1. Good one!
I have enjoyed your clips immensely in the past few days. No matter what Mr. Simpson thinks. :)

2. I couldn't link to the video...
...However, if Lucas recently came out and ripped Cheney and the rest of the Power Puff Boys--well, that's a good thing.

I can't imagine that Lucas was too pleased to learn that the Republicans--during their secret meeting--created a movie that positioned the DEMS as part of the "dark side." Wasn't Nancy Pelosi represented as one of the Sith?

Maybe ALL of the Republicans need to be locked in a room---with every single episode of Star Wars. From Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi--they should be forced to view the entire series, so they can finally understand that peace is strength and being a warmongering, selfish, manipulative bad boy is not the way to go.

In "Return of the Sith", Lucas took lines straight out of Junior's mouth--and put them into speeches that Anakin made, as he was slipping into the dark side on his way to becoming Darth Vader. "You're either with me or your my enemy!" comes to mind. Also, when Padme sat in the Senate, listening to the evil Palpatine reveal his "new world order" to a clapping/cheering audience--she said, "So this is how liberty dies...to thunderous applause."

Wake up Republicans! Seriously, someone needs to lock them in a room with all of these movies and not let them out until they give up the dark side of the force!
