Nobody does hissy fits like Karl Rove; the master of hardball, dirty-trick politics is constantly outraged, outraged, at his opponents’ underhanded tactics. And the latest hissy-target is the Chrysler ad during the Super Bowl, starring Clint Eastwood.

Jon Cohn gets it: it’s actually a double-edged problem for the Republicans. They hate any reminder that they were dead wrong on the auto bailout; and they hate any thought that the Democrats are becoming the party of optimism. Hey, only Republicans are allowed to celebrate American success!

There were certainly none during the past three (R) malAdministrations.

Iran-Contra, globalization, deregulation, GHWBush* was little more than a placeholder and left the economy in a recession, The Contract on America, GW* was a total disaster for the economy, diplomacy and national security.

They celebrate winning, at any cost.
