I like Clint Eastwood, I really do
I even bought all his movies from my neighbor's son at their garage sale a few years back. VHS of course (do people still know what that is? I guess it's not BetaMax). Some still shrink-wrapped. I think Clint's a great actor, director, producer. He speaks his mind and doesn't make apologies. He's the type of guy most guys want to be.
I know I might take some heat for this and I don't like to criticize Dirty Harry, but speaking on behalf of Chrysler in his now famous (or infamous?) Super Bowl ad was one big ass mistake.
Taxpayers lost $1.3 Billion bailing out a bankrupt car company that couldn't get people to buy their shitty cars. So what did they do? Got Uncle Sam to bail them out and then turned around and stiffed the 50% of Americans who still pay taxes with the bill. Works out pretty nice if you're building piss-poor lemons that even government subsidized auto loans and tax credits aren't enough to convince people to pay the exorbitant price for said junk. Sorry Clint; you shat the bed on this one by dumping on all the working stiffs that were forced to pay for Chrysler's remarkable turnaround (lol).
It's not half-time in America. It's not even the fourth quarter. It's double overtime, we're down by 7, there's no time left on the clock, we need a touchdown (and the 2-pt conversion) and the 50-mph sleet just started coming down. We need a miracle. We need Ron Paul. Who, in a funny dose of irony, is someone Clint Eastwood thinks would make just as good a president as flip-flop Mitt or Nobel Peace Prize bomber in chief, Barack. (which sounds good on the surface, but makes clear the point the Clint hasn't a clue what's going on. we'll tackle that sometime else. or never. my choice).
