Rambo Likes McCain!

(AP (file))
Sylvester Stallone returns to the big screen tomorrow with one more "Rambo" retread and the timing couldn’t be much better for John McCain in advance of next week's Florida primary. Apparently, Rambo likes McCain, according a transcript released by the campaign. While appearing on the Fox News Channel, McCain was shown a clip of Stallone being asked about the presidential campaign.

"I like McCain a lot," Stallone said. "And you know, things may change along the way, but there's something about matching the character with the script. And right now, the script that's being written and reality is pretty brutal and pretty hard-edged like a rough action film, and you need somebody who's been in that to deal with it." McCain's response (confusing which Stallone creation is being recreated this week): "I'm going to Philadelphia and running up the steps."

No word on whether the star will hit the trail but how long before Stallone squares off with fellow tough-guy/Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris?

What is it with the Republican party? Is the key endorsement for each candidate now seen to be a macho action movie guy? Chuck Norris, Sly Stallone, then you have Govenors Terminator and "The Body" Ventura. What''s next? President Hogan? Secretary Rock? Our country has become a bad comic book.

Way too old, as the Huck says. McCain has trouble memorizing his lines. And for God''s sake, don''t interrupt him should he forget where he is in thought. The energetic rabbit, Mitt, is the man. Either him or Paul. Send the others to "pasture".
