Hillary’s laugh of the day
My previous post was about Hillary’s laugh line from yesterday. Today, she has a new one. Today, she is Rocky Balboa.
Clinton Likens Herself to ‘Rocky’
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – 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.
Clinton warned that Democrats won’t have an easy time against Republican nominee-in-waiting John McCain in the general, and implied that her rival for the nomination, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, may not be up to the task.
“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.”
You know, if you look closely enough, you can just about make out the resemblance…
Perhaps we should all chip in and purchase the costume for her. Hillary, The Italian Stallion.
