Dirty Harry and Mitt shoot first ask questions later

Would Mitt Romney give you a warning shot?

OR IS HE THE DIRTY HARRY OF POLITICS?

It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall ... especially if we could listen to a conversation between Mitt the Twit and Dirty Harry.

I think old Mitt could tell Harry a thing or two about shooting first and asking questions second.  I believe the character (Detective Harry Callahan) Clint once played was fairly proficient at the practice of point and shoot.

As effective as point and shoot might seem, it's not the best way to make sure you're correct.

You could compare Mitt's mouth (and his verbal reactions to world events) as a sort of verbal Dirty Harry reaction.  Point and shoot.  Quick as a bunny.  Then bring the truck around and start explaining why your actions were appropriate for the situation.

Do you want Mitt's finger poised over the nuke button?  Really?  Dude might push it just to make sure we're all listening.  Rocket to Russia, baby.  Mitt the Twit to the rescue.

Clint Eastwood portrays a politician

Did we really expect Clint Eastwood's Speech...

to be on a topic of substance?

OF COURSE NOT!

Nobody wants that.  The Romney people probably told Clint all the topics to stay away from -- the economy, religious, abortion, gay rights, etc. -- and that just didn't leave Mr. Eastwood with much to talk about.  So he talked to the chair.

Can you imagine what a meltdown it would have caused if Clint had tried to address something important ... oh, like, say Israel, the war in Afghanistan or marriage equality ... huh?

Clint is pro choice.  Clint is pro marriage equality.  He's from Hollywood, California, you know.

He's not exactly the model Republican National Convention speaker.  He's a big movie star and he claims allegiance to the right, but is he really a capital "r" Republican?

Nope.  No way.

the Eastwood conspiracy theory

Is Clint Eastwood off his rocker

or was he just goofing on the Republicans?

HEY, IT'S STILL OKAY TO DIG ON CLINT!

He's a "stealth democrat."

The pundits at Dog Party! have been pumping up a rumor (that is quickly transitioning to full blown conspiracy theory status) that Clint Eastwood pulled the world's biggest goof on the Republican Party.

The full theory is that Dirty Harry was a wolf in the hen house -- a secret Democratic plant -- sent by the liberal Hollywood left to wipe his butt on the Republican National Convention.  Nothing else would explain his bizarre speech and lackadaisical attitude at the convention.

Eastwood's fickle political stance has been clearly established over his lifetime.  The 80+ year old is admittedly pro choice and favors marriage equality.  He's a political switch hitter, changing up his politics to promote (and even fundraise for) democrats.  While he may be a fiscal conservative, his liberal stance on several core issues would lead one to believe that if he is really a Republican, his views are more closely aligned with the Democratic Party.

So, what we have here is a "California Republican."  A "Left Coast Conservative."  A "Republican on the Rebound."  Which way is the wind blowing today, Clint?

So, rather than really go hog wild for the right, the long, lean spaghetti western stud phoned it in for the Republicans.  And, really, what did they expect?  

You want a true Republican?  You have to get away from the West Coast to find one ... you might even have to go as far as Utah or Wisconsin.

Here's a photo from the late 1950's ... back when the old fart was a young fart.  This is a public domain publicity still from Eastwood's acting in a television show called, "Rawhide."  Check out Mister Angel Eyes.
