Cheney Knows Some Call Him Darth Vader

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney knows some people think of him as a villain.

"Of course, I have my view, and people will say, 'Well, that's just Cheney. He's the Darth Vader of the administration, always taking the dark view,'" Cheney said while speaking on the "Hannity and Colmes" show on Fox News Channel.

There are many parodies online where people do compare Cheney to Darth Vader.

Cheney also discussed the bloodshed terrorists could cause if they used a nuclear, biological or other dangerous weapon on an American city.

He said the threat is very real and efforts are needed to make certain that the United States isn't struck again.

2. I wouldn't use that comparison
Darth Vader was a nice little boy at one time. dick has never been a nice anything. As a kid he probably threw firecrackers at cats. There has to be some sort of warped "conservative" DNA.

8. Right Boss
It's a bad comparison. Darth is not nearly as evil as Cheney.

27. You can see that again. "Darth is not nearly as evil as Cheney"!
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 03:55 PM by Tight_rope
People like Cheney make me hope/wish that this is a sub-level below HELL! And if so that Cheney's soul and the likes of him are deemed there forever lasting.:mad:

6. Question for Vice President Cheney
Would you run the next terrorist attack in the same way you ran 9/11 and the anthrax attacks?

If not, what would you do differently?

Would you still refuse to testify under oath, alone and on the record after the next terrorist attack?

Curious in Texas.

He really wants to be called the Emperor, though

7. He's got it all Wrong! I wonder if the dicktraitort knows this one:
Darth Chenious (is like Darth Sidious: the source of the dark side of the force, kind of a deadly and criminal "plague").


and his "AWOL Clone":

32. OK. Let's see...
As per: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086190/quotes

Memorable Quotes from
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

(about Darth Vader)
Obi-Wan: He's more machine now than man; twisted and evil.

Score.

Moff Jerjerrod: Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence...

Darth Vader: You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule.

Moff Jerjerrod: I assure you, Lord Vader. My men are working as fast as they can.

Darth Vader: Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them.

Score again.

Moff Jerjerrod: The Emperor's coming here?

Darth Vader: That is correct, Commander. And, he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress.

Moff Jerjerrod: We shall double our efforts.

Darth Vader: I hope so, Commander, for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.

Chenious? Forgiving? Nahhhhhh. Can't be..

18. Puppetass of hate, to be more correct. Whatever is in his heart,
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 02:07 PM by shain from kane
it isn't love. Unless it's love for money. And shouldn't he have enough of that already?

Whereas, I'm "King Midas in Reverse."

Darth Vader provided his troops with more body armor.

23. I know what damage nuclear/biological weapons ...
could do on an American City, because the US Military continues to prove it by using it on other people... I don't need Cheney to remind me that we are using WMD's on Iraq. I know that already. Fricking Stupid Head.

28. Not me -- I call him 'Darth Cheney'!
He's just not as lovable as Darth Vader, nor as good looking as Darth Maul.

30. I wonder how James Earl Jones feels about that
I doubt he'd welcome the association. Darth Vadar would keep better company than Dick Cheney.

38. Darth Vader fought alongside his troops.
Think Dick would do that? If he so much as heard a gunshot he'd make tracks for his undisclosed security hole.
