I hugely enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s turn last night, but I’m not sure I agree that it was “unintentionally hilarious” and that “he forgot his lines, lost his way.” Clint is a brilliant actor, and a superb director of other actors (and I don’t just mean a quarter-century ago: In the last five years, he’s directed eight films).

That's an interesting analysis by Steyn. The fact is that the speech got an enormous amount of press - and will be the one from which people will be showing clips for many years to come. As for the impact - we'll find out. I think it will prove effective.

Have you noticed, Clint Eastwood got so much attention that Romney's speech is getting relatively little? It's as if the Obama campaign got distracted and forgot to send its "he lied, he lied, he lied" spin to Politifact to trumpet as "fact-checking".
