Tonight's surprise guest at the RNC?

[marie427]

Apparently there's going to be a special mystery guest tonight at the RNC. Who are your guesses?

Some media outlets are reporting that it will be Clint Eastwood. I'm going to guess Nancy Reagan.

My non-serious answer is Jesus.

Is Bush there? (I had grand plans to watch but haven't really. I'm a bad CEPer. lol.)

[IIOY]

It's ME!!! And YOU get some bacon! And YOU get some bacon! And YOU get some bacon!

No, wait, not you. You're old. You already get Medicare. Fuck you.

But YOU get some bacon! And YOU get some bacon!

Crap - great minds think alike, I just posted a thread on this too! I'll delete mine and drop it here:

TAMPA, Fla. — Will Republicans take a page out of one of the most liberal, progressive music festivals of all time?
That’s part of the buzz Fox News started when it speculating about the mystery speaker on the schedule for the last night of the Republican National Convention. Fox has confirmed that a surprise speaker will fill a “To Be Announced” slot on the time sheet Thursday night, tucked between a performance by singer Taylor Hicks and a speech by Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio.
Fox is now reporting that the most likely suitor for that spot is Hollywood mogul Clint Eastwood. That is after Fox News backed away from what seemed like a more serious statement that the speaker could be a hologram of Ronald Reagan.
The news organization is now attributing that bit of speculation to Matt Kenney, a staffer for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who they say suggested the idea of a Ronald Reagan hologram “playfully.”
The idea of resurrecting popular figures of the past on a big screen among the living was first put into practice this summer by the Coachella Music Festival in California. Rapper Snoop Dogg performed convincingly with a hologram of Tupac, who was gunned down during his rapping prime in Las Vegas in 1996.
Other ideas as to who might be the mystery Republican speaker tonight? Yes, Denver, Fox speculated Tim Tebow is among the potential candidates.

HW and W were both featured on the big screen and made some remarks remotely, from what I saw in this morning's highlights. So I'm guessing it's probably not going to be either one of them.

My non-serious answer is a hologram of Ronald Reagan, Tupac-style.

Clint Eastwood is what I've been hearing.

As long as it's not Trump.

LOL at the idea of a hologram.

Clint Eastwood makes sense. Tim Tebow would be hilarious but I doubt it is him.

[marie427]

The Jets are playing tonight - can't be Tim Tebow. Though he's better off ditching the team because they are atrocious.

If they bring him in - a poster boy for reality TV and maniacal ego - I will go picket our local RNC office tonight. I'm not even kidding.

*barf* Unity horse!

Though he was confirmed to do something silly during the RNC - I'm guessing his thing is tonight since I haven't heard anyone mention it already?

[ering1115]

I can't see Nancy Reagan being able to do an address. I think she is at the stage where it is more likely that she would stand and wave.

As I understand it, they took the necessary schedule shuffling because of monday as an opportunity to cut that piece out of the schedule.

I was thinking Ronald Reagan, weekend at Bernie's style.

Surprise performance by Rage Against the Machine?

If it is, will someone send up the bat signal on the board? Cause I don't want to miss it.

C'mon, not one guess for Sarah? So she can talk about pitbulls and lipsticks and pretend it's 2008 all over again?

I hope this isn't it, because my MIL would stroke out, and she's supposed to watch my small child this weekend.

[soontobeka]

Ok, I do have an honest question. Why would they do this (and hype it) the same night as the nominee's speech? Shouldn't Romney's speech be the highlight? Why drown him out with all of this?

[Deleted]

Can we all mock the GOP for being "hollywood" if they use Clint? Also, I would be disappoint. I like Clint. I know he believes in the exact opposite to me but I have always been able to pus that aside lol.

[ringstrue]

Todd Akin!

[marie427]

How about the shirtless version of Paul Ryan?

[marie427]

It's Clint:

Damn.

I was hoping it would be the gun they pried from Charlton Heston's dead hands.

[heyjude]

Clint Eastwood? Yawn.

(I've met him tho)

I was going to guess fake Obama.
