Hillary Clinton: I'm like Rocky, I never quit

A bloodied Hillary Clinton is accusing Barack Obama of seeking to force her out of the ring before the fight for the Democratic nomination is over.

She has taken to comparing herself to Rocky Balboa. Speaking yesterday in Philadelphia, where the films about the underdog boxer are set, she said: “I know what it means to get knocked down. But I’ve never stayed down, and I never will. Let me tell you something – when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up.”

Sylvester Stallone, the actor who played Rocky, has backed John McCain. And, it may be noted, the film ends with Rocky’s defeat to Apollo Creed, a black man.

It was mentioned today on Glenn Becks program that if hillary is trying to compare herself to "Rocky" then she needs to remember something.

1. Rocky lost at the end to a black guy

2. That it would probably be a whole lot better for the country if we voted for Sly Stallone.

I always thought she was more like that side of beef.
