"When it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never get

[jenmito]

up." :rofl: (She meant she never GIVES up. Freudian slip?) Hillary comparing herself to Rocky Balboa who lost the fight. She had it written down and everything!

[jgraz]

1. Makes perfect sense.

If she got up, she'd be vulnerable to the sniper fire.

[jenmito]

3. Yeah, but

Rocky wasn't vulnerable to sniper fire...unless I missed that part. :D

[DarienComp]

5. No, but Rambo was.

Maybe she's misspeaking again.

[jenmito]

9. ...

:rofl:

[pompano]

33. No, No, No....You're clouding the issue.

All these whoppers are hard enough to keep sorted out. This was the Rocky Balboa comparison. The Rambo deal was an earlier whopper about Commando "corkscrew" Snipers and the Kool-Aid Crew confabulations.

I know, I know ...the whoppers are hard to index kron and logical but these are HUGH!!!1!!! I'm series.

:rofl: :sarcasm:

[Hepburn]

13. OMG....

...I just spit a half-chewed Reese's Peanut Butter Cup on my keyboard when I read your post!

:rofl:

[MadBadger]

2. I'm surprised more people besides KO arent showing this very funny blunder.

[jenmito]

8. So am I. Did Abrams show it?

[dchill]

18. Yes.

Abrams did.
:hi:

[jenmito]

23. Thanks...

I DVRed it and am watching it now. :hi:

[loveangelc]

4. Rocky lost.

[BuyingThyme]

6. In losing he became a winner.

[Teaser]

10. Cause he got the girl.

Maybe, in losing, HRC can find true love.

[BuyingThyme]

15. No, no, no.

He did his best.

Anybody can get the girl.

[Teaser]

19. Not when I was in high school

.

[loveangelc]

44. I'm not being funny, but I think it may be true!

I think she will divorce her husband and find true after she loses.

[Teaser]

47. Good, cause that is

one dysfunctional fucking marriage.

[jenmito]

12. I know...I said so in my OP.

:hi:

[H2O Man]

7. "Rocky"

was a fictional character, the fantasy of someone who never entered the ring for a real fight.

We are in a real fight, and our need is for a real-life candidate. That's why Barack Obama will be the democratic nominee, and the next President of the United States of America.

[jenmito]

17. Yup...

Exactly. :hi:

[marshall]

30. Maybe she took note of Dan Quayle's Murphy Brown reference

Comparisons to fictional television and movie characters doesn't go over well in politics.

[Hepburn]

11. OMG........

....now that is funny as hell!

Thanks, Jen...but be careful: The Hillbots will come after you for being sexist cuz you spotted a mistake by Ms. Hillary Perfect Clinton!

:hi:

[jenmito]

14. Thanks, Hepburn...

but I didn't spot it. Olbermann did. It WAS funny, though! :hi:

[Hepburn]

22. Yep....he did....

...but you caught that and posted on it!

Just watching the 2nd viewing Olbermann right now. :D

[jenmito]

25. Oh ok...

I won't disturb you. :D

[charlie]

16. I thought that's what she said

But I've seen it transcribed as "never give up", so I figured I misheard.

[jenmito]

21. Are you serious? They pulled a "Bush" and changed the transcript???

We need this pointed out, just like they did when BUSH changed the transcript of something HE said wrong.

[charlie]

28. I haven't seen one yet

that's transcribed as "never get up." Here's one:

and plenty of others:

http://news.google.com/news?num=20&q=hillary+%22never+give+up%22+rocky

[jenmito]

35. WOW! They quoted something she never said! Even though she MEANT to say that,

she DIDN'T, and that should be pointed out (and ridiculed). :D

[dchill]

31. I think HER script probably said "I never give up,"

and she read it wrong. Her SCRIPT was probably provided to the transcribers. Media are covering the gaffe - as they have covered others - sometimes.

[jenmito]

36. I'm sure it did...

but is that how it works? People's scripts are provided?

[dchill]

41. I don't know for sure, but this isn't the first time...

that the printed quote didn't match what the reader actually said. It SHOULDN'T work that way, but I think that's often how it does "work."

[mtnsnake]

20. Hillary is more like the NY Giants. She won't be denied the WH & thats all there is to it

Rocky is just someone in a movie who had a similar work ethic as Hillary. Hillary will go above and beyond in real life what Rocky accomplished in the movies. There is simply no stopping the Goddess of Peace.

[jenmito]

26. I know you're a Hillary supporter, but I HOPE you're being sarcastic. n/t

[DemGa]

24. Good lord, can you imagine the attacks quoting a BO slip-up?

Would get quite vicious indeed.

[sailor65]

27. She has a right to play Halo3

just like the rest of us..............

[pompano]

29. I caught that as well.....

...at first I thought I misunderstood what she said. Then I heard it again.

"I never get up".....

:rofl:

[jenmito]

37. Yup...

you heard right! :D

[powergirl]

32. Didn't Rocky lose in the first movie?

Does she want to make that analogy?

:shrug:

[jenmito]

38. Yes...

THAT was pointed out, too.

[Whisp]

34. so much for her 3 am call, if she never gets up.

[jenmito]

39. Exactly.

:D

[anigbrowl]

40. That's all we need, another incoherent president.

Also, will someone explain to Hillary that Sly Stallone is a Republican?

[TLM]

42. Hillary should take note....

When you say "get up" instead of "give up"... THAT is misspeaking.

When you claim you ran from sniper fire when you did not... THAT is lying.

[jenmito]

43. THANK YOU!

Exactly! :toast:

[Beregond2]

45. Oh brother...

She's referencing Rocky? That would have been lame in the seventies. It is so pathetic when sophisticated people try to create a phony rapport with the "great unwashed."

[ecstatic]

46. Not only that, she is pandering. The Balboas lived in PA nt
