Hillary Clinton Claims She Was The Original Rocky

In one of the most shocking revelations of her career, Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton told a meeting Tuesday of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Union that she was initially chosen to play the part of the famous character, Rocky Balboa from the movie "Rocky".

Speaking with the popular theme song from “Rocky” playing in the background, Hillary Clinton spoke of her audition and her being part of initial filming.

"You know back in 1976, if I had not opted out of the movie then my statue would have been where Sylvester Stallone's is today," Senator Clinton mentioned referring to the statue of Stallone beside the steps outside the Philadelphia Spectrum Arena.

Hillary Clinton's announcement raised a spectrum of questions from reporters with "why she left the movie" common with everyone.

In a somber tone Senator Clinton said, "You know there were several reasons I had to opt out of the movie, and I will tell all of you here those reasons today. Firstly, when the original script was read out to me, the film ended with Rocky Balboa throwing the fight after realizing she did not want to be part of the professional boxing world after all and let me tell you I am no quitter.”

“But the most significant incident that sealed my decision was while running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I could not do that as I was under a cloud of sniper fire. I had to constantly duck and rush up the steps and the directors were not comfortable with that. So there I was opting out of "Rocky" but I am glad that Sylvester Stallone did justice to my role," Senator Clinton added with sigh of satisfaction.

Amidst loud applause to her announcement, Hillary Clinton continued by telling her amused audience that even to this date, she is not a quitter just like her incomplete role in "Rocky". "You know, there is so much similarity, “Rocky Balboa” character knew that she could not beat Apollo Creed, yet Sylvester Stallone in reprising the role took Creed to the limit leaving him badly bashed and bloodied." The New York senator added that she, like Rocky, wasn't a quitter.

Shortly after the announcement, political analysts got busy figuring out Hillary Clinton’s reason for revealing an un-authored part of her life. According to Phil Gogh, a political scientist and Democrat strategist, Hillary may have played her masterstroke.

"The way I see it, she wants to bring a more human touch to her candidacy. Hillary's intention may have been to show that she is a human being just as everyone else, capable of inflating a mere imagination of mind into a hyperbole with the aim of impressing her peers," Mr. Gogh suggested.

Meanwhile, the announcement by Senator Hillary Clinton caught Sylvester Stallone, the actor who eventually played the part of "Rocky Balboa" by surprise. According to sources in the entertainment industry close to the actor, he tried calling the New York Senator to find out if her revelation was true but the phone was answered by Chelsea Clinton who told him "that it was none of his business."

Obama philosophy: Deny and destroy. Don't pay for your mistakes. Deny ever hearing or seeing anything. If you don't want to pay for your mistakes just get rid of them or blame someone else.

I think Senator Clinton said it all.."I never quit and I never GET up." Talk about Freudian.

Reganfan---So if it's a cheap lie then they shouldn't lie about it? Your man Obama has lied about some pretty significant issues. The problem that you have is that those lies don't count. Hillary's lies do. That is your small world and it only revolves around Obama. It's the pants up or pants down thing again. We know where your talking from.

Crying Hillary---Muds? I might be immature but Iv'e been around long enough to know that you don't have multiple mud.

Regan---First off you should know that I could care less about how you spell your name. Second off you are stereo typing democrats. You should also know that I could care less about that as I am an Independant. And the bottom line is that Obama lies just like Hillary lies. Deal with it.

BikernAz:
First off you should learn how to spell
reagan! Second, it's you Dems who are
always fooling around with each others
pants, like Barney Frank and
Jim McGreevey!
Bottom line is Hillary is Pinnochio in
a pantsuit!

Wrong Comparison!
The proper comparison is to Pinnochio!
In fact Hillary has told so many lies
during this primary season that she
can play Cyrano De Bergerac on
Broadway!

reganfan--- And Barack has not? Do you think we don't know? Pants up or pants down doesn't fool us, we know what you'r talking out of.

Wrong Comparison!
Pinnochio is Hillary's role model!
In fact Hillary has told so many lies
during this campaign that she could
play Cyrano De Begerac on Broadway!

irma:
Hillary Clinton is Not the Most
qualified candidate for president!
The First Lady Papers she finally released show that her so called
experience is highly exaggerated!
The NAFTA LIE and the Bosnia LIE prove that she is untrustworthy!
She will end this primary contest bloodied and battered and losing to
Obama! Deal with it!

Wright... Yes, we can.
Rezko... Yes, we can.
Farrakhan... Yes, we can.

"Tell me your friends are and I tell you who you are."

OBAMA is a snake in a suit.
Snakes are lethal so be careful folks.

Bill Clinton's company, WJC Investments, LLC, is part owner of an offshore bill payment company called EZ Bill. It is an operation in India. Mrs. Clinton is a big supporter of foreign labor, referring to herself as Hillary Clinton (D) Punjab. She has pushed to get H1B visas increased to 195,000 per year and she is co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, A Project Of The U.S.- India Political Action Committee. It's hard to believe Hillary's rhetoric about saving U.S. jobs when one anti-offshoring group awarded her a "Weasel Award" for jobs offshoring.

Think about this. If Hillary becomes US president, it would be roughly 24 years of just 2 american families running
the white house. Has america run out of other people with the ability to be president? What about the rest of us?
It's been bush - clinton - bush and now, clinton. Maybe Laura Bush will take over from Hillary and then Chelsea
Clinton from Laura. It's a shame. It makes us look stupid to the world. Why complain about other power freaks around the world?

Did anyone else notice Hillary's slip up?

Hillary was trying to say she was just like Rocky, but didn't even know what she was talking about.

"I never get up."

Give me a break. If you're going to tell us your like our hero, know what you're talking about.

All the media slighting, insults, name-calling, condemnations, ridicule and even every one of the news anchors and each and every talking head on the TV attacking her; and every major news paper columnist insulting, trashing and ridiculing her, in spite of her own long time colleagues Sen. Kerry and Sen. Kennedy, Bill Bradley, Bill Richardson and may others betraying her and turning their backs on her and endorsing and campaigning for opponent─ the new kid on the block Sen. Obama─ in spite of shocking defeats and setbacks she had suffered, she had persevered, she had come back to show her power, and persistence, with more determination; more humbleness and grace. She’s my hero; my shinning night in armor who fights relentlessly for us humble folk like us, the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the shift workers, the poor, the ridiculed, the neglected; we the toilers for our hourly wagers, the elderly and the disabled, she’s our champion! For us she cuts a heroic figure, because she keeps on fighting for us! With her determination and tenacity she had shown she’s more than ready to lead our great land; and with the help of humble folks like us─ not like snobs in the media, I know some of you in the media want to burn her on a stake, but at the end mark my words I know she will triumph over all adversity; I know she’s make history! Hillary Clinton is my Joan of Arc!

I think Elliot Spitzer should have got Bill Clinton for his attorney, Then Elliot may hay also got a PAT ON THE BACK!

Hillary Clinton’s “Red Phone” SNL scenarios with panicking and chain smoking Barak Obama-- we think as comedy. But those SNL skits are like the closest we come to discovering the truth about Barak Obama’s real experience. The point is not the fact that Barak was a long time smoker; and we don’t know the consequences he has to face as a result, even if he lives in the White House, but the fact those skits were effective; stated as comedy, when there’s a real prohibition in the media about saying anything positive about Hillary Clinton and anything negative about Barak Obama. Anyway, those skits were convincing and it felt like closest to the truth, while all what we see in the newscasts about Sen. Obama seemed hyped up and made up by the adoring media.

If Sen. Obama is the Democratic nominee, it would be a big mistake! I am sure the Republicans are going to make Rev. Wright his running-mate in the fall. They will tie Rev. Wright around Sen. Obama’s neck like an albatross! Having not won even a one major state during the primaries and having manipulated the caucuses with small groups of zealots, but now not in play for the presidential election, Mr. Obama is going to find himself stuck! Remember, old Ralph is in the game too. That will be end of story for Democrats. The best chance of winning the White House for the Democrats is still with Sen. Hillary Clinton.
