From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2012-08-31:

"I heard that Clint Eastwood was channeling me at the RNC. My lawyers and I are drafting our lawsuit." -- Bob Newhart, comedian, known for his routines involving one-sided conversations. Newhart tweeted the comment about Eastwood's speech at the Republican National Convention on August 30.

"This is a perfect representation of the campaign: an old white man arguing with an imaginary Barack Obama." -- Jamelle Bouie, 2012-08-31 [ thanks to [info] - personal polydad, who got it from [info] eyelid, who in turn picked it up from Andrew Sullivan]

The GOP convention's Eastwood incident and recent trends in Republicanism were also immortalized by [personal profile] catsittingstill in her new song "Empty Chair."

Are we absolutely positive, now, that the Republican Party hasn't turned into a vast piece of performance art? This whole campaign cycle seems to have been a loopy deconstruction of the process of getting elected. Now they seem to be trying to see how nutty they have to go to get someone in the Washington press corps to say the Emperor hasn't got any clothes.

Ah, but they're playing to a sellout crowd.
