A lot of people I've spoken to did not like Clint Eastwood's stand up comedy routine at the Republican National Convention. Personally, soon as Clint Eastwood introduced the chair, I suspected he was not following convention rules. I question the reasoning of those who allowed Clint Eastwood to talk for five minutes.
.
Why would anyone familiar with Clint Eastwood expect him to follow rules. Even when he was acting in his spaghetti westerns, he would scratch out dialogue that he thought was unnecessary. I think that's why he was chosen for the characters he played. Though he was not the violent person he played in those movies, his personality certainly complemented the characters he played..
I heard that visitors to his house were greeted by a hangman's noose. Eastwood intended it as a joke.
Anyway, his speech at the Republican National Convention was absolutely hilarious. He should have performed this comedy act on a late night talk show. He should not have taken up an extra fifteen minutes to perform it at the Republican National Convention.
Below, I provide a link to a book review. The book is titled 'Clint: The Life and Legend.' It was written by Patrick McGilligan.
