— Ace He also... compliments Republicans.
I don't know if claims he makes at the end are true -- at the end he claims Obama lost every single age demographic except the young. In fact, now that I ponder this, it's simply preposterous. I actually hate myself for even wondering about it for two seconds.
He and his liberal host both agree that Democrats just aren't that enthused about Obama. Because of economic despair.
Yes, that tends to put a hitch in your giddyup.
On the other hand, he called Clint Eastwood a crazy old man.
In related news, Michael Moore is not getting any younger, saner, or thinner.

Looks like MM takes up a lot of space and eats a helluva lot. That's not very environmentally friendly of him. Oh, and why is he a multi-millionaire? Shouldn't he be giving money to the disenfranchised? What a silly slob.

Michael Moore made a lot of money....during the Bush years.
How much has he made off of Barky?
Posted by: wheatie at August 31, 2012 04:21 PM (5BAYg)
True, but he was useful then, I doubt if he's useful anymore. Maybe he thinks its his best chance.
Posted by: AmishDude (opinions endorsed by Clint Eastwood) at August 31, 2012 12:23 PM (T0NGe)
I think he made some money off that film about capitalism. The Moore name pretty much guarantees screens because they think lightning will strike twice and they'll get another Fahrenheit 9-11 out of him.
I wish he'd either have a come to Jesus moment or just go away somewhere and retire. He certainly doesn't look healthy, maybe some time away would help.

Okay,q uestion. In that Obama "This seat's taken" picture, it's got the little name plaque, right? It says:
"The President
2009-01-28"
I'm sorry, do we actually make special decorative plates for our elected officials' CHAIRS, identifying who they are and when they gained that position? A little name plate that says "The President," okay. But... seriously?
I know that cutting government spending is more about the big ticket items, but can we start with cutting the "appropriation for the ordering and installation of decorative plaques on office furniture?" Please? Right after we cut the appropriation for making every Speaker of the House their own brass plaque to hang above their door. They can use a plastic nameboard like every other office.

They get it, Barack Obama is already the shadow President. He is running to Louisiana in Romney’s wake because Romney already took over the job. Now the DNC is spreading the idea that “this is just a small storm, so Obama didn’t feel he had to go.”
Right newsies/DNC it was so small you were complaining the RNC should have cancelled Tampa to “honor the victims of Issac”….
we are getting the message out AROUND them.

I think Michael Moore has seen his 'relevance level' wane in recent years....under a liberal in the White House.
He's run out of things to make "edgy documentaries" about.
He can't criticize Barky.
He probably figures he could make a fortune out of making protest films about Romney.

"You hear some of his [Romney's] opponents how he's a robot, he's mechanical. No, he's just a private person who does amazing things and we saw some of that last night," Walker said. "I just wish, frankly, I would have rather seen that than Clint Eastwood during the prime time."
Now he characterized Eastwood as "the one moment I cringed about"....

I wouldn't blame Walker. I was cringing a little as I watched it. I had no idea what he was doing and I felt a little bad that he seemed to be winging it and lost his place.
It was such a refreshing change, though, and shook up the whole thing so much, it was brilliant.

Definitely - This^^^^. We ain't gonna win playing softball.
Let's not forget - Eastwood is an actor/director and therefore also an entertainer. I think there was very little "improv" going on. He clearly had thought about what he wanted to say and how (chair) he wanted to say it. He scripted it perfectly. It only "looked" like he was bumbling - he wasn't.

Yeah, sven.....it was devastating, on several levels.
I guess some people have forgotten....or are too young to know....that the 'shtick' that Clint was using was a classic comedy routine.
It was....'The rambling old dude, with lethal zingers'....routine.
Some comedians even used to 'act old'...in order to do a routine like that.
They would feign the same..."um, er, uh's"....in order to try to pull it off.

back then, "more serious roles" went to Brando and the rebel without a cause, James Dean.
You remember the old tv western series with Clint Eastwood "Rawhide" and the other one with Steve McQueen "Wanted: Dead or Alive." They played serious guys from the get go. The roles grew with their respective careers, naturally.

Late to the thread of course, but I did watch the Moore interview.
Quite interesting, and he does indeed criticize Obama, although not for the right reasons.
He thinks the dem's are going to lose, which is interesting.

@240, 211......Sven
Clint Eastwood has always enjoyed delivering hilarious, deadpan lines.
I remember seeing him on Johnny Carson one time.....saying that he always wanted to be a comedian.
But, because of his looks...he knew he couldn't pull it off well.
So he went the thespian route.
His 'Every Which Way But Loose' movies....were comedy gold, though.

He thinks that Romney's going to win like Reagan in 1980.

It's a good sign that he thinks that. Because Weld travels in very moderate-liberal circles.
