At Thursday night's debate, McCain had a response for the action star, who has endorsed Republican rival Mike Huckabee:

"Now that Sylvestor Stallone has endorsed me, I'm sending him over to take care of Chuck Norris right away."

That would be great. I have 3 boys, besides the SF one, I have one who flies Coast Guard Helicopters (By the way, did you know that the majority of Coast Guard Helicopter pilots are ex Army Blackhawk pilots?). Mt 3d son did a tour in the Navy and got out and is still trying to figure out what he wants to do (I’m trying to get him to go back in the Marines or Army, without much luck).

[Charles Martel]

Sly has only made about two movies in his entire career.....about 6 times each.

You noticed that, huh? :-)

It's worth noting, however, that Norris starred in bad knock-offs of the Rambo movies.

[boocoowell]

I’m sending the men in white coats to take care of McCain.

[mad_as_he$$]

Thanks to your son for his service.

I have two of them. 160Th SOAR and 1st Spec Forces. They both loved it but have hung up their spurs for now.

[Maceman]

Action stars. Is there anything they don’t know?

[tioga]

this line didn’t just roll off mccain’s lips......it was written for him.........and while these two goofs made their little jokes Romney walked away with the debate.

[MountainDad]

"If Chuck Norris got IED'd, the trigger man would blow up!"

(that's from some infantry guys in Iraq)

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I’ll bet they miss it. One was with 1st Gp. That’s where my son is now. Commands an A Detachment.

Best scene in the movie...

"You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

If he'd been endorsed by Bruce I'd be impressed.

But anyone who spends time in neon-pink Island Shirts deserves to get himself:

[Always Right]

Lots of very experienced fighters thought the exact same thing. The tales of Bruce’s real fights are legendary. Bruce really was more than an actor, he had a lot of experience in what were essentially street fights.

My money would have been on Bruce also. One mistake and you are done. Although Chuck is one of the few people that would stand a decent chance.

[Antoninus]

Sounds like you did a heck of a job raising your kids!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

No, but their Mom did. She made sure they did their homework, got to their sporting events and couple through Eagle Scout. She’s quite the woman.

[mad_as_he$$]

Yup, they got out in November and are just now coming down off of the high. They have worn my a$$ out this hunting season going out almost everyday and finding some mountain that needed climbing.

Thanks to you and your son for his service.

[Charles Martel]

I forgot about that one. That was actually a pretty good movie. Loved the Dennis Leary rant about doing what he wants to do. I also loved the bashing it gave to all the liberal beliefes about how to “fight” crime.

Yep, Demolition Man was a departure from Stallone's usual material. The "ratburger" scene was done especially well.

Both Stallone and Norris are still in good shape, (though I doubt either will match Jack Lalanne for longevity in the physical fitness department). I just wonder how often Chuck has to visit the salon to keep the grey out of his beard (it looks redder than in years past).

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Thank your sons for me. Don’t know what they are doing now, but there are some gret opportunities for people with their experience.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Stallone, the liberal.

Surprise that McCain would have a lib supporter.

[wbill]

Dude, I'd put my money on Jack Lalanne.

And, IMHO, Jack Bauer wipes the floor with both Chuck Norris and Rambo.

The Boogeyman sleeps with a light on in case Jack Bauer is in his closet.

[SuperCapitanAmerica]

Rambo vs Chuck? No contest!

[Constitution Day]

Silly.
