A Petition Is Going Around for Betty White to Appear at the DNC: Should She Spoof Clint Eastwood's Empty Chair Speech?

yes love her and she is a true talent and golden girl, go get um betty!

I'm not a Betty White fan. Don't want to see her doing anything.

It woulld be great. I'm beginning to think Clint talks to an empty chair more than we realize.

I am sick of Betty White.

Clint's routine was brilliant. It would be fund to see someone (anyone) at the DNC make a fool of themselves trying to counter it.

She wouldn't do it. She's wild but really not that political.

The first time was original, the second time is just a stupid imitation.

Are you talking about Eastwood's empty chair conversation as the first time.

Sure, why not? Clint ruined his credibility with that stupid speech of his and did nothing for the Romney Campaign. It would be a hoot to see Betty White make a joke out of Eastwood and the Romney idiots.

Isn't the Democratic National Convention over?

Why should she. The lady is brilliant - let her do her own thing.

No, but it would be funny. I'm sure SNL will have plenty of fun with it though.

I didn't think that Clint Eastwood's empty chair speech made me wondering about this "bizarre" conversation, or made me think he was a rambling fool. I found Eastwood's performance very funny and sometimes I think that sodahead has a liberal bias. And no I don't think that Betty White should do similar monologue at the DNC.

I loved it. All this ballyhoo about his schtick. Was it funny? embarrassing? bizarre? whatever? Just makes me realize too many people donʻt realize Republicans like to have fun, too!!

She is an Empty chair

Betty is hysterical. End of story.

Betty White? I'm sure a lot of kids don't even know who she is.

Betty is better than that. Classy Lady

let it rest poor clint

Sure, if she wants to look like an also ran and the democrat party wants to be the party with no imagaination or creativity that has to steal ideas from republicans.

Of course, their idea to boo God and Israel was certainly original ... don't think the repubs will be copying that idea any time soon.

Betty is too good to be used in this manner. I say NO!

Their convention is already an embarrassment to the party. If I was a Dem at this point I'd be pissed at how hap-hazard it's being run.

The Democrats, with their originally eliminating God and Israel from their platform and then calling three different eliminations as a "technical glitch" are just as bad...maybe even worse. That kind of "mistake" has revealed their true intentions. Any Jew or anyone religious, has got to out of their cotton-picken minds to vote Democratic this time around.

Amen! I honestly believe that although Barack used the campaign stump speech in '08 that Israel is our friend, Pakistan is really HIS friend.

and all of the middle east

Oh Hell Ya!

Does anyone really give a fat rat's ass what Betty White does? She should be eternally thankful that Golden Girls had excellent writers since she, otherwise, would be selling children back-to-school clothing at Wal Mart...

because you KNOW Jodi Miller would rip her by doing NewsBusters next to Betty's "seat" (a toilet)

Not quite. This is a biased poll. Betty White can do what she wants to do. But neither she nor Bill Clinton nor anyone else can transform a pig into something beautiful by putting lipstick on it.

well said

Betty White is so funny. She would be excellent for this type of satire.

Doing anything for the DNC would be an embarrisment for Betty White, she's got more smarts that that.

I think she's a democrat.

She would not haven been invite if she wasn't

I think it's an embarrassment that you can't spell embarrassment. The Republican team of R&R will be an embarrassment to this nation if elected. Under them, education will be starved, and there will be more people who cannot read, write or spell.

Betty would be a distraction Obama needs to keep marginally satisfied democrats from thinking about the damage Obama has done to them and the nation with his unbudgetted $6 trillion of spending. If Obama cared about the nation, he would have Harry Reid fulfill Reid's mandate to pass a budget (times 3). Generally when a company has an employee that doesn't do his job and ignored mandates, they get fired! Harry and his lies somehow get him re-elected. Folks in Nevada don't seem to care about truth and honesty, or the jobs that Harry lost for them and Harry and Obama have kept away these four years! It appears that the DNC and many delegates prefer to dance the term of office away in a pile of bullcrap and are happy about it because Obama's fantasy tour is less work than keeping America financially independent and children free of debt to their nation upon birth! Don't be fooled by this unclass act!

yes

No, she's much funnier than any lame thing Eastwood would do. I wouldn't like to see her bring herself down to the level of Eastwood, she's much more talented in all ways. She can come up with tons of her own spoofes that are way funnier. Eastwood needs to go far far away.

Without a shrink there to guide Eastwood through a Getalt therapy session, Eastwood looked like he had a screw loose talking to an empty chair.

White doesn't need props to get a laugh or make a point.
