Clint Eastwood cited for mis-use of car pool lane.

You know why Clint Eastwood doesn't go to IKEA? He doesn't speak Swedish.

Did you hear that Clint Eastwood wet his pants at the RNC? All the stalls and urinals were occupied.

You know why they booked Clint Eastwood for a Romney rally? He guaranteed them every seat would be full.

What is Mitt Romney's favorite Clint Eastwood title? A: Fistful of Dollars

But when he got there, all the pews were full, so he went to the saloon down the street.

He stood at the bar because, well, you know.

disgusting.

Eastwood has never, to my knowledge, performed before a live audience. Every film he's been in contained opportunities for multiple takes which offered editors multiple editing choices when putting together a tight and precise product.

One of my parents was a prolific artist whose mind was destroyed by Alzheimer's. The artist could no longer even recognize the artist's own work.

There's not a goddamn thing funny about that.

6. Eastwood does not have cognitive issues -- he knew there was no one in the chair.

It was just ad lib that was poorly conceived.

He had nothing good to say about Romney so he spent his 11 minutes stuffing foul words into the mouth of a very eloquent President who would never utter words like "shut up" and "go f--k yourself." He implied with throat slashing and 'make my day' that physical harm should come to Obama.

THAT is disgusting.
