SubscribeHillary Says She’s Like ‘Rocky’ (Who Er… Lost)
From her undying fans at the Associated Press:
Clinton likens herself to ‘Rocky’
By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer
PHILADELPHIA - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she has something in common with legendary film boxer Rocky Balboa — she’s not a quitter.
Recalling a famous scene on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the 1976 Oscar-winning film "Rocky," Clinton said that ending her presidential campaign now would be as if "Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, ‘Well, I guess that’s about far enough.’"
"Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people," Clinton said in excerpts of prepared remarks to be given Tuesday to a meeting of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO…
"The Republicans aren’t going to give up without a fight," Clinton said. "And no matter how beautiful your rhetoric, the Republicans aren’t going to turn off their attack machine — it doesn’t have an off-switch."
"But one thing you know about me is that when I say I’ll fight for you, I’ll fight for you," the New York senator said. "I know what it’s like to stumble. I know what it means to get knocked down. But I’ve never stayed down, and I never will." …
Someone needs to remind Mrs. Clinton that Rocky lost.
Apollo Creed (a black man) was given the victory by the judges (the superdelegates) in a split decision.
But when has Hillary every bothered her pretty little head (meaning small) with such petty details?

I give it 4 Cackles !
A poor attempt at VOTER Placation, probably conceived by some high priced Political Operative, who believes Rocky is the popular obsession in PHILA.
Is Hillary Rodham telling everyone how she dogged SNIPERS, INTERNS, and a Vast RIGHT WING Conspiracy to buy CHEESE STEAK?
Perhaps Chelsea, Bill, and Senator Clinton are now LIFE LONG die-hard fans of the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, etc?

Your daily “could be worse” reminder:
If she just has to be Stallone, do you want to see her wearing boxing gloves, or bare-chested with an ammo belt draped over her shoulders ?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww, that’s disgusting!!! (cough, gag,wheeze, hiccup, hiccup, ack, ptoo)

I have a dog named “Rocky”….. I’m just saying. :-)
April 1st, 2008 at 4:44 pm
The next dog I get is going to be named Hillary………(no….no, I couldn’t do that to the poor thing……the dog, I mean)

“the Republicans aren’t going to turn off their attack machine”. I’m sorry. Are the Republicans attacking her? Aren’t her former friends in the press doing most of the attacking? (Check out Christopher Hitchins at Slate (link below), and you will know what I mean)….. She’ll get her just deserts when she sews up the nomination…..I wouldn’t want to be one of her former “friends” trying to curry favor when she becomes the Dem nominee. She’’s a “lock”.
Obama struck the Reverend Wright iceburg a few weeks ago and all of the limo liberals up in first class don’t realize that the ship is doomed. As far as McCain winning the White House? Only if he was a Democrat……McCain’s strength is his postion on the war on terror. The nuts in Iran are going to lie low until they can get the “party of surrender” into the White House. Who do you think told Sadr to back off? Hell, they already beat us once…….Have a nice day…..

The Republicans???!!! Over the last couple of weeks she’s done a credible job of beating the shit out of herself. Republicans need to keep out of the way. If they don’t they’ll ruin the show.
As for the dems? Barack views having kids as some sort of punishment. If I was one of his daughters I don’t know how I’d feel about that, but he seems so much a “typical black man” every time he opens his mouth.
And Hillary? Hillary could screw up a one-car junkyard!

“The next dog I get is going to be named Hillary”
LOL JohnMG, but, what are you going to do with a dog that bites? :-)
“the Republicans aren’t going to turn off their attack machine”.
You know those ding dang Republicans and their attack machine. hahaha… this is getting soooo entertaining. (More popcorn please.)

Being as thick as a brick does not make you Rocky.
“If she just has to be Stallone, do you want to see her wearing boxing gloves, or bare-chested with an ammo belt draped over her shoulders ?”
Thats not an ammo belt draped over her shoulders its her…….
Never mind.

Clinton challenges Obama to bowl-off

It’s getting even better…you couldn’t make it up. This is turning out to be the best primaries ever..

“Bowl Off” is an April Fool’s story……

Dez you have a sick mind–I’m going to have to scrub my eyes with a Brillo pad now. ;-}
texaspsue; I had to re-think that dog business but I did come up with another reason, too. It had something to do with the expression, “That dog won’t hunt”. I can almost visualize that creature. Worthless as a watch-dog, (growls and snarls all the time but wears false teeth) it would be a cross-breed, (probably half-setter, half-pointer–sits in the kitchen and points at the pantry), that sleeps on the furniture when you’re not around. On second thought, maybe I’ll just get a skunk. ;-}

“Dez you have a sick mind”
Thats the nicest compliment I have had in months. ;)

DEZ; …..”Being as thick as a brick does not make you Rocky…..”
How about Jethro Tull?

I don’t recall Rocky lieing with every breath.

I do see the analogy that Mrs Clinton is attempting to make: She’s like so many of the punch drunk fighters of the past that we’ve all watched on TV matches…..too brain damaged from constant head blows to even know that it’s their time to hang up the gloves. In Hillary’s case (and in the case of the Democant party), I hope she continues her “fight”. She is, singlehandedly, doing more lasting damage to the Democant party than anything any “Republican attack machine” could ever conceive of doing.
One question though….who thought it was a good idea to have her don the boxing gloves and pose with that goofy wide-eyed manicial look on her face?? Look at the guy in the background. You can almost hear him thinking “oh my *God*, why did we do THIS????” The other people around and behind him are not smiling either. They are not happy campers.
If I didnt hate her so much, I’d probably actually feel sorry for her.
But dont stop, Hillary…..pleeeeeease dont stop!! ahahahahahahahaha

I like dogs so instead I named one of my heifers Hillary. She has a big butt and short stumpy legs. She wanders around all day with a blank stupid look on her face and her jaw moving constantly resulting only in her leaving steaming piles of poop to mark her passing.

Now I’ve heard everything. And just who’s ass is the recipient of all this smoke Hillary is blowing? The people of Philadelphia? Aren’t they the ones who chucked snowballs at Santa Claus at a football game during half-time several years ago? Not to impugn the good people of Philly when it comes to Santa Clause but I’m sure they know bullshit when they see, hear and smell it. Mickey Goldmill is turning over in his grave.

Great analogy conant. LOL
