IMO, handing out oscars doesn`t mean much either!

Yeah. Him and John Wayne. You don't buy an old guy as a tough guy? I'm going to be 47 in March , wanna try me? "Well do 'ya , punk?" I'm sorry , I couldn't resist! A Clint quote just seemed to be the thing to do!
BTW , the old guy still has a decent set of guns on him. Even if he is an 'ice-cream lovin' former mayor of a liberal town' , he'll always be 'The Man With No Name' to me.
