Star Wars - Administration Comparison

[Infohawk]

I heard someone say today that Bush is more like Rick Moranis's Darth Helmet than James Earl Jones's Darth Vader.

Here's how I see the comparison. (Before you conservatives get your panties in a bunch this is humorous).


The US is the Republic. Everything was nice. There was some strife (trade federation and naboo and 9/11). It was very disturbing but limited. Then the emperor (Wolfowitz) orchestrated a perpetual war (clone wars = iraq war) to destroy the old republic (usa) and its democracy (see diebold machines too).

I know everyone likes Darth Cheney but I think Powell is a better Darth Vader. He used to be good (Powell doctrine / first iraq war) but the emperor pushed him over the edge. I don't know where Bush fits in because he is such a buffoon. He's not impressive enough to be vader. Maybe the guy that gets shot by Han Solo? Cheney is a good Jaba the Hutt mehinks. Where is Luke Skywalker? Kerry was only a weird looking jedi that got defeated in the clone wars alas.

It's true, Jar Jar and Bush both mangle the English language...

Bush is cool and tough, like Han Solo.

Bush is more like...HAL!

"DON'T DO THAT JOHN"

He's more like that dwarf robot from Buck Rogers.

I'd say more like Tim Robbins from Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me I love the few sentences he has.

Besides, Bush and Darth are exactly opposite in the political spectrum. Comparing Darth and Stalin would make hella more sense.

Kerry = Biggs Darklighter (little whiny useless kid)
Rumsfeld = Grand Moff Tarkin (ordered the mass destruction of a planet/Iraq war)
Bush = Darth Vader (perhaps not the ultimate power, but certainly the one appearing to be running the show. also he pwns Biggs)
Ashcroft = Boba Fett (hunt and kill, death to civil liberties as the left says)
Clinton = Obi Wan Kenobi (the last former bastion of Democratic power, but he has passed his time)
Cheney = Emperor Palpatine (no reasons necessary)
???????????? = Luke Skywalker

Intersting comparisons really, I'll think about this one. But those are my initial picks.

Edit: Actually on hindsight, I think I go with Bush = vader after all. I'm also flirting with the Kerry = C3PO idea. He has the personality of a droid.

Bump for dealmonkey who I believe has made star wars references before.
