If Hillary sees herself as Rocky Balboa, with Obama as Apollo Creed, shouldn't Bill be playing
Burgess Meredith's part as the feisty but somewhat-nuts trainer?

And instead of Eggs Benedict (which seem quite appropriate for Hillary to order in light of all her pro-McCain remarks),
shouldn't she be ordering a glass of raw eggs when she attends those special prayer meeting breakfasts?

I just can't figure out whose name she'd be screaming at the end, when she's managed to go the distance but lost.
Hmm, should rhyme with Adri-en!!
Yo, Mark Penn?

1. Holding the IWR...
over her head in the middle of the ring.

"Yooooooo! Leiber....man, WE DID IT!!!"

6. Yeah - that's what's so funny about her choosing that comparison for herself.
Unless she's hinting that there's gonna be a sequel in 4 years...
and another...
and another...
ad infinitum.

11. Always a good idea to check how a movie ends before comparing oneself to its main character.

3. Oh.....THAT Rocky!
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 02:37 PM by TwoSparkles
I thought Hillary was comparing herself to the flying-squirrel Rocky! My bad. ...but Hillary
looks just like Rocky the Squirrel!




...and of course, that would make Bill...Bullwinkle.

7. "...but Hillary looks just like Rocky the Squirrel!" Not really - his collars don't stand up
the way Hillary's do.

4. No, Mark Penn is Mickey.
Bill Clinton is Butkis.

Geraldine Ferraro is Paulie.

8. You mean Hillary, thinking up these bad comparisons to foist on the public?
Besides, how ridiculous is it to try to picture her in a knitted watchman's cap, sneakers and sweats?

12. I think James Carville should play Adrian's turtle.
And keep his head tucked in as much as possible.

15. "You had the talent to be a good fighter!"
"And instead of that, you became a leg-breaker to some cheap, second-rate loan shark! It's a waste of life!"

Nah. Bill's no good in that role.

17. "You had the talent to be a good fighter!" Reminds me of: "I could'a been a contendah!"
Marlon Brando, in "On the Waterfront," to his brother, Chollie.
