From what I saw of Clint Eastwoods speech, it reminded me of when they had a celebrity be a roaster at one of those friar club roasts.

A little too blunt and a little too focused on his own celebrity to get through it.

I feel like people making fun of him are kinda missing the point.

Clint Eastwood isn't an ideologue. He doesn't even really have hard feelings one way or another about most issues. He was a republican, then a democrat and is back as a republican because he just goes for who he think will work and make things better regardless of actual policy.

Hence why he was a republican during the cold war when people like carter were failing. Democrat during the Clinton/Bush Jr era and now a Republican again.

 

Eastwood is a specific kind of one of the "undecided middle" types.
