Walked Out Of Room & Threw Up" When He Saw Eastwood/Chair

[240 is Back]

New Book: Romney's Chief Strategist "Walked Out Of Room & Threw Up" When He Saw Eastwood/Chair


For inside-baseball readers, there’s plenty to chew on. The tale of how a man worth more than $200 million let his campaign go dead in the summer because he could not match Obama’s $150 million in attack ads on Bain Capital, Romney’s former financial roost, is too good to summarize. Then there are the Monty Python moments. Balz informs us that when Stuart Stevens, Romney’s chief strategist, saw Clint Eastwood on live television at the Republican National Convention speaking off-script to an imaginary Obama in an empty chair, “he walked out of the room and threw up.”

Real nice, how they throw Eastwood under the bus.

It's fucked up, but I can totally picture the guy already overwhelmed seeing Eastwood talking to the chair and just going "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

I didn't know what the fuck was happening for the first 10 seconds, I thought Clint lost his marbles.

Jon Stewart did a pretty hilarious monologue about it.
Jon's skit probably would have been funnier, had it not had such a realistic ring to it, implying Eastwood had gone senile, ...and had that possibility not crossed the minds of so many viewers at the time. Sad!

Jon Stewart is a fucking loser.

He's a pathetic gay midget who now thinks he's a movie director.

Perhaps, ...but his Clint Eastwood monologue nailed it!

PS: Your pathetic gay midget also happens to be the most trusted man in America. What does that say?

Nothing good.

I've long wept for my nation.
