“Then there was the clapping glee with which conventioneers greeted Eastwood’s vision of Oprah Winfrey (whose cadence and style was an obvious model for Republican speakers) crying over Barack Obama’s 2008 victory. Weeping black ladies and yawping Jewish broads were, apparently, other kinds of women.”

I agree with everything in this article except this line — come on, Oprah is funny because she’s queen of America. “Oprah was crying” is funny because Oprah is recognized as beyond human, and Clint Eastwood, who’s obviously only begrudgingly supporting Romney, was admitting that Obama’s inauguration was a time of great hope for many. It was the one good line in his speech. Well, that and “Go fuck yourself.”
