Hillary Calls Cheney "Darth Vader"

Politico:

"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."

If I remember my story correctly Darth Vader was a good man who lost the will to resist evil, thus taken by the darkside. cheney however, was born with that affliction.

COMMANDER, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans, and bring me the Ambassador. I want her alive!

[jj]

...and Matt Drudge has enough material to masturbate over for another week.

[Earthsaver]

Hillary called Mr. Cheney "Darth Vader', than jumped on her broomstick and flew away.

[micdago]

Geeze, Hill -- what cha got against Darth Vader to compare him to a prick like Dick?

[dr4Will]

Hillary has it right--cheeny is a lying right wing fanatic who is responsible for the dictatorial regulations he put bush up to and the Iraq war--soon they will only have memories in the jail house--

Their best hope is to be in Paraguay and Dubai,

fighting the extradition demands from the Hague.

after a quick departure, fleeing justice from US!

The dick is sacred


It is interesting that Cheney critics delicately shy away from using his ready-made nickname, Dick.

P*ssy is a commonly used pejorative here on Huffpo, yet some feel the male genitalia are sacrosanct. For these people, calling Cheney Dick is blasphemy.

It reminds me of the photo of Abu-Ghraib that featured Private Lynndie England pointing at a man’s genitals (after her superiors no doubt ordered her to do so.) It was a woman failing to show proper deference to maleness. She was pilloried, punished and blamed for Abu-Ghraib, while a video showing a male troop anally raping a female detainee was quietly suppressed.

Great saying, Hillary. I agree with the next American President. Cheney is the worse case scenario for America and the hidden force of evil behind comical Bush.

Don't forget that this guy voted to keep Nelson Mandela in prison.

[johnnyjust]

Hillary, the consensus builder.

More missteps from someone wishing to attain the world's highest office.

Little justajonnymop said something stupid again.

[speakingtruth2power]

I await the day he just doesn't
but I'm not holding my breath!

Vader is fictional.
Chaney is a Facsist in the classical sense and is very real.
A sea of blood and economic hadrship has and will continue to result from his rise to power.

OK, so Hillary has a sense of humor. She is just calling it like it is. He hides behind his smirk like darth vader hid behind his mask. And I'm going to add my thoughts on health care since everyone else is. First get rid of all insurance agencies. All they are is middle men who pay thier exec's big bonuses and are just paper pushers paid to deny claims. Second hospitals and doctors in cities should form a working relationship, set fair prices for visits and operations and people can pay them a monthly fee to use their facility, employers should like this because it takes them out of the responsibility. Third, hospitals and doctors can make extra money by specializing in areas of research so they can apply for grant money. Lastly who will pay for the indigent. Hospitals will receive money from the federal govt, state and city. Also, cities will have to end the homeless situation. People will have to do "something" if they want any money or medical assistance, but they will not be allowed to wander the streets drugged out and drunk.
