Forgive The Macho Analogy, But When I Was A Kid I Remember Watching George Foreman Fight Five Guys

Forgive the macho analogy, but when I was a kid I have a vivid memory of watching George Foreman fight five guys, one at a time for ten rounds, and win every bout.

As I watched the Benghazi "hearings" I was reminded of this, as a dozen Republicans took turns trying to knock Hillary Clinton down. She took it for 11 hours straight, while they all had to take turns and take breaks, and catch their breath; and yet not one of them managed to knock her down. Not one of them even landed a decent punch. They never once got the "what difference does it make?" soundbyte they were hoping to get, so that Faux News could play it on an endless loop.

I can't believe these buttheads actually thought this would make HER look bad.

and find the George Foreman vs Mohammad Ali fight. I watched it for the first time. I always heard people say, Ali danced like a butter fly, stung like a bee... he sure stung Foreman. 8 rounds he waited to unload on him. Wow.. amazing.

I spent some time with him in the mid-late 90's, he was a man who was really at piece with himself, the money didn't hurt him either!
