Why are people making such a fuss about Clint Eastwood's performance at the closing of the Republic Convention? Why are they picking on this wonderful movie icon and ridiculing him? Could it be that he hit a little too close to home? I thought he was charming, amusing and different and that he brought his point across very well. The chair was symbolic and it should not be taken literally. The chair could represent many things including "an empty suit," and we all know what that means. They're making fun of his line "go ahead, make my day" when it was very appropriate to the occasion. He meant "make my day" by electing Mitt Romney. I'm glad Ben Aflleck was the only one in Hollywood who had the sense to defend him. I'm sure Mr. Eastwood couldn't care less about the actors, comedians, twitters or bloggers of the world who are piling up on him now because he knows what he is and what he did. He stood up alone and away from the liberals of Hollywood in that stage and basically said "if something ain't working you fix it" and that took guts because unfortunately this brave performance of his will be his epitaph in this society, the media will see to that, distorting everything the way they are now. I keep hearing "bizarre" to describe his performance, but what's "bizarre" about it is the overreaction to it.
