Clint Eastwood feels 'sorry' for Clinton

Put yourself in the place of : You’ve gone out there and made a thousand speeches, and you’ve shaken a million hands and you’ve been out there working your ass off,” Eastwood said. “And then somebody comes up and says, ‘Why don’t you just drop out of it?’”

The actor/director/producer/jazz aficionado — who had his own brush with politics as mayor of Carmel, Calif. — said Clinton’s fortunes could change: Barack Obama could trip over himself"

Or get shot. :eyes:

4. WTF? Why didn't Romney and Huckabee and Edwards all stay in then--
because after all, ANYTHING could happen to the frontrunners! And Hillary wants to be the FIRST VULTURE IN LINE when disaster strikes!! Why is this being offered, over and over, as a reason to continue a hopeless campaign? It's not like we won't have a backup choice.

7. to be fair, if you watch movies he's produced, it's clear Eastwood doesn't believe in happy endings
i don't actually hate Eastwood, he may be a Republican, but he's not a very good one. :P

8. He voted for Bush both times and likes McCain


Eastwood had this to say about the nomination of McCain, which was propelled today by the withdrawal of Mitt Romney: "If that’s the way it’s supposed to go then that’s the way it’s supposed to go. I like John McCain, personally, very much.”

“John McCain has talked about keeping down spending," Eastwood says, "and we’ve got to do that... IIt’s a surprise that Mitt Romney dropped out so soon, but it’s an expensive deal…and it’s an expensive deal emotionally on the family.”

Finally, sounding a bit like McCain on the campaign trail, the "Make my day" actor turned director has this to say about political spending: "Both parties and both houses seem to be spending like drunken sailors. No offense to the Navy, of course."

10. He implied nothing of the sort.
His comment is what Hillary SHOULD have said.
