Not So Much
Ok, it was laughable enough when Hillary Clinton tried to portray herself as Rocky. Now McCain is doing it too.
For reference sake, John McCain is 42 years older than Sly Stallone was when he originated that role (Sly was 30).
Indeed, McCain is four years older than Burgess Meredith was when he played Rocky's ancient trainer Mickey.
Think about that for a minute. Old Mickey, the grouchy old coot from Rocky, was nearly half a decade younger than John McCain is now. That's scary.
John McCain casts himself as the movie hero "Rocky" at a rally in Pennsylvania.
In perhaps the corniest political stage crafting ever, the theme song from "Rocky" blared over the speakers as the McCain Straight Talk Express drove into the rally auditorium. None other than the Senator Joe Lieberman introduced McCain as "Rocky McCain!"
