Hillary "makes Rocky look like a pansy"

...and Mike Easley makes Hillary Clinton look like an idiot:

North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley (D) made his endorsement official this morning, saying that Hillary Clinton “gets it” and is a fighter who he said “makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy.”

“There’s a lot of ‘yes we can’ and ‘yes we should’ going around,” he said, taking what seemed to be a subtle jab at Obama. “Hillary Clinton is ready to deliver. That’s the difference.”

You'd think that a sitting governor would know better than to use a homophobic slur in any context when trying to talk up a candidate he's endorsed.
