They know when it’s the ninth inning at the ballpark too.

Judge Judy would make the perfect Trump VP. Thanks for the laugh. Imagine her on the podium at the convention saying he didn’t pick me because I’m gorgeous, he picked me because I’m smart…

Clint Eastwood is a great example of people who I actively avoid associating their work with their personal views. I like his films too much to be disturbed by the fact that he is a right wing nutjob.

Bah, political correctness. Orange American, phooey! They are Cheetos!
Boehner has become a much more fun human being since he left Congress. Who knew he had a sense of humor!?
From the same interview.
"“I think my proudest accomplishment is walking out of there the same jackass I was 25 years before.”
On the Freedom Caucus members who ousted him
"Knuckleheads."

Clyde would make a splendid Veep for Trump, I must say.

Wasn’t he (pre-chair) formerly more from the saner side of the Republican party?
Probably don’t want to read too much about his personal life either if you don’t want to be put off him.

According to Wikipedia, he has been a Republican since the Eisenhower years. Definitely not of the “social conservative” bent. I take back my statements about being a right wing nut. He is pro-choice, pro-marriage equality, anti-foreign conflict. He also regretted the “empty chair thing” and claimed he more or less pulled that one out of his ass without preparation.
As for his personal life, from what I read he is a jerk, at least when it came to the women in his life. I remember someone asked him in a TV interview about the fact he had several children with a couple of women he was not married to at the time. His calm affable demeanor evaporated. His eyes started to narrow and gave the signature Dirty Harry look. Eastwood responded with, “Don’t ever ask me a question like that again”.
That being said, I absolutely adore “White Hunter, Black Heart”. A film he did because Warner Brothers gave him more or less a “free pass” for directing and starring in “The Rookie”. He got to play real life sonofabitch director/actor John Huston.

I never understood the ridicule/hate he got for The Chair. God forbid a speech at a political convention be something other than a tightly scripted series of meaningless content-free platitudes and creepy cult cheerleading. At least he tried something different.

Eastwood was trying something besides the cheerleading thing. It was a disaster but a memorable one. More memorable than any other event during that convention.

More remarkably, they seem to know how long a game is going to take, and whether it will run to extra innings. The Giants’ broadcasters generally check in with the gulls periodically during close games.

I just got the impression that after all his success at acting and directing he decided to try his hand at performance art.

I think he was ahead of his time, basically laying out for us the path of the GOP’s descent from madness into utter derangement. Truly a King Lear for our age.

That is such a perfect metaphor for the current state of the party. The murderous, power-mad sociopath Goneril is Trump, the vile and deceitful Regan is Cruz, and the sweet selfless Cordelia is… um…
OK, we may need to work on that part.

There’s stupid rhetoric, and then there’s offensively stupid rhetoric. Blaming Obama for the Afghan occupation was the latter.

I won’t, but Hillary’s secret Rodham Family Arkansas Hit Squad might not take too kindly to that joke.
