I wouldn't expect any different from Slick Willie. But until just a few years ago I would have never thought Clint Eastwood would do a turn around.
Clint Eastwood, a/k/a Rowdy Yates from 1960's movie series "Rawhide," used to be a tough guy's tough guy. But no more. He's went sweet on us.
Clint Eastwood backs gay marriage
Million Dollar Baby director one of 80 Republicans to sign legal brief calling for legalization of same-sex unions
Clint Eastwood lent his support to the fight for gay marriage, adding his name to a legal brief that calls on the US supreme court to legalise same-sex unions. The Oscar-winning film-maker and actor made an eccentric appearance at last year's Republican national convention, berating an empty chair to the various amusement and bemusement of the gathered dignitaries. He now joins a breakaway group of moderate Republicans that threatens to expose a split within the party.
