 years who knows how hard it is to get laughs, excuse me, he went up there … without a net, on a tightrope. There was no teleprompter. He did a bit with just an empty chair and killed,” Maher said. “He committed to it, it was consistent and it worked.”

“People have been saying for years: these conventions are too scripted, they’re too slick, they’re too overproduced,” he added. “A guy who went up there who wasn’t slick … and killed with the crowd? I gotta give him props for that.”​

More at the corrupt Politico.

When Eastwood's appearance first began, I was dying inside. But after a couple of minutes, it all came together and like the people in the hall I was cheering.

What Eastwood did is what I saw Andrew Breitbart do every once in a while. To keep you riveted, Andrew would make it seem as though the speech was just about to go completely off the rails -- before brilliantly bringing it all together at the last possible moment. One of Andrew's CPAC appearances about gave me a stroke. But by the time he was done, it was the most memorable speech of the event.

Maher's "tightrope without a net" analogy is perfect. Every time Eastwood looked like he was about to fall, he'd nail his point and his joke. It was exhilarating and it most certainly drew blood.

For those running around claiming Eastwood's appearance caused a distraction, that's just plain spin. Bill Maher Defends Eastwood: He 'Killed'​

The only intelligent one in that pic is the empty chair.

Like I thought, you are stupid.

Cons still attempting to make Clint's appearance an advantage, instead of the ill-timed disaster that it was.

Libs making up it was a disaster, of course, libtards always make up stuff.

Obviously Ann Romney was disappointed.

Like I said, Clint acted like a batshit crazy person who was yelling at an inanimate object.

A good number of Romney's team were distancing themselves from this embarrassment.

Any moron can create an imaginary strawman and debate it. Just look at the rightwingers on this board. It's too bad that Clint couldn't even do this in a coherent manner.

There is only one moron in this thread, Dick, and he's using your avatar.

You call that a flame? What idiot doesn't know about basic logic that knows only a loser argues against a strawman? Besides, Clint Eastwood, that is.

It wasn't a flame, it was just pointing to the obvious, Dick.

The obvious is that you know next to nothing about logical argument. Only a moron would argue a strawman, constructed by a batshit crazy guy, who was yelling at a chair.

You're the one who bitched about shooting the messenger, when the message was an imaginary brainfart strawman.

Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent out CDs containing the song to 168 other RNC members as a Christmas gift, hoping to bolster his 2009 campaign for RNC chair. The move backfired, Saltsman dropped his bid to head the RNC, and ultimately African American Republican Michael Steele won the chairmanship.

Wow............just fucken Wow.

Still, the L.A. Times coined the phrase. A Liberal paper coined the phrase. Bill and Hillary Clinton made all of the racist attacks against Obama during the 08' primaries, not McCain.

Now, do you still want to talk about some bigot that was a candidate for the RNCs chairmanship or do you want to talk about folks that were accepted by the RNC?

Just because some bigot used the song doesn't mean the Republican Party accepted him. If they had he would have won. Seems to me the kind of thing Democraps like, not Republicans. Being an asshole.....like Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Barack Obama and such.
