Why the fuck is he bringing up Star Wars? This is insane. I'm a huge democrat, but sweet jesus this is a terrible metaphor.

1. Who are you talking about? I've heard there is a scene that may

remind people of bush*s folly and if a Dem Senator (I'm assuming you're at least referring to a Dem Senator) can get that into the thousands if not millions of people's heads who will see that movie, that sounds like a good move to me.

2. I didn't

catch his name, I have the TV on in the other room and am just listening. It was a dem senator from some northeastern state. He had a long last name too, I'll see if I can look up the name.

5. It was really just a fleeting mention

Certainly nothing to get all bent out of shape about.

It's not like his entire speech centered around the Star Wars/Palapatine parallel.

6. There is a line spoken by

Padme about liberty that has stuck with me since I heard it this morning. I would quote it--but I don't want to ruin it for those who have not seen the movie yet.:evilfrown:
