"Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday. You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President's motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges," Hillary Clinton said just now at a $100-a-head fundraiser at Town Hall near New York's Times Square, referring to Cheney's efforts shore up Republican congressional support for the Iraq war.

"I'm not invited to their meetings and I don't know what he says or does," she said, in an informal conversation on stage with former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack and retired General Wesley Clark. "But all the brave talk about bringing our troops home, and setting deadlines, and getting out by a certain date just dissipated."

Calling Cheney Darth Vader is almost a Compliment.

Hillary, naming calling is political pandering.

I'll believe that you have a backbone when you call for Bush and Cheney's impeachment.

I prefer cocksucking, lying bigot.
It fits him better than mere Vader.

Darth Vader?

"MOTHERF*CKIN War Criminal" is the correct Cheney designation, Hil.

People who have to resort to "Bush is Hitler," "Cheney is Darth Vader" hyperbole really aren't capable of critical thought.

Cheney & Associates appear as a different species because they ARE a new breed in the political jungle. Remember when the national political conversation involved the proper role and response of government to real issues that faced the people? These issues were often hotly debated. However the common thread in these debates was that the politicians involved had a deep abiding commitment to making government work--liberal, moderate and conservative alike.

In contrast Neo-con's, virtually from the cradle, are imbuded with a deep and abiding hatred of government. Consequently, when given political power, they are incapable of governing. Worse, some justify corruption as what they see as 'raping the whore' that corrupts society.

I hope she apologized to Darth.

Not so! That's an unfair comparison that borders on slander because somewhere deep in in core Darth Vader had a shred of decency.

She hopes he'll return her fire.

It would be like an endorsement, for free!

I can see the corelation between Darth Vader and Cheney!

Dick Cheney looks pissed and nasty, but remember he chickened out of fighting in the Vietnam War after receiving 5 draft deferments despite being physically fit and a right wing hawk.

Perhaps if he had had the guts to fight, he wouldn't be acting in such an ignorant manner.

The Senate votes to condem the MOVEON.ORG ad against Patraeus. Many Democrats vote in favor of condemnation, but Hillary Clinton votes against it.

Again it comes to show she will say or do anything to get elected.

At least Obama had the decency not to cast the vote.

clinton is a Panderer. she is never going to win over middle-america, so if she wins the nomination we will have another Republican President.
