On August 31, 2008, political news was abuzz with John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin to be his running mate. In a hilarious New York Times column titled Vice in Go-Go Boots, Maureen Dowd used a chick-flick theme to satirize the GOP ticket, and lamented: "Why do men only pick women as running mates when they need a Hail Mary pass? It’s a little insulting."
Today, political news is abuzz with the GOP-RNC decision to allow actor Clint Eastwood free reign with an empty-chair satire during broadcast TV prime time last night, an odd appearance that is getting as much press as candidate Mitt Romney's convention acceptance speech.
