You're More Right Than You Realize
Busy prepping for the CPA exam tomorrow, but just saw something I felt compelled to comment on. In a speech yesterday, Hillary Clinton compared herself to "Rocky", indicating that she never gives up. In talking about ending her presidential campaign, she alluded to the famous training scene in the original film and said it would be as if "Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, 'Well, I guess that's about far enough.'" Well, I imagine it's been a while since she's seen the film so I guess it escaped her attention that Rocky in fact LOSES to Apollo Creed at the end. He does come back to beat Apollo in the sequel, so maybe she's just trying to set up her 2012 campaign.

A lot of people are actually theorizing this. They are calling it (I kid you not) the "Tonya Harding Strategy."
From SNL this weekend on Update:
"Hillary Clinton, on Tuesday, said she is not a quitter and compared herself to Rocky Balboa, the washed up, over the hill, white contender who, despite a herculean effort, is soundly beaten by the charismatic black guy."
I don't know whether I should be proud or ashamed that some of my thoughts are on the same plane as that of SNL's.
