OKAY, I DON’T WANT A KING, BUT I WOULDN’T MIND IT IF WE HAD A PRESIDENT WHO RESPONDED THIS WAY: After ISIS execution, angry King Abdullah quotes Clint Eastwood to U.S. lawmakers. “He mentioned ‘Unforgiven’ and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie.”
The story doesn’t give the quote, but I wonder if it’s this one? “All right, I’m coming out. Any man I see out there, I’m gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only gonna kill him, but I’m gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.”
Speaking of Eastwood, the empty chair imagery still seems appropriate: “Hunter said there was no mention of President Obama during the bipartisan meeting, either by King Abdullah or by any of the lawmakers in the room.”
