I’ve been complaining for days now about the fact that Republicans have yet to net any truly awesome presidential endorsements. Then I received news this morning that the drought was finally over. Actor Sylvester Stallone is officially backing Sen. John McCain in his bid to win the White House.

Transcript:

Brian Kilmeade: “I talked to this famous actor. I asked him who he was endorsing and here’s what he had to say.”

Sylvester Stallone: “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 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.”

Fox News’ Steve Doocy: “Look at that, you go the endorsement of Sylvester Stallone, congratulations.”

John McCain: “I’m going to Philadelphia and running up the steps.”

Yet, of all the Stallone-like things to do, is “going to Philadelphia and running up the steps” really the best choice? Wouldn’t it be way cooler to go into the jungle with nothing but your survivor skills and standard-issue weaponry and take out bad guys for your country? Oh wait, McCain already did that.

And for the record, Stallone makes Chuck Norris look like a total pansy.
