Hillary Clinton, stumping in Philadelphia drew comparisons between herself and the city’s most famous cinematic hero, Rocky. I wonder if she knows just how much they have in common.
Note her recent swooning over John McCain, who has been endorsed by none other than Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone. Interesting, but there’s more. She equated her failing campaign with the famous climax to the most famous of famous movie montages on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She insinuates that for her to drop out now would be as if, Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, ‘Will, I guess that’s about far enough.’" Maybe she doesn’t know that the movie didn’t end on those steps with his hands raised high. After that glorious training montage, Apollo Creed beat Rocky by decision after trouncing him for 15 rounds.
After her recent famous misstatement, Hillary may have found something in her Rocky comparison. She may be more right than even she knows. Just like Rocky (Stallone), she’s behind McSame over Obama; she seems to be slated to win what could be her final victory of her campaign in Pennsylvania, and she’s about to be declared the loser in a very long fight against a black guy with a funny name.
