Clint Eastwood's chair bit the most memorable part of RNC

The news media are saying that Clint Eastwood's Aug. 30 "talk" at the Republican National Convention was weird. They say the campaign must have been fretting. I actually thought the chair was brilliant. Once you realize Clint was speaking without a script and maybe having some senior moments, that he regrouped and brought in the chair -- it was just sitting there; organizers must have put there in case he couldn't stand. If Clint had them set the stage like this, well, he's a really smart guy. Yes, it was a little risqué, a little too long. Still, the chair was genius.

In case you missed the presentation:

You don't bring in someone of Clint's stature and then complain.

Then someone just posted this picture as a reply. The chair might be the single thing we remember from the Republican National Convention.
