Last Thursday nite I was dismayed to watch Clint Eastwood live delivering his now infamous chat with Obama-the-empty-chair.
I thought the skit diminished the prime time pitches by wasting valuable time and setting, setting a wrong tone, and potentially monopolizing the next day news cycle.
Maybe I was wrong …
I think the GOP lucked into something.
First, the Eastwood pitch went viral … landing some grand symbolic punches on Obama (emperor has no clothes, empty suit, etc.) …. and coining a new pop culture expression: “Eastwooding” .
Just Google the word and you’ll see what I mean. It was most-Googled over the weekend.
Here are my favorite web posts … and the White House’s response.
I guess, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than to be smart.
