CLINT EASTWOOD, a dishevelled blabbering old Hollywood actor and
director of global fame, standing in front of a pulpit;
BARACK OBAMA, an incumbent US president running for reelection,
sitting by and furiously tweeting on his smartphone.

EASTWOOD: (laughing; looks down at Obama, who's fidgeting with his
smartphone) So, Mr. President, how do you handle promises that you
have made when you were running for election, and how do you handle
them?
I mean, what do you say to people? Do you just -- you know -- I know
-- people were wondering -- you don't -- handle that OK. Well, I know
even people in your own party were very disappointed when you didn't
close Gitmo. And I thought, well, closing Gitmo -- why close that, we
spent so much money on it. But, I thought maybe as an excuse --
OBAMA: (shakes his head as he keeps fidgeting with his phone) Shut up, old man!
EASTWOOD: (laughs out) what do you mean, Shut up?
OBAMA: (shows Eastwood the middle finger while still riveted to his phone)
EASTWOOD: OK, I thought maybe it was just because somebody had the
stupid idea of trying terrorists in downtown New York City.
I've got to... to hand it to you. I have to give credit where credit
is due. You did finally overrule that finally. And that's --
OBAMA: (without looking up) You're welcome!
EASTWOOD: (delighted) Now we are moving onward. I know you were
against the war in Iraq, and that's okay.
But you thought the war in Afghanistan was OK.
You know, I mean -- you thought that was something worth doing. We
didn't check with the Russians to see how did it -- they did there for
10 years.
But we did it, and it is something to be thought about, and I think
that, when we get to maybe
-- I think you've mentioned something about having a target date for
bringing everybody
home. You gave that target date, and I think Mr. Romney asked the only
sensible question,
you know, he says, "Why are you giving the date out now? Why don't you
just bring them
home tomorrow morning?"
And I thought -- I thought, yeah--
OBAMA: (still thumbing on his phone) For crissake! I'm busy tweeting
here, old freak! Would you shut the fuck up?
EASTWOOD: I am not going to shut up, it is my turn.
So anyway, we're going to have -- we're going to have to have a little
chat about that. And then, I just wondered, all these promises -- I
wondered about when the --
OBAMA: (still fidgeting with his phone) By the way, tell Romney to
shove it up his tight ass! Ha! Ha! Ha!
EASTWOOD: What do you want me to tell Romney?
OBAMA: (still tweeting on) You heard me!
EASTWOOD: I can't tell him to do that. I can't tell him to do that to himself.
You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy. You're getting as bad as Biden.
OBAMA: (smiling, with a thumb up, and still fascinated by his phone)
Big Fucking Deal!
