No hard feelings, Dirty Harry Clint Eastwood says

All is well between Clint Eastwood and The Governator after Arnold Schwarzenegger booted his pal, (and his own brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver) from the state parks commission last week. Our own Michael Rothfeld has the details.

“I talked to him the day we were not reappointed, or as Donald Trump would say, ‘You’re fired,’ ” Eastwood said in an interview, his gravelly impression of Schwarzenegger’s Austrian accent producing a kind of Dirty-Harry-meets-the-Terminator effect.

“So we laughed about it,” Eastwood said, “and I said, ‘Me? But you’re his brother-in-law!’ And he said, ‘But you’re his friend and longtime mentor!’ ”

Schwarzenegger's aides say the move had nothing to do with the fact Eastwood and Shriver opposed a toll road through San Onofre State Beach. But Eastwood, who surfed the legendary break in the '50s, sees it differently. Rothfeld's full story here. (And an anti-toll road video from Eastwood below.)
