THE FIVE BEST PICTURES OF EMPTY CHAIRS FROM THE EASTWOOD-INSPIRED #EMPTYCHAIRDAY TWITTER TREND

Clint Eastwood’s performance at the Republican National Convention last Thursday sparked a raft of conflicted reactions from the political commentariat. Many liberals sneered at the speech as a grotesque bit of exploitative theater – Dirty Harry meets Honey Boo Boo – while others, including Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, applauded the speech for its comedic timing. Conservatives, too, had mixed reactions, with some bemoaning the speech’s potential for distraction on a night that should have belonged to GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney, while others found it hilarious and cutting in its unscripted genuineness.

Great idea! Just what an old man with Alzheimers needs.An empty presidential chair with rollers so he can push himself around the room or just imagine himself in front of a camera,speaking complete jibberish to the entire nation.Trendworthy? Of course not,but this is America,so lower standards can be expected.

I get what Mr. Eastwood was saying. I am not an idiot. I also think it was stupid.
