Obama V Clinton: It's getting nasty

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have clashed while attending a weigh-in for their upcoming title fight in Las Vegas.

'Sugar' Barack Obama and his entourage made a noisy arrival when they reached the scales at the MGM Grand. "We gonna slam that ho!" shouted Oprah Winfrey, Obama corner woman, as she carried the WBA title belt above her head. Entering the stage to the tune of "We are Family" by Sister Sledge, the Obama posse, dressed in identical white and sequinned tracksuits was an intimidating sight.

"Where dat beaaatch" hollered Obama into the microphone he had swiped from the hand of ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jnr. "Where she at? Huh?" Just then, the sound of more music filled the packed arena - this time it was the Clintons, Chelsea, Bill and defending WBC champ Hillary - entering to the sound of "The Boys are back in town" by Thin Lizzy.

The Clintons, all dressed in sombre black suits did not show any emotion as they entered the stage. "I 'is here player" goaded Hillary to Obama and the two groups approached each other menacingly. At one stage it looked as if the fight was going to happen there and then - but luckily larger than life promoter, Larry King, stepped in to calm both combatants.

"I gonna whup her ass" sneered Obama - his shout met with whoops of delight from Winfrey and cutman Colin Powell. "This aint' going the distance - she going down - 'ain't nothing going to be finer - than me decking Hillary in Carolina" rhymed Barack into the microphone.

Clinton responded quickly "Your punching above your weight - it'll be over in 5" Suddenly all hell broke loose on the stage. Later reports suggested that Chelsea Clinton mouthed a racial slur, though I didn't see it. Bill Clinton and Colin Powell began grappling and police rushed the stage to stop Hillary and Barrack from trading punches. One things for sure - the gloves are off and things are getting nasty.
