...Behind the scenes, Mr. Eastwood’s convention cameo was cleared by Mr. Romney’s top message mavens, Russ Schriefer and Stuart Stevens...(Eastwood)’s decision to use a chair as a prop was last-minute, and his own...“The prop person probably thought he was going to sit in it,” a baffled senior aide said on Thursday night...

They're more than happy to seize the credit when bringing in Eastwood seemed to be a supercool idea. The second something goes wrong, an anonymity epidemic breaks out!
