Better metaphors needed
So Hilary Clinton thinks she's like Rocky, eh?
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.
Sure. Clinton does remember that Rocky loses at the end of the film, right? To take this a bit further, who's Apollo Creed? I hope that's Obama. Clinton strategist Mark Penn has to be Paulie. You know, the guy who's always fucking up Rocky's career before taking a wayward punch himself during a semi-comedic moment. I guess Bill Clinton is Adrian? Whatever. I guess that works. That just leaves McCain. It doesn't really fit in with the story arc, but the similarities between Senator Straight Talk and Mickey, aka Burgess Meredith, are too obvious to ignore.
