Clint Eastwood will be speaking at the Republican Convention in Tampa on Thursday according to Fox News. The network’s website is reporting that a GOP source confirmed “that Eastwood is indeed the mystery speaker”. Thursday night’s line-up has a “To Be Announced” speaker scheduled ahead of Senator Marco Rubio and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney himself. Eastwood’s name was floated earlier this week as the speaker along with former VP nominee Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and even a hologram of former President Ronald Reagan.
I can hear it now....

Although I don't usually give much credence to celebrity opinions (unless they agree with me ), I will be interested to hear Clint as he is very entertaining. Not much he has done that I don't like. I was kinda hoping for the Reagan hologram, that would have made me shed a tear.

Some lesser known Eastwood quotes that would be relevant tonight..
Clint Eastwood wrote:Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power.
Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.
I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.
Men must know their limitations.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.! Nothing tempers idealism quite like the cold bath of reality.... SQLGeek

It was part comedy routine. He was talking to an imaginary Obama sitting in the chair next to the podium. ......"What? No, I'm not going to tell Romney that. He can't do that to himself."
