Left-Wing Blogger on Clint Eastwood Speech 'cool artifact with a lot of crust and gunk on it'

Josh Marshall on Clint Eastwood:

I really like Clint Eastwood — amazing actor and director and just a really cool dude — but actually finding this a touch weird.

Late Update: Okay, I want to walk gently on this one. But I don’t think that worked. Like some cool artifact with a lot of crust and gunk on it, if you scraped it all away there was something kind of cool there. But there was a lot of crust. It had some of the cadence of Admiral Stockdale, with a hint of dirty old man. Bizarre can be cool. But not sure it was the moment for bizarre.

Imagine that from a prominent left winger.
