Newsflash: Obama can't take a joke. But we already knew that.
For
four long years we've waited, hoped and prayed that some young comic
would break free of the politically correct demands of The State and
mock Obama the way all presidents and all people in power should be
mocked. But for four long years (with a few exceptions) all we've seen
instead are cowardly toadies of The State: Bill Maher, Jon Stewart,
David Letterman, Chris Rock, the cast of "Saturday Night Live"…
Since Obama won
the presidency, comedy has pretty much gone straight to hell as our
Entertainment Overlords morphed into pathetic lapdogs to The State;
begging for scraps of attention and affection from Obama, and in the
process becoming stale, lazy, dull, predictable, painfully unfunny, and
like a needy poodle -- more than a little annoying.
Who
would've ever thought that one of the men who would display enough
backbone and "edge" to finally take it to Obama with wicked mockery on
about 30 million live television screens would be 82 year-old Clint
Eastwood?
Once
we learned Eastwood was the night's mystery guest, no one knew what to
expect. And anyone who took a guess most certainly didn’t guess that the
Oscar-winning American icon would use his opportunity to relentlessly
and hilariously mock Barack Obama in front of the entire free world.
You can watch the highlights here:
It was glorious! And everyone I've talked to who was in the hall absolutely loved it.
Eastwood
hit Obama in every sweet spot we've been waiting for him to get hit on:
The incompetence; the lies; the empty, pretentious rhetoric; the
inexperience; and that roaring blowhard of a moron Obama chose to be a
heartbeat away.
Oh, and the empty chair. Other than an empty suit, there is no sharper metaphor.
Eastwood
also made one of the very best points of the night: WE own this
country, and when someone doesn't do the job "we have to let them go."
The
media, naturally, is furious. They don’t like to see Their Precious One
mocked and they also understand the power of mockery -- which is why
they keep Stewart and Colbert on such a tight leash. This is why the
media has already written 25 stories (5 from Politico) mocking Eastwood.
Had
Eastwood said the things the media likes to hear with the same
nervousness and hesitation, they would've called him wizened and
seasoned. But because he mocked Their Precious One, suddenly he's some
kind of embarrassment.
And now Politico, Ben Smith and CNN are all talking about how they intend to use Eastwood as way to overwhelm Mitt Romney's speech in the coming days.
Like they wouldn't have found another reason.
All
I can say in response is: Go to hell you Obama-shilling crybabies.
Eastwood showed more grit and honestly in those few minutes than you
water carriers have during your entire propaganda-for-the-collective careers .
What
Eastwood did tonight was funnier, fresher, edgier, and braver than
anything those comedy cowards Chris Rock, Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert
have done in 15 years.
82 years-old, and Dirty Harry is still pissing all the right people off.
My hero.
