Clint Eastwood Gets Cut From Romney RNC Video

[Hugo Chavez]

They should have included it.  This doesn't look good.

A video mash-up of speakers from last week's Republican National Convention does not include an appearance from the " mystery RNC speaker," Clint Eastwood.
 
The two-and-a-half minute video posted today to the Romney campaign's YouTube account features former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, VP nominee Paul Ryan and of course, Romney himself, but it leaves out Eastwood's controversial speech.
 
Eastwood caused a stir at the convention and on Twitter with a rambling speech Thursday night, in which he interviewed an invisible President Obama in a wooden prop chair.

The speech launched a trend called " Eastwooding," and prompted one supporter to tell Vice President Joe Biden, "You gotta keep the chair."

"You got that? The invisible chair," Bev Kalmer of Poland, Ohio said.

White House senior adviser David Plouffe called Eastwood "an American treasure," on ABC's " This Week" Sunday.
 
"We're all Clint Eastwood fans here in the Obama campaign," Plouffe said.
 
A Romney adviser said the presidential candidate found Eastwood's routine funny, but other Republicans worried it disrupted the flow of the final night at the national convention.
 
"I personally think Clint Eastwood was a mistake before he came out," former California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina said today on "Meet the Press."
 
Speaking on the same show, former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called the performance "a distraction."

they would like to forget him, like the 8 years of bush

IMO it looks more desperate that the left is willing to exploit problems in Clint's speech.  Most normal people will cut the guy a break considering how old he is and what he has done with his career.

It's a mistake for the party to admit he was a mistake by omitting him from the RNC Video recap.  They should have gone with what already happened and then poured on more, but nope...  They seem willing to toss Clint under the bus after trying to use him.  And I wouldn't doubt if they held the GM commercial over his head to get him to do this.

The one thing I know is that this should not in any way be what sits on top of Clint's life and work.  He and his work is fucking awesome imo.  I hope this isn't the last shit he is known for.

They've already coined a phrase for it?

Yes.  You know how people were 'tebowing' and 'planking' and 'owling', etc.

Now, you pose while screaming at an empty chair.   Eastwooding.

Insane to think in 10 years, you will run a Google image search for Eastwood and instead of seeing Dirty Harry, you'll see some fat kid screaming at a blue lawn chair.
