"I said, God this guy is too handsome to be governor but he does look like he could be president."

"As the years have gone by I'm beginning to think even more so that."

Dirty Harry thinks we should hold a beauty contest to decide the next leader of the free world?

Your meds must have some drastic side affects.

I don't know. I think it's pretty entertaining and funny. I think it's even funnier that people take serious actors as political mouthpieces. In grad school (2008), one of the guys there earnestly claimed that John Stewart was the most respected political reporters. Ha!; 8/4/12, 5:13 PM
Michael K said...: Clint has more than most actors to say. Like Reagan, he has been in the real world. Eastwood has run a restaurant named "Hog's Breath" in Carmel for years. The city council gave him a hard time on a zoning issue 25 years ago so he ran for city council and served as mayor for a while.

When slimy trial lawyers were going around and suing small business because of allegations about handicapped access, which small business owners didn't have the means to resist, Eastwood took them to court and got the slimes disbarred.

He knows a thing or two, like Reagan.; 8/4/12, 5:16 PM

Ken said...: Jake,

Mittens has also been endorsed by Jenna Jameson, "The Queen of Porn."

Aren't liberals supposedly open minded and non-judgmental? So what's up with this? Is there something wrong with being "The Queen of Porn"? Should Mitt be ashamed of Jenna's endorsement?

When you’re rich, you want a Republican in office.

Because the democrat president thinks someone else made those riches happen, that rich people don't work that hard and aren't that smart. That just about encapsulates the lib philosophy: "you didn't make that happen" and "spread the wealth".; 8/4/12, 5:35 PM

And then what?

Note the complete inability to say what this is supposed to mean.

And remember when you silly leftists pretended porn was art?

Now porn is icky & bad.

PS: I'd rather be endorsed by Jameson than by Hugo Chavez.

Idiot.; 8/4/12, 5:44 PM
edutcher said...: I know what you're thinkin' did I blow 5 trillion or only 4?

Well, since this is the 2012 election, most powerful device against bad government made and will repeal your stinkin' legacy into nothing, you have to ask yourself one big question...

Dirty Mitty?

Or Fidel Castro.

Yeah, now the Lefties are going to go all icky-poo at the idea of a PORN STAR, a FALLEN WOMAN endorse the Romster.

Sandra Fluck should slap his face.

So that's why Obama's running such a shitty campaign! He wants Romney to win. He is rich, after all.; 8/4/12, 6:00 PM

Dust Bunny Queen said...: Clint has a ranch up in our area. He is an unassuming guy. Doesn't come up so much anymore, but it wasn't unusual to see him at the local grocery store with his John Deere cap on. Conservative and treats his ranch hands and employees very well. He is reasonable and not a prima donna by any stretch of the imagination. My husband has done work on the ranch.

Nice nice down to earth guy.

This endorsement will help Romney and also Mr. Eastwood too.; 8/4/12, 6:33 PM

who made movies tough and dirty

He went to endorse
a politician of course

So Jenna can keep shakin her booty.; 8/4/12, 6:38 PM
Christopher in MA said...: Oh, honestly, Ken and Jay, it's perfectly obvious why Jake brought up Jenna Jameson. You see, she's a - gasp! - PORN ACTRESS! And, of course, being the intolerant, puritanical, God-fellating, sister-humping busybodies that we are, knowing that such a scarlet woman endorses Mitt, Jake knows we will abandon him and either stay home or vote for Obama.

It's just another version of Silky Pony's "I wish you well with your LESBIAN daughter, Mr. Vice President."

Jake's just mad because we won't live down to his caricature of us.; 8/4/12, 6:56 PM
Brian Brown said...: And, of course, being the intolerant, puritanical, God-fellating, sister-humping busybodies that we are

Heh!

Exactly.; 8/4/12, 7:28 PM
Tim said...: There's a "Definition of a Liberal" that's been floating around: One who thinks it's o.k. for your 18 year old daughter to work as a porn actress, as long as she's paid the minimum wage.

Addendem: ...and she never endorses a Republican for president.

I'm guessing after seeing the dorky bicycle riding, throws-like a girl while wearing Mom-jeans, Jenna Jameson decided a real man should be president.; 8/4/12, 7:48 PM
Tim said...: "Jake's just mad because we won't live down to his caricature of us."

That, and noting that when even porn stars think the president is the loser we all know he is, there is no hope for his grifter-in-chief.

So, the question evolves to, "Are you as smart as a porn star?"

Jake Diamond stands up and shouts, "No! I am not!"; 8/4/12, 7:52 PM
traditionalguy said...: Clint is the definition of a realist. he movies he produces are set in reality and then showcases the human courage ingrediant that is real many times.

Clint's reality is the old California coastal area that was once the Mexican headquarters for military and Church missions; and which later became the American center for pruducing seafood and vegitables for the USA, all because of private enterprises and men of vision giving jobs to all comers.

Clint understands Americans. Obama is still trying to replace us with UN Serfs.; 8/4/12, 9:30 PM

Althouse was right. The porn star was taking the piss out:

Have you seen a young Eastwood? He knows all about pretty boys.

In older porn, sometimes it WAS someone else having that orgasm.; 8/5/12, 12:05 AM
Chip Ahoy said...: The porn star is not endorsing Mitt with that comment.

Obviously.

It's a backhanded antiendorsement. WHAP

Wealthy people do not say such things. Authentic Apple product reviewer does not use the phrase 'sleek and trendy'. An economist has no reason to mention Fox News. Three things I saw in one day. She's being absurd or else acknowledging Mormons are great consumers of porn.; 8/5/12, 12:13 AM

JENNA JAMESON CLARIFIES HER ENDORSEMENT OF ROMNEY

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Concerned that her endorsement of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for President would lead to “cheap, easy jokes and innuendo,” porn star Jenna Jameson held a press conference today to explain her headline-making decision.

When asked what initially appealed to her about Mr. Romney, Ms. Jameson said, “He’s the only person who’s assumed more positions than I have.”

The actress said that she researched Mr. Romney’s career thoroughly, and was particularly impressed by his tenure at Bain Capital: “There’s nothing more American, I think, than screwing people you don’t know for money.”

While Mr. Romney’s recent foreign trip drew jeers from his critics, Ms. Jameson hailed his performance: “I respect someone who opens their mouth without thinking.”

The actress, who appeared as the character Holly So Tightly in the film Dirt Merchant, seemed unconcerned by the controversy swirling about Mr. Romney’s bank accounts in Switzerland and the Caymans: “I’ve put my assets in plenty of foreign places.”

Ms. Jameson concluded her presser by reiterating her fulsome support of the G.O.P. candidate: “Mitt Romney will do to all of America what I have already done to half of America.”; 8/5/12, 3:52 AM

This is a hoot coming from the guy who accused me of holding a particular opinion about the MSM, not because I'd actually written anything on the subject, but because, as he admitted, he could imagine me holding that opinion.

Maybe you clowns should stop spending so much time thinking and writing about ME and turn your attention to the blog topics.; 8/5/12, 3:58 AM

He's correct.

Yes, Stewart is a comedian. The other political reporters are jokes....; 8/5/12, 8:07 PM
