Coming on April Fool’s Day, you would almost think yesterday’s breaking news story was a put-on:
In a speech in Philadelphia today, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, compared herself to Philly icon Rocky Balboa.
“Well, could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten half way up those Art Museum steps and said, ‘Well, I guess that’s about far enough?’” Clinton asked.
“Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common,” she [told] the Pennsylvania A.F.L.-C.I.O. audience.
I can actually say that for once, I agree with Hillary Clinton. At first glance, they do have a lot in common.
Unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, not even her fellow Democrats are inclined to agree with her comparison:
Hillary Clinton is so obviously Apollo Creed, not Rocky Balboa. It was Creed who had it all, let himself grow deluded with entitlement, surrounded himself with an entourage of yes-men who never thought for even a second that their fighter might actually have to fight.
Ouch!
And, as ABC gently reminds the good Senator from New York…
Um….Senator? Rocky lost.
It was a split decision, but the judges (superdelegates?) awarded the fight to Rocky’s black opponent, Apollo Creed.
Meanwhile, Rocky’s lovely sidekick Adrian sits forlorn at the ringside, anxious and distraught over the beating her lover is taking.
Hmmm. Perhaps that analogy can only play so far…

I love that pic of Bill….how much would you pay to know what he’s thinking.
1.
“Is she ever going to shut up?”
He’s thinking, “Oh my, it’s been awhile since I noticed. What did I do with that cigar.”
SONGBIRD! YEAH!
Now that’s funny.
TOO funny!!!!…But true.
That HELLary and Bill picture needs some captions, so here is my “Top Ten” list of captions:
1) Oh, my gosh, that pantsuit highlights her big *ss for everyone to see.
2) Talk about being bored *hitless!!! Enough HELLary!!
3) Oh, no, what can I do, she’s terrible.
4) How am I ever going to get back to the White House and all those interns??
5) What can I do to not look so bored??
6) They should have let me run instead of her.
7) I can’t take being with a loser. I wonder if it’s too late to get a divorce??
9) You know if I don’t care, she’s doomed!!
10) HELLary, tell them they will be getting two for the price of one.
See if you all like any of these??
My girlfriend and I were discussing this yesterday…it was total news to me and I was like “what the heck it must be April Fool’s from you because Lone Star Times doesn’t have it up yet!!!” hahahah…you guys are a day late.
Robert, I thinking he’s seriously thinking of changing his vote to Obamma
Bill is thinking “What a Wise A$$ with that Wide A$$.”
#9
JBB
I was thinking the same thing. Thank goodness it is a secret ballot.
Reply to no.9: No, Bill has to got to ride the “donkey” he came in with–win or lose!!! Remember it might be more benefical to Bill in the long run if HELLary loses because she might have, but highly unlikely, done a better job than he did. And Bill’s ego couldn’t take that hit!!!
Because with HELLary, you would get “two for the price of one”, then you should get two “Top Ten” list of captions for the Bill and HELLary picture:
1) I can’t let her screw up my legacy!!
2) If only HELLary were black??
3) I could sure use a cigar and an intern, right about now.
4) What I could have done with HELLary, if she only had some “likabilty” about her.
5) How am I going to get her enough “super delegates” for the nomination??
6) Why did I ever marry that (w or b)itch??
7) What was I thinking when I told her I would help her campaign??
9) To think!! I gave up Monica for her.
10) Wonder if I could get a Supreme Court nomination if I endorsed “BO”???
Try these???
4 - Hey, David. Old posters never die, they just fall off the front page…
7 & 12 - Robert: “Must… Stay… Awaaaakkkk… :snore:”
Reply to No. 13: I hope during your restful sleep you don’t have a nightmare about HELLary being elected President.
Picture caption: Monica’s gone. Chelsea’s gone. Buddy’s dead. And I’m stuck with this.
Looks like he’s trying a Vulcan mind-meld on himself.
Just in case Songbird has anymore trouble sleeping, I wrote another “Top Ten” list. This is easy when the subject is HELLary and Bill. So here goes:
1) Look at the “donkey” I hitched my wagon to!!
2) I ain’t putting up anymore of my money on this dead horse.
3) HELLary is “over the hill” and approaching the next hill.
4) I should have never given up on burgers and fries.
5) Why doesn’t she just drop out??
6) I sure hope she doesn’t “Vince Foster” me!!
7) It’s a good thing we have insurance to cover all those Botox injections.
9) I sure hope HELLary becomes President because I still have some pardons to sell.
10) If only HELLary would have unleashed me on to “BO”, we would have the nomination in hand by now.
Songbird, I hope you enjoy these. You inspired me to write them.
Look at the audience. They don’t even seen to be looking at her.
“What was the Party thinking?”
“I shoulda used Preparation H.”
To his Secret Service bodyguard, “Give me your gun, please. Please?”
To her Secret Service bodyguard, “Give me your gun, please. Please?”
“The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round . . .”
“I coulda had a V8.”
“That Obama fella is one sexy guy. I hear he smokes . . .”
“This is deja vue all over again.”
“I shoulda moved to China.”
“What’s playing at the Cinemark?”
Hey, at least he is awake.
Maybe he’s still grieving over Ron Brown.
I figure Billy’s thinking one of two things:
“But we had so much fun in college…” or perhaps, “She wouldn’t even make a good intern!”
Robert, my apologies. That was not intended as a slur on your captions, but an addition to your list. I actually thought most of your captions were quite funny!
