DNC’s Mystery Guest
Even while denouncing Clint Eastwood’s highly effective appearance at the RNC in characteristically nasty terms, Democrats are trying to match it with a guest speaker of their own:
Social media users are mobilizing to try to get Betty White to introduce President Obama at this week’s Democratic National Convention, and the movement is gaining momentum. A Facebook group devoted to the cause has more than 18,000 likes (and counting) as of Sunday evening, while a petition on Change.org has more than 2,000 supporters.
The effort to get the 90-years-young actress began after Clint Eastwood’s awkward, rambling and nonsensical introduction of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention that involved, among other things, the actor and filmmaker speaking to an empty chair.
According to the Change.org petition, Eastwood, “the Republicans’ ‘mystery guest’ at the RNC, gave a bad name to older Americans everywhere” with the introduction.
