16. That's Why I Didn't Do It
But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if Hillary's Rocky and Apollo is Creed who is Drago...


To mix metaphors people here are beating this analogy to death...

22. He Was Married To Brigitte Nielsen In The Movie
Who Sylvester Stallone married in real life...

That's the fight where he goes to train in Russia to fight Drago... His spirit so impresses the Russians that even Mikhail Gorbachev is cheering for him to beat Drago at the end of the fight...

I generally like the Rocky saga but it became more and more maudlin...

8. He also drank a half dozen raw eggs in one go
If she can do that, I'd probably be impressed enough to vote for her.

21. How many more times are we going to be subjected to this cutsey irrelevancy?
C'mon folks. Mrs. Clinton presents us with enough real issues to get upset about without resorting to these sophomoric "gotchas".

36. You have not only utterly missed my point, but
you seem to be reveling in your error.

BTW: we both support the same candidate, but you are an embarrassment.

24. Good one.
I didn't even know that. I haven't seen any of the Rocky's or the Rambos, as they came before I was born and I'm not a fan of Sylvester.
