Celebrity Deathmatch: Rambo vs. Walker

Let the battle begin:

After Mike Huckabee enlisted action star Chuck Norris to watch his back on the rough-and-tumble campaign trail, John McCain is tag-teaming with Rocky himself.

Sylvester Stallone told FOX News that he’s supporting the Arizona senator for the 2008 presidential nomination — McCain, a former Vietnam POW, is the real Rambo, Stallone seemed to reason.

“I like McCain a lot,” Stallone said in an interview that aired Thursday. “Things may change along the way, but there’s something about matching the character with the script, and right now the script is being written and reality is pretty brutal and hard edge and like a rough action film, you need somebody who’s been in that to deal with it.”

I predict that both candidates will make a joke about this in the debate tonight and Huckabee's will be funnier.

Allah has video of McCain reenacting a run up the steps in Philly
. Pretty funny.

Oh, so many action-star references in our future.
