Clint Eastwood to debate empty Oak Ridge Mall

Five days after losing a debate to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention, actor and director Clint Eastwood is scheduled to have an argument with a vacant shopping mall. Eastwood, 182, will be in Oak Ridge this afternoon where he will trade barbs with an indoor complex that at one point in time housed dozens of stores. "I'm a little worried about him," said "Dirty Harry" fan Matt Cochran. "He's a great movie director, but his debating skills leave a little something to be desired. There's a reason they were the Lincoln-Douglas debates, not the Lincoln-Eastwood debates. I guess poor Clint must feel pretty lucky." Eastwood will appear in Knoxville on Wednesday to debate the city's empty convention center. He will be in Lake City on Thursday to debate an empty town.
