Cheney’s No Darth Vader

by Paul on September 24th, 2007

Hillary Clinton got plenty of grief over comparing Dick Cheney to Darth Vader, but if she owes anyone an apology it’s Darth Vader.

Unlike Darth V, Dick Cheney is no warrior. Sending other people’s children off to die in a futile, cravenly-conceived war does not bring warrior status.

Likewise, shooting some poor old bastard in the face with a shotgun does not confer the honors that go with being a warrior, even an evil one.

If you want to view Cheney in a Star Wars context, you have to go back the legendary Mos Eisley Cantina bar scene in the original Star Wars, the one that now looks about as impressive as Larry Craig’s stuffed animal collection.

Many of the aliens were puppets with a hidden tech controlling them.

If you compare the bar scene to the Bush White House, Cheney is like the puppet tech, except he has both hands up president Bush’s ass to control his every movement, and you can bet every other sphincter in the oval office has felt the chill grasp of Cheney.

Vader awaits Hillary’s apology.

For bonus laughs, take a look at this send up of Hillary as Lord Vader.
