"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Before Romney was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), 82-year-old actor Clint Eastwood took the stage — and strangely interviewed an empty chair meant to represent President Obama. So while Romney's speech was "fine," says Ezra Klein at The Washington Post, "putting Clint Eastwood in primetime to interview an empty chair... was an absolute disaster." It was as bizarre as it was unnecessary, it ruined the flow of the evening, and it pushed Romney's speech back a good 15 minutes. It also stepped on his buzz, says Michael Tomasky at The Daily Beast. Now, "around the water cooler Friday it's going to be less about Romney than about Clint Eastwood." (as evidenced here, there's this discussion on Eastwood and no discussion on Romney's speech)
