A Little Star Wars Politics In The News

Posted By Mike on November 1, 2007

According to CNN.com, Hillary Clinton, at a New York fundraiser, recently referred to Vice President Dick Cheney as Darth Vader. See below for the quote.

"Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday," Clinton said at the fundraiser. "You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President?s motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges."

It does not matter your political beliefs, just as long as Star Wars is on the minds of those in charge.

Thanks to Daniel K. and "Skywalker2B" for the heads up.

UPDATE: According to The Wall Street Journal Online, Dick Cheney really does not mind the Darth Vader nickname he has received. According to him: "...Darth Vader is one of the nicer things I?ve been called recently."

UPDATE #2: Click here for the Associated Press article: "Cheney: Being Darth Vader Not So Bad." Apparently, President Bush got in on the act in a speech on Halloween. See below:

"This morning I was with the vice president," Bush told a gathering of grocery manufacturers. "I was asking him what costume he was planning. He said, 'Well, I'm already wearing it.' Then he mumbled something about the dark side of the force."

Thanks to Chad C. for the link.
