I read that they paid people to sit in them, because it looked too empty. We already know Romney had a tantrum on his Univision interview because no students wanted to be there and he wanted to bus in his own supporters. I am sure that at a lot of his appearances, there are many empty seats, he better get used to talking to them and follow Clint's example.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17885426575922045330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6701557141086131669.post-19478895103603427952012-09-30T15:23:16.455-04:002012-09-30T15:23:16.455-04:00I'm surprised about Orson Bean. I remember see...I'm surprised about Orson Bean. I remember seeing the political satirist Paul Krassner--who's on the Left--on Cspan's Book-TV a couple of years ago giving a reading at some book store, and Orson Bean was in the audience. Bean seemed to be enjoying Krassner, and it was apparent, during the Q+A session, that the two men knew and liked each other. Plus, I think Bean was blacklisted in the 1950s. They didn't usually do that to conservatives. So I'm a bit puzzled about that.<br /><br />As for Clint Eastwood, somebody in the comment section of another blog that I read made the observation that an old white guy arguing with an empty chair was the perfect metaphor for the Republican Party.
