Here's the scene: Republican mayoral candidate Sam Katz is speaking at a rally in South Philadelphia. His wife is there. Members of the Democratic-affiliated electrical and cement masons unions have crashed the event, and are attempting to drown out the candidate with booing and abusive heckling:
According to witnesses at the scene, cement mason Michael Fera - who had heckled Katz at an event earlier in the month - went a step further, badgering Connie Katz with lewd remarks out of the earshot of the candidate as she left the rally.
"You know you want to be with a real man," he allegedly said.
And they leave it at that.
But badgering a wife at a Philadelphia rally? Am I the only person in the City of Brotherly Love who's seen Rocky III?
Let me set the scene: Rocky's being honored at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with the dedication of a staute in his honor. His wife Adrian is there, eager to see her husband announce his retirement from the ring. The Abraham Lincoln High School (which Stallone attended) marching band is there, playing, of course, the theme from the Rocky movies.
And, as anyone who has seen the movie remembers, heavyweight challenger Clubber Lang is there too. After challenging Rocky to a match, he spots Adrian in her fur coat, and this is what he says:
Hey, woman! Hey, woman! Listen here, since your old man ain't got not heart, maybe you'd like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreaming you had a real man, don't you? Why don't you bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man.
My prediction for this election? Pain.
