He was really wobbly, for sure. But he's 82, after all.

Vin Scully (Dodgers baseball announcer) is older than Eastwood and is as eloquent a speaker as you will ever hear, even today. Considered by most to still be the best in the biz. Age is no excuse in this instance... he's a professional conveyor of messages.
Viv Scully is is himself scripted but far too much of a gentleman to get anywhere near the third rail of politics. Eastwood, to his credit, put himself in the political arena and from all reports did a quite competent job when administering a microcity town village hamlet. Carmel's a nice place for those who can afford to live there.
