Quote of the Day: Clint Eastwood on those "dumb enough" Republicans

By Michael J.W. Stickings

CNN:

"If somebody is dumb enough to ask me to go to political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get," said Eastwood in an interview Tuesday with the television show "Extra" about the convention speech that won rave reviews, puzzled looks and slacked jaws.

As Harry Callahan, Eastwood's character, says in Magnum Force, the first sequel to Dirty Harry, "a man's got to know his limitations."

(By the way, for a good assessment of Eastwood's "eclectic," "attitudinal" political leanings, see this piece by Chris Orr at The Atlantic.)
