Sen. Clinton told the AFL-CIO yesterday that she is a lot like Rocky Balboa. "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. And neither do the American people," Clinton said. Well, here are ten reasons not to compare oneself to Rocky.

(1) Rocky suffers from a brain injury involving flashbacks and spontaneous headaches.
(2) Rocky compulsively takes off for mountaintops.
(3) Tanktops are so yesterday.
(4) Rocky's first pupil tried to beat the crap out of him.
(5) Mr. T did beat the crap out of him.
(6) Rocky tapped his wife's crazy brother to manage his money and lost everything.
(7) Rocky chases chickens.
(8) Rocky concedes that he is a moron ("You gotta be a moron to wanna be a fighter.")
(9) "Yo" is not a proper greeting for foreign heads of state.
(10) Rocky supports John McCain

The Ohio Attorney General announced today that conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh will not be indicted for voter fraud. You may recall that in the days leading up to the Ohio Democratic primary, Limbaugh encouraged the GOP faithful to cross-over and vote for Hillary as part of "Operation Chaos." While this news will come as a disappointment to many, the consolation prize - a landmark quotation from the Attorney General's office - is certainly sweet.

"We have no intention of prosecuting Rush Limbaugh because lying through your teeth and being stupid isn't a crime," said Leo Jennings, a spokesman for Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann.

The GOP faithful who followed Limbaugh's advice may not be so fortunate. Under Ohio law, primary voters must sign a form attesting under penalty of prosecution (a felony) that they support the principles of the party whose ballot they are requesting.
