Clint Eastwood’s Crazy Old Man Speech at the Republican National Convention Is Must-See TV

August 31, 2012 by Roger Ratchet

Thursday night at the Republican National Convention was supposed to be GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney‘s night, but crazy old man Clint Eastwood stood his thunder in a hilariously unscripted, rambling 10-minute-plus senior citizen moment.

Eastwood, who is 82 years old, got on stage and began his speech by pointing out that there are indeed conservatives in Hollywood.

Okay. Thanks for the newsflash there, Clint. This is a bit like coming on stage and saying there are gay people singing in the church choir. It’s not really a secret, but okay, we’ll indulge.

He then proceeds to have a long, disjointed discussion with his chair, which is supposedly occupied by an invisible Barack Obama.

So for half of Eastwood’s speech, he has his face turned to the side of the crowd as he carries on a conversation with the invisible commander in chief in that empty chair.

Not even SNL could have come up with great live television to compete with this.

Watch Clint Eastwood’s wacky speech from the RNC below:

You know what’s even scarier? This crazy old man is set to direct Beyonce in a remake of the movie A Star Is Born.

We can only imagine how it’ll turn out at this point.

    This was so funny , great , and spoken from the heart. You call him crazy but I would suggest supporting Obama for another 4 years of what we have had , well that would be crazy.

  • Born in America

    so so sad!!! any man that gets in the office has to clean up another mans mess, no one will ever be good enough for the job, the next man will fall short of the promises he’s made so really whats the point!!! and do we really think this other guy is going to fix every issue that Americans has please it’s not going to happen. we will always be lead by promises of a man that says he can do better, yeah right!!! the next man can’t fix it, won’t fix it and he won’t die trying to fix it!!!! face it you can’t have it all, it’s just not a perfect world, if it were we all would be living in harmony!!!!
