Crappy speech!
Keeping with the post’s theme
Can’t wait to see PBO’s speech next week
Came home for the best part, Clint Eastwood and an invisible chair upstaged the nominee at his own damn convention.
OMG – I’m in tears with #eastwooding and @invisibleobama – HAAAAAAAAAAAA
I seriously can’t see or breathe….
BWWAHAHAAA!!
😆 Majestic!!
retweeted – well i would if i wasn’t locked out 🙂
Triple shots for that someone! Oh, & a couple of shots for his makeup person! Carry on, just carry on! 🙂
This stuff is funny. Lol.
Just upped my fundraising goal. 🙂

Sorry I’m not allowed to donate.
I’m not able to be on here very often, but can you explain what that means. (????)
“Not everyone in the hall was an Obama fan. Three demonstrators, two women and one man, who chanted “Democracy is not a business” during the speech were wrestled out of the hall by security.” http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-08-30/gop-convention-romney-nomination/57435234/1?sf5840429=1
Brilliant!
Wow Oh Shit Wolf Blitzer is MAD about Clint Eastwood and he ain’t letting the GOP strategist get away with trying to say that Clint made it okay to make fun of Obama. And Wolf basically went off (for Wolf anyway) about the disrespect of POTUS.
BTW, the GOP hacks said that Clint Eastwood did have a speech, but he basically through it out.
Maybe Wolf is a bit touchy since the peanut thing. He’s never cared one way or another about people being disrespectful to POTUS before ie: TeaNN?
How lame is that excuse?! Made it ok to make fun of Pres.Obama? Bullshit! GOP jokes about PBO have been racist. They weren’t funny. Clint wasn’t funny (at least not in the way he wanted to be) and the birther comment from Mitt is still not funny.
I agree. Perhaps Eastwood doesn’t know what the “Invisible Man” means to African Americans. Perhaps we should send a copy of this classic novel written by Ralph Ellison to Eastwood, the RNC and the Romney campaign. This was deeply offensive, even if it wasn’t planned and Eastwood didn’t know what he was doing. NO national convention should allow speakers who are unscripted to ramble on. That “skit” was deeply offensive, and disrespectful. All African Americans deserve an apology, and a good start would be for Eastwood and the Romney campaign to apologize to the President.
Wish I had seen Wolf’s hair on fire.
Yes, I was turning of another channel, and caught Anderson, Ari, Alex C. and Wolf, and Wolf’s hair was really on fire. I do not like Wolf, but he must of had a moment of reality, and he lit into Alex. He even had the tape rolled back again, and told Alex that he would continue his conversation with him in private. He was on fire. About time. HZ
Thanks for the recap, HZ. Will try to watch a clip, if I can bear it.
Saw that live Chips. I was laughing my ass off. The thing is that the Romney camp was trying to be too cute by half and got bit in the ass.
That shit was on national TV. Which means that non-political radio DJ, entertainment journalist, pop television, blogs, twitter you name it will be reporting on how crazy Clint Eastwood made a fool not just of himself but of Romney too.
I expect Clint to get bigger headline and buzz than Mitt’s speech.
Hollering!!!! 😆 😆 😆
They didn’t know what to do!
They look like they are struggling to keep down their lunch.
Shorter Andrea: Boy done lost his mind!
Damn, she recognized kinfolk?! LOL!
CHIPSSSSS: Apparently we need a TODer Twitter Brigade Rehabilitation and Re-assignment Program. Pronto.
Just donated $3 for Hubby, $3 for me and $3 for my doggie peep for the next 3 months. I don’t have much but I hope we can get 10 or 15 million peeps giving the same amount.
Aww, your doggie is named “peep”? How cute!

You all have to click. Hilarious.
OMG! this is too much, its laugh out loud madness….:)
Woops. Forgot the link.

And on twitter

Ooooooooh dear:
Well now Mel Gibson will have someone to hang out with now that Clint’s career is over.
I don’t know how to bring a tweet over… but here is one that I think is very thoughtful & puts an important light on Eastwood’s weirdness tonight:
The image of an old white man putting a fantasy black man in his place, Eastwood’s “I won’t shut up. It’s my turn,” is deeply telling.
Retweeted by Rocky
Ok this is my last one tonight 😆
And it’s a good one, Baby O’Donna!
Jon Stewart did a great job skewering ryan tonight.
Really looking forward to the Democratic National Convention, which will be flawless on stage and off, I’m guessin’. I just want to bleach my brain after this week.
All great news for John McCain
OMG Please make it stop. Eastwood/Chair 2012. 😆 😆 too much!!!!
http://twicsy.com/?search=eastwooding AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what Dave Letterman will say……anyone watching?
HI Folks
Thanks for the blogging and sending tweets so I didn’t have to watch the YUK.
I just saw the vdieo of Clint Eastwood and did not find the part where he said fumugate the white house. What part of the speech was that in? I must have missed it.
No Clint did not make that statement, It was something Pat Boone had said a while back..that the WH needed to be fumigated once the Obama’s moved in.
Thanks carla4obama – my mistake
Your welcome!
😆
Also Kitteh
President Barack Obama has driven these muthafuckers absolutely and utterly bonkers. What the hell else could explain an actor obviously in the throes of Alzheimers TALKING TO AN EMPTY CHAIR AT A POLITICAL CONVENTION!?!?!?!?
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 *deep breath* 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
UGH.
Actual, Eastwood goes GHOSTAL…….”I see presidents”
Just quick donated—-zap! Does anyone know where I can check on how much I’ve donated? Remember checking all the time in ’08. Think that was on Huff Post—-but that site is still just showing old donations, no current ones.
Ha!
hahahahahahahahahahaha………….this is gonna be the meme that won’t die… I can’t even believe this shit………i may have to get on twitter…..woooo chile…..
OMG!!
I love how everybody just got up and said to themselves, I’m gonna photograph my chair and put it on twitter.
Y’all have to stop this! If I yell out one more time I’m afraid my hubby is gonna have me committed. 😆
I gave $130. the other day over Romney’s birther bs… more than I’ve ever given at once before & I’m just at my limit this month. I told a dem caller last night (calling for donations) that I wish I had ten million dollars- I’d give every penny to POTUS right now.
So would I sherijr.
Me too, me too!
Betsy, I hope your day back at school on Tues., was fine. Thinking good thoughts for you.((((((((HZ))))))
Me too.
Me three. I just could not believe what I was seeing or hearing from Clint. I have no respect for him al All now. This man knew what he was saying. Ari F. GW’s old press sec., said Romney’s team had a script for Clint, but he refused to use it. I heard that on Cnn at the end of my wine evening. These people caused me to have over my limit tonight. It was a pile of shit directed at a decent and wonderful president. Shameful is not even close IMO of what Clint did tonight. HZ
You all have to check out #EastWooding on Twitter. Hilarious!
🙂 🙂 🙂
I LOVE THIS! 😀
LOL. naughty invisible Obama. lol
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/08/30/778781/rnc-thursday/ I think RWNJ’s are shitting their pants.
11:40: Castellanos on Eastwood’s bizarre speech: “If you thought Republicans had a gender gap yesterday, wait until tomorrow.”
11:38: Former Romney adviser Alex Castellanos on CNN: “He didn’t answer the question that is on everybody’s mind, which is he didn’t offer anything new. He just wanted to go back to Bush. And at some point, Candy Crowley is going to be moderating a debate. Barack Obama is going to turn to MItt Romney and say, ‘here is what I want to know: you’ve said nothing new tonight.’”
11:30: The Romney campaign has issued a statement explaining that Eastwood’s performance “can’t be measured through a typical political lens.” Meanwhile, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) told CNN that the actor was “absolutely terrific.”
11:29: On CNN, former Reagan adviser David Gergen said Romney’s speech lacked substance. “If there were any tough choices laid out tonight, I didn’t hear them. I think they skirted that.”
11:36: Two people were escorted out of the convention hall holding Code Pink signs and one reading, “Democracy is not a business.”
Cryptkeeper Jan must have been hitting the sauce hard tonight. She does that.
Alex fucking Castellanos is panning the speech? Jesus Joseph and Mary! I might have the vapors.
Oh, good, another hater on with Piers Morgan – Jon Voight. He says Clint’s chair joke was “very entertaining,” for the people there. Boring.
Why are you looking at that shit jc?
Uh, must be the cold medicine! (Don’t worry – I stopped.) 🙂
AMK, this had me LOL, tears streaming down, beely aching!
RT @MeatMaven: I’m going to start carrying an empty chair with me everywhere I go so I’ll always have someone to argue with! #eastwooding

I mean, can you believe that idiot Romney BOUGHT a trend? I know you can buy a promotion but I didn’t realize you could buy a freakin hashtag and a TREND. PATHETIC.
THE GO BACK TEAM
=====================
Romney and Ryan want to take us back to the failed, top-down economic ideas of the past.
http://www.barackobama.com/romney/ryan/
So Eastwood sit around talking to empty chairs. Go ahead make my day.
“Go Ahead…Make my Daybed!” 🙂
One of the revelers outside of the convention site said “Clint Eastwood is why we need Obamacare!”

LMAO! The cartoonists and late-night comedians have enough material for the remainder of this year, just from Eastwood’s invisible Obama chair routine.
I think Eastwood was denigrating President Obama by talking to an empty chair. IMO, the empty hair equals “empty suit”. He also kept using the “F bomb” as though President Obama was cursing. I heard someone say that President Obama doesn’t curse like that.
Actually I’ve heard that PBO curses alot! They all do – what’s amazing about PBO is that he has the self control to never let slip in public. He’s of the generation that said ‘F’ every other word so good on him for setting a good example in public. I have been crying with laughter at the ‘invisible obama’ – funnier and cleverer than eastwooding IMHO although both are great
I never thought this night would be so entertaining! Hil—arious! Chairs are so funny! Who knew?
Somebody tell the #GOP #pretendobama mythical, but @BarackObama is real and good for America. #ocra #p2 #tlot #TCOT #Eastwooding
A shiny new Eastwooding post:

in. tears.
Darn, UT, made the mistake of scrolling down instead of going to bed, laughing all the way down to this! Then I just LOL! Never thought this night would be so damn funny! My midriff is getting the best exercise — laughter!
LOL.. Daily Show:

These last two girls have set Blondies back 1000 years!
Tonight has turned out a lot better than I thought it would.
Do you think, what with Clint and his early onset alzheimers, actually thought PBO was sitting in the chair? Just sayin’!
When the smoke clears, I think a few talking heads are gonna be out of a job. My sense is there is starting to be a strong desire for the MSM to promugated the truth. There are a few out there that have no idea what truth is or how to report it. It won’t be the only contest going on in the country.
Ha- tell me our President isn’t the smartest, most quick witted person around… tweeting “this Chair is taken” sitting in his The President chair. Outstanding!
DH just told me this: apparently Clint Eastwood was a last minute replacement. The RNC originally wanted a Reagan hologram, but it was scrapped because they feared HoloReagan wuld be more interesting than R-Money and because the company that does the holograms refused to let them use it.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but I missed it if it was.
Eastwood – change his diaper, give him his meds, and put him to bed.
