Cheney, Bush, Cheney's Wife All Into Cheney-Vader Comparison

The joke's on Vice President Dick Cheney. Apparently, around the White House, they're OK with that. As he launched into a health-care speech Wednesday, President Bush warmed up his audience with a nod to Halloween, at Cheney's expense.

"This morning I was with the vice president," Bush told a gathering of grocery manufacturers. "I was asking him what costume he was planning. He said, 'Well, I'm already wearing it.' Then he mumbled something about the dark side of the force."

Cheney knows that Bush is actually Pinocchio to his Geppetto.

I love the way that Bush's handpicked audiences of wingnuts laugh at his so called humor. It always reminds me of one of the 17th century European Absolutist monarchs, surrounded by scores of snickering sychophants- all just hanging on his majety's words- waiting for permission to laugh.

I know people have referred to cheney as Darth Vader, but hell people, why would you want to insult Darth Varder. As compared to cheney, he's a hell of a nice person.

When I took my son to see the Star War movies I always wondered what the guy under the Darth Vader costume looked like.

No wonder he almost blew a guys face off he should have had his mask on!

I liked seeing the president having fun, and poking fun at those nutzo attacks of the left.

*********************************************
BUSH'S CODE

Have you noticed that Bush's speeches are very carefully crafted, so that he is speaking in code?

(1) Stupid Sheep - believe everything as fact
(2) His Base - know everything is doublespeak
(3) Media - give him benefit of the doubt

The way to know what he's up to is to reverse everything he says. What is true is untrue. What is untrue is true.

They're so god-damn stupid they aren't even aware that the comparison is a serious "insult" , not a compliment. Guess thats the way these creatures see life , with their heads being up their ass and all. No wonder they've screwed things up so badly. Don't know who's worse , these slimeballs or the moronic voters that put them in the Whitehouse.

Hitler was nice to his Alsatian hound Blondie.

I suspect Bush kicks Barney when his web cam is off. Bush dropped the dog on the tarmac at LBJ airport. Of course Bush had an excuse. He was drunk.

Just for the record, I invented the name "Darth Cheney" here on the pages of HuffPo.

You're welcome.

My biggest fear...
history will see Osama Bin Laden as the hero of this story.

No, Darth was someone with a soul, which cheney has none. Cheney is the Hanibal Lechtor of crimminals who devours his prey, stalks his prey, has zero remorse, is a socio path, who would lie to your face, as he stabs you and your family in the back. Cheney is Satan.

The price of gasoline is three times what it was when this crime syndicate took over. And people think W has screwed up everything he's touched? He and cheney smile everytime they think about that one. Go to Truthout.org and read the post "Voracity" from Le Monde Diplomatique today. You'll see what they've been up to.
