Celebrity Stumpers: Sly Stallone Supports 'Rough Action Film' Hero John McCain
Your video library of endorsements that don't matter
With Rambo on his side, presidential hopeful John McCain has nothing to worry about. In this clip from Fox News, an anchor asks actor Sylvester Stallone (a.k.a. Sly) who he supports in the upcoming presidential race. Considering Mr. McCain’s cinematic war-hero history—you know, the whole Hanoi P.O.W. stint back in the 60’s—Mr. Stallone has got to love the guy.
After the Republican senator from Arizona, 71, has a bit of trouble hearing the Fox anchor through his earpiece, they deliver the goods. Here’s what the 61-year-old actor had to say about his primo politico:
“I like McCain a lot, a lot. 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 is being written and the reality is pretty brutal and hard-edged, and like a rough action film, you need somebody who’s been in that to deal with it.”
I agree with Sly! John is the man! Take that Chuckie Norris.
Turn the page on this testosterone driven HYPE, America. It's comical, dated and dangerous. 232 years ago, the Founding Fathers -- intellectuals all -- would have buried this kind of thinking and prism/context defining America and Americans. They were enlightened, not neanderthals. Turn the page!

Enough with the MOVIE scripts and those who live by them!
Chill out renatam, celebrities endorsing candidates is nothing new, even in Rambo style language. I'll tell Sly to stick a sock in it if you tell Oprah to belt up. American candidacies AND presidencies are all built on hype...I mean, how else to describe the Clinton years, 1993-2001? H-Y-P-E!
Ever since Ronnie, the White House has run like a movie script, even more so the campaigns. When O-baby becomes president, I hope he has a script to rule by, don't you?
