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.

He has donated to both parties and I remember him vocally supporting Gray Davis, but I think he's been pretty consistently Republican, actually. He's pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pretty consistently anti-war, and considers himself more of a libertarian, but I guess he chooses the Republicans because the Libertarian Party is almost impossible to actually support.

Meh, that's what I get for trusting The Atlantic for once.
Figured if anyone had a motive to portray him as a constant rightwing goon or something it would be them.

Ahh the Atlantic, another one of those faithless bastard employers who never acknowledge your existence.
In short: they can rot.

Not the response I would of expected. Do they have really immoral practices like the Huffington Post where they bleed dry contributors and steal content by slighting changing it?
Or was it more of a "never called you back" on an interview type thing?
I generally prefer them as my "Particularly biased leftwing source" becaues of the aforementioned Hufffington post issues.
Can't tell if Ariana Huffington is really a liberal who just has a HUGE disconnect at praticing what she preaches, or if she is just playing people for the money.
Either way she's about as ruthless and corrupt a media moghul as you'd get.
Rupert Murdoch's got nothing onher. Well, except for Rupert Murdochs ability to "Go with the flow." as evidenced by when he switched sides to Labor in the UK.
