The Republican's surprise guest?
Yep he was surprising all right!
It's Buzz60 Politics, I'm Jay DeDapper.
Clint Eastwood stole the final night of the
Republican convention from Mitt Romney with
a, um, performance that will live in viral
video for years to come.
“So Mr. President, how do you handle, how
do you handle promises you made when you were
running for election.
And how do you handle, how do you handle it.
What do you say to people?
Do you just, you know I know people, people
were wondering…you, uh, don’t handle it.
Okay.”
Wild.
Nobody quite knew what to say.
Here are the Top 3 reactions.
Number 1: Rachel Maddow.
“That was the weirdest thing I’ve seen
at a political convention in my entire life
and it will be the weirdest thing to be if
I live to be 100.”
Number 2:
Chris Cilizza at the Washington Post Tweeting:
What.
Is.
Happening.
And Number 3:
The Romney campaign itself: “Judging an
American icon like Clint Eastwood through
a typical political lens doesn't work.
His ad libbing was a break from all the political
speeches, and the crowd enjoyed it.”
How worried was the Romney campaign?
They released that statement while Mitt Romney
was giving the speech of his life.
They couldn’t even wait til he was finished.
Oh and then one more from about 90 minutes
after Eastwood was done – from Barack Obama
– via Twitter.
The caption reads: “This seat’s taken”
Let the meme begin!
