Karl Rove may have crossed a bridge too far. He is drawing a bead on Clint Eastwood. Rove is up in arms about the Super Bowl commercial Clint narrated for Chrysler. He thinks Eastwood committed the worst of crimes---implying President Obama did something right. Like save the American auto industry.
Eastwood gravelly denies the accusation. Last year he even told the L.A. Times, that, being a fiscal conservative, he was opposed to the bailout. "It wasn't intended to have any political message," says an Eastwood rep about the ad, "but rather be one of American pride and job growth."
Rove and his gang won't back down. It all seems like a showdown scene from a Spaghetti Western (www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOt1erxRzN8). The Ennio Morricone soundtrack a pulsating backdrop to the nail-biting tension. Eastwood's stare is unwavering. Rove? The hoofbeats of his horse pound the dusty street in retreat, and as the gunshots fly behind, he desperately runs for his life.
