After unusual speech, 'Eastwooding? makes the rounds on the Web

Clint Eastwood was the surprise speaker at the Republican convention. And the "Dirty Harry" actor's rambling speech didn't make everybody's day. The 82-year-old gave an ad-libbed talk to an empty chair on stage that was supposed to be President Obama?or where he was sitting?or something.

It didn't take long for Obama's furniture stand-in to take on a life of its own. Cue the "Eastwooding" Web meme.

Game of Thrones "Eastwooding" from @Column55 on twitter.Immediately, Clint Eastwood became a trending topic on Twitter as commenters poured out their thoughts?and let their imaginations run wild.
