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."

You can get his old shows on DVD. Mrs WBill worships at the temple of Jack Lalanne. He used to be on ESPN2 at about 6am...not sure if he still is.

He was doing excellent low-impact, aerobic exercise, before it was called 'low-impact aerobics'.

[wbill]

Demolition Man was totally tongue-in-cheek. But it was a very, very accurate portrayal of the future, IMHO. Bunch of zombies sitting around thinking "HAPPY HAPPY" thoughts. Count me with the Dennis Leary crowd.

Hopefully, I won't need to learn how to use the three seashells.

[Dahoser]

My money is on Chuck, but not for nothing, hitting the ground hard after a Ken Norton punch is no dishonor.

[The Pack Knight]

Ken Norton was a beast. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could have knocked Chuck Norris out in his prime, too.

Hopefully, I won't need to learn how to use the three seashells.

You'll have to do it for "the planet" or you'll be an eco-criminal. In the future nobody will spare a square. ;-)

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

Too bad Keifer Sutherland is from a long line of far-Left Canadian socialists.

[Kirkwood]

Stallone is only about 5’6”. Camera angles and putting him with other short actors or having him stand on a platform makes him look bigger than he really is. He has no reach and would get clobbered in a real fight.

[LibLieSlayer]

Being an actor himself... mcinsane thinks having two other actors that play tuff guys in the movies... deciding the outcome of the Presidency... is just fine and dandy. This guy owes us for the loss of two fighter jets and the First Amendment!

You guys seem to think this would be hand-to-hand combat.....

Never bring shoes to a gun fight!

[Lions Gate]

Audie Murphy could eat all of these guys for breakfast.

[stuartcr]

I doubt he would say he would lose...I’d take Lee.

[killermedic]

I love these pics! Good job. The one of the Howitzer is especially humorous

[Bat_Chemist]

Amen. Thank God for our guys, and thank you for your service. Maybe when your son gets out he can be a movie consultant to Hollyweird...

[Beckwith]

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

Some of them were pretty good.

[mad_as_he$$]

I have got them in the family business for now. It is somewhat boring but I am setting up a training group. One of the things that seems to come out of SpecOps training is the large ability to train people with almost unlimited patience.

[savedbygrace]

Stallone has long range weapons. Norris is toast.

;-)

[Pablo64]

He was ahead of his time on lots of things. He opened the first weight training gym in New York (I believe) in the 1930’s, even though everybody (doctors and such) said it was not good for you. He had to give keys to local athletes on the sly because coaches wouldn’t let their players go and pump iron, saying it would make them become “muscle-bound and slow”.

[Secret Agent Man]

Great, John. Just what the campaign needs - two more old guys fighting each other.

Sad thing is John thinks this is a really hip and cool comeback to Huck/Norris. It was sad Huck thought it was cool to use Norris. Tells you where these guys are coming from. Guy older than dirt, meet guy born before fire.

[karnage]

Norris was an actual world champion martial artist. I don’t know that about Bruce Lee.

[Miss Behave]

Oh good grief.
