CBS reports:

“This lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy,” said Governor Mike Easley, D-N.C., today, referring to Hillary Clinton. “There’s nothing I love more than a strong powerful woman.”

Lefties are getting their panties in a bunch over the fact that Easley used a word that could be interpreted as anti-gay. Apparently the dictionary agrees. Fine, more blue on blue identity-based violence.

Still, how could Hillary not defend Rocky's honor? She appropriated the myth when she was campaigning in Philadelphia, but as soon as she moves on to another state Rocky's a pansy? She stands by silently while Easley insults the greatest Philadelphia sports hero that never lived? Yo, Hill, where's the loyalty?
