Eastwood may belong to the Actors & Directors Guild - but obviously he chose not to pay his Union Dues to the Writers Guild.

Years from now it will be remembered as the Empty Chair Convention. Thank you, Clint.

Wow. You know things are bad when you have to explain yourself. Reminds me of a 60 minutes show several years ago about modern art and what people are paying for it. Morley Safer was shown a blank canvas, "created" by an artist. This old lady paid 10's of thousands of dollars for it. Safer gave her one of those famous looks. The lady said "Well, you don't get it. The artist is a Minimalist."

It was apparent that it was "on-the-fly" speech. I only felt sad for Eastman. It was embarrassing for him.

The point of his speech was to make obama look like a fool, so I simply call what happened to him because of the speech justice, he deserved what he got.
