Scenes That I Love: Clint Eastwood Gets Results

The big news tonight seems to be that former President Bill Clinton is giving a speech at the Democratic National Convention.  After being told by several people on twitter that Clinton is “one of the greatest speakers of all time,” I listened to a few minutes of “America’s greatest politician” and you know what?
