Cheney got some laughs when he told the audience that he had asked his wife, Lynne Cheney, whether the label Darth Vader applied to his personality. According to Cheney, his wife said it "humanizes you."

Darth Vader is the nicest thing I'll call you, you treasonous traitorous venal sell out to the Saudis! You should have asked her if it bothers her that many citizens WANT YOU EXECUTED FOR TREASON.

[WillPower]

I thought you libs were against the death penalty.

[LivingStardust]

I am a Constitutionalist and not a party member. I support the death penalty for all in the GOP.

[LivingStardust]

And some in the DNC.

[LivingStardust]

You partisan douche bag.

[DMcD]

This SOB is proving himself , in front of the whole world , to be everything he's been accused of --- a war criminal and pshycopath. He has absolutely no conscience whatsoever , doesn't give a god-damn how many die for his lies and then , thinks its all very "funny". I'm not laughing and anybody that that is , is a party to his crimes.

For the attention of fellow bloggers; I was in the middle of editing a writeup on Cheney and Huffpost made it go away.

Obviously they both completely miss the point, Darth vader was the ultimate bad guy and here it appears Cheney and his wife revel in the label. Now I think I'm beginning to understand that conservatives are just not a thinking people, this also explains how GW got selected twice.

Being referred to as Darth Vader is a compliment for this war Coward, how about asking your wife, Dickie boy, what she thinks about, "Human cowardly trash"? Why would I say that about another human? Because you have no compunction, while glorifying a war of lies, in sending soldiers to their death while your past deferments show a propensity to be the coward, you are.

[nancytheragingliberal]

Nelson R., Oh, I just love your way with words. How true, Bravo, Bravo. Yes, Sure-Shot, Beast 666 Dickie has no problem lying, stealing, manufacturing a fake war, sending our teen-age soldiers to their doom, while his Halliburton stocks go through the roof. Coward, never serving, sniveling coward. There is a special place in hell, waiting for this demon.

[NelsonR]

Thank you Nancy, there are others then who see Cheney for what he is. Myself, I could never live with myself but he has no problem with reality. That is despicable.

[MrKnuckles]

The joke is thinking anything like jolly comedy could humanize torture fan and full time soulless monster, Dick Cheney.

[guntotinganglion]

Considering how evil Lynne Cheney is, I'd have to assume that people calling her husband Darth Vader would make her smokin' hot. Put a shotgun in his hands, and let him have just blasted someone in the face...wel­l, let's just say it would be unwise to get between them.

That's a major eeeeeeewwww right there! Gives me the willy's!

[intuition]

I hardly call it a joke when it must be read!

[dogman44]

Darth Vader was evil for sure. But he was also a warrior willing to risk his life fighting for the evil he
believed in. Cheney is just evil, for sure. He's no warrior, he's no Darth Vader. He is more like...oh say
pond scum.

[Bobleblah1]

Got Satan?

[CharltonHestonsGUN]

Its no wonder his wife and daughter are lesbians..­.........I­f I were a woman I would be one also with a pieceofshit father like that.

[Durango]

Just goes to show how out of touch the TV and Radio Correspondents are.

If, as the Repukes keep telling us, we are in a time of war, all such frivolity is out of line.

If not, the Correspondents should be doing EVERY THING IN THEIR POWER to not suck up to the fools they are supposed to be covering.

Foruth Estate my ass. Sock puppets more like it.

[SolarPowerGuy]

Well it SHOULD bug her that people call Cheney Darth Vader! Cheney is Chancellor Palpatine, for heaven's sake... get your Star Wars straight, people! :^)

[nogimmicks]

Good point. However Cheney is not pretending to be good and does not have a dual personality. He is pure "in-your-face" evil.

[JoeBlough]

I love it when our leaders kill soldiers and laugh heartily all on the same day.
