Hillary Compares Cheney To Darth Vader
Hillary Clinton isn't holding back on how she feels about Dick Cheney. "Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday," she said at a fundraiser last night. "You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President’s motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges."
This seems like a good plan to ease any left-wing unease about her: Unite everybody around their shared hatred of the Bush/Cheney White House.

I suppose this analogy has been thoroughly absorbed into popular culture and is now firmly planted in the subconsciouses of even the politically correct.
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving son of a bith.

I'd argue that Cheney is really the Star Wars "Emperor" or Sith Master...rather than Darth Vader, the loyal servant.

Since we all need to have some laughs about Cheney, I think you'll enjoy this video I found on YouTube - hes not Darth in this one, but he's still a monster

I'm no great fan of Hillary, and it's not like the joke is an original one, but I credit her some chutzpah for this one.

Sure the joke is old, but it still amuses me (even more so that Clinton said it).

Hillary needs to stop with the cute name calling and start ripping them to shreds on their policies.
I mean, isn't there more than enough to pin on Bush/Cheney? They're destroying the country for god's sake. Enough with the pussyfooting, out with the long knives.

Sometimes a bit of humor is more effective than vitriol and harangue.

If she keeps this up I won't feel quite so bad about voting for her if she gets the nomination. I'm still looking at Richardson, Edwards, and Dodd.

Can't be an accurate accusation. From what I remember, Darth Vader still had some good in him.

Woah! She's itchin' for a fight. She's going to give as good as eh gets. I wonder if someone is writing her material or if she's this good on her own.
The image of Darth Vader, heavy breathing and black cape streaming behind, striding into the Capitol to have a little chat with the suddenly cowering Republicans, is vivid and hillarious.
Mockery and derision. I love it.

Why does Hillary want to deride Darth Vader?

Sally18, I don't think Clinton yet knows that Cheney is her father...
