You can learn a lot watching the Super Bowl

Listen to Dave Ross Commentary: You can learn a lot watching the Super Bowl
Bright headlights can vaporize vampires. Coke remains liquid even at the North Pole, touchdowns count even if you fall involuntarily into the end zone butt first… And, Clint Eastwood is on board with the auto bailout:
Fox Commentator Karl Rove said that Chrysler ad wasn’t just an ad, it was an ad with an AD-jenda:
“I was frankly offended by it. I am a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, but it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics and the president of the United States using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising.”
He saw a bailed out car company paying back its White House sugar-daddy:
“This country can’t be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do, the world is going to hear the roar of our engines,” said Eastwood in the ad.
But you know what I heard when I heard that ad? I heard echoes of Karl’s old boss:
“The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon,” said George W. Bush.
That’s what I heard… that just as we picked ourselves up then, we can pick ourselves up now. And if it involves a little government help, isn’t that why we HAVE a government?
Eastwood himself said “it was meant to be a message just about job growth and the spirit of America. I think all politicians will agree with it.”
So Karl can have his opinion, but as a certain San Francisco cop once said:
“Opinions are like @#**__, everybody has one.”
