You probably know this, but I’ll note that Noonan was one of Reagan’s speechwriters, meaning that RR himself saw something in her. And she wrote a book about that era, “What I Saw at the Revolution”.

This is the problem I have with liberals, they live in the world of theory and never fully see or realize the impact of policies on real people. To them it is only an academic, political discussion/debate. I know that the 24 hour news cycle has become less about news and more about talking heads having these academic discussions, but I don’t place much relevance in any of them. Which is exactly why I choose to listen to “talking heads” like Tammy and others. To me they are doing what they do out of a real concern and love for America and its people. To them it is not merely an academic or political discussion because they understand the real impact of policies and politicians on real people.

I think the only place we differ is that her opinion is of interest to you, but not to me. I guess in the end, no matter how we get there, the important thing is that we all see the truth in things.

Interesting discussion. Eastwood’s rambling style conveyed the sense of an extemporaneous dialogue, but maybe he was just struggling with a script? No, it really was impromptu; even the chair part. Guy backstage offered him a chair to sit down; he put it to use. Very nice.

Someone from the other camp had mentioned the event to me. Seemed under the impression that “everyone” thought Eastwood had messed up. Funny how that social immersion works. I thought “everyone” was impressed.

What’s the objective reality? Well, here we are, still basking in the moment, and pointing at empty chairs and chuckling. Sometimes something touches a nerve. We know when it happens, although sometimes we don’t know why. It happened here. I say that because I saw it and felt it, not because it’s my talking point. There’s no denying that Eastwood hit it out of the park.

If, on the other hand, we’d rather lose, then we should shun and mock everyone that got it wrong last time around. Let’s see how many of them we can drive back into Obama’s camp. And shun Tammy while you’re at it; her history is blemished too.

Also, I’ll be generous with Noonan because I find her thought-provoking. Her arguments are reasoned. I can see where she’s coming from. I may argue with her on some points, but she rarely says things I consider too ridiculous to contemplate.

PS love DB’s new name Pres. AutoPen! May I use it?
