Twelve Minutes

It’s odd: Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio didn’t fret the liberal pundits much at all but in twelve minutes Clint Eastwood sent them into orbit. After Eastwood’s speech Andrea Mitchell at NBC looked so shocked it seemed she was about to have a stroke.
 
Twitter and the e-world exploded with people calling Eastwood ‘kooky,’ ‘weird,’ ‘absurd,’ and a reporter at The Los Angeles Times wrote, Clint Eastwood has apparently lost his mind.
 
After the salvos started flying even Romney’s staff ran for cover.
 
Clint Eastwood didn’t give a political speech (which I guess is what the pundits expected) and, maybe, all the hollering is because he made his case not as a politician but as edgy, blunt Clint Eastwood, concluding with the most memorable line of the convention:
 
When somebody doesn’t do the job, you gotta let ‘em go.”
