I read a great interview today (linked from Drudgereport.com) with Clint Eastwood by The Guardian UK newspaper. You hear a lot of things about Mr. Eastwood here and there in the media, but I give the Guardian credit for what seemed to be a balanced view of a Hollywood legend.
Here’s a relevant excerpt to whet your appetite for the rest:
Eastwood still likes to let his views be known, often forcefully. In 2005, he vowed he’d kill Michael Moore if the documentarian ever showed up at his house, the way he had doorstepped Charlton Heston in Bowling for Columbine. This March he was sacked from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s California state parks commission for objecting to the building of a toll road through a national forest. But though he has been associated in the public mind with Republican viewpoints, he’s something of an individualist. “I don’t pay attention to either side,” he claims. “I mean, I’ve always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else’s hair. So I believe in that value of smaller government. Give politicians power and all of a sudden they’ll misuse it on ya.”
Well said! If you want to read the rest of the article, you’ll find it here.
