So Hillary compares herself to Rocky?

Yes, she does.

I'm stealing this idea from a caller to my show, but ... does Hillary know the plot of "Rocky?" She said in Pennsylvania she has "a lot in common" with Rocky.

She's losing a close decision to a black man?

I like McCain as Buster Keaton in "The General." Crossing bolding into enemy territory, braving terrible villains, and acting like clowns.

Do you think that Clinton is saying that in Philly to win the PA primary by either subtly pointing out that she's the "Great White Hope" or trying to goad Obama or one of his minions into complaining that this is another coded message to all the white racists out there? Do you think she's looking for some black person anywhere to complain so they can remind everyone again that Obama is black and see how angry all these black folk are? Obama has a tough position - he has to defend anything that is said by any angry black person anywhere. Hell, he has to defend the fact that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have been quiet so long. But we're not a racist nation. NO, not US.

I almost feel embarrassed for her over that. It was cloying, as if she'd come here and said "You know, Connecticut, I've always had a great fondness for nutmeg."

I now support whichever presidential candidate doesn't compare his/her self to an outdated cliche-ridden sports movie.

But now that I think of it . . .

McCain could be Dave Stoller, the lead character from "Breaking Away." Just like Dave, John claims a worldliness that is entirely made up.

Obama could be Roy Hobbs in "The Natural," with Jeremiah Wright being the crazed fan that shot him.

Our standing presiden would be Nuke LaLoosh from "Bull Durham" with Dick Cheney as a more cynical, and more angry Crash Davis.

Now what was I saying?

Well, I be thinking she's displaying behavior more in line with the large female zenomorph in the film Aliens. She's fighting for her political survival and is hatching "mispokens" at an alarming rate. When wounded, her acidic response can corrode the very foundations of the Democratic party.

Or, she's the antagonist in another Sigourney Weaver film, Working Girl. Or better yet, the White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia. Pick your own film; there are many. The point is, she has managed to build herself into a villain, and is the choice of conservative Republicans who want to run against her. This is why Murdoch, Scaife and others are singing her praises. They always find a devious way to win elections, because they can never fight a straight fight on the truth and/or policies. They have to create a Grendel on the other side to eclipse the sorry-ass candidates they always field.

Hey, I smell a movie idea. I'm going to get after the treatment right away. And stay away from this idea, Cooper! It's Mine!

I don't see what the big deal is, Hillary has a lot of experience playing Rambo in Serbia, so the Rocky role should be a cinch.

She's way behind on points, so Burgess Meredith has to take a towel and wipe off her eye shadow and send her in for the last round. She should look in the audience at Bill cheering her on to get inspiration. Cancel that: Bill's attention is focused on the bikini-clad ring girl carrying the placard announcing the 15th round.

Hillary has to counter Obama's superior jab by crouching down, getting inside and landing a left hook below the belt. This will stop him from dancing around and running out the clock, and then Hillary can deploy a few WWF moves (the old ointment-in-the-eyes or chair-over-the-head ploys could work). Then she has to plead with the superdelegates --- I mean judges at ringside --- that if they give her the decision they will get high-level jobs in her administration and get to continue milking the Clinton cash cow.

Does this mean Chris Dodd is Spider Rico?

You mean she'll lose the first contest to a black guy, then come back SIX more times??

Along the way, she'll drive a truck & take up professional arm wrestling in an attempt to re-connect with Chelsea.

did anyone else catch Fox News a couple of Sunday's and the interview with Govenor's Rendel (PA) and Richardson (NM)?

Gov Rendel, a Clinton supporter, said the party has to get beyond who won the most delegates, the most states, and the most votes and pick the most "electable" candidate.

Gee I thought all the above was what we called democracy? He sounded like the worst kind of back room politician, or worse the kind of politician who says, we know whats best for you, you don't. That scares me more than Sen Obama's pastor.

Actually, it was a draw. Apollo only "won" because, as you well know as a fan of pugilism, a draw goes to the champ -- i.e., the incumbent. Since there isn't an incumbent here...

[Connor Hollister]

Oh God please no! That would, taken to it's logical conclusion, imply a string of low grade sequels to pain us for ages.
