What are the odds that Darth Vader would go down and not take
Chimpy with him? Dick and George are fussing and separated, right. Darth Vader is so much smarter than that lying lunatic * and Darth Vader has had months now of separation to scheme, to plot about how he will save himself. I find it hard to believe that Darth Vader wouldn't hand Chimpy over on a platter just for the fun of it. You?

2. Battling Alphas (well, I guess George is an Alpha) = wicked NASTY fight
This is going to get extremely ugly and highly "us" versus "them" before it's all over.

3. They've seemed to be using Nixon's playbook
since they've taken over the WH. Now that the word is out that this administration is turning on each other, it reminds me of the Nixon administration during its last days.

If you haven't seen Oliver Stone's Nixon, I highly recommend it.

5. I refuse to let you besmirch the dark lord of the sith
Comparing these neocon bastards to the greatest villain in pop culture is beyond reproach. Besides, Vader crossed over for love; these fascists never had a heart to begin with. I demand you ascribe a new moniker!

To answer your question, though: neither Bush nor Cheney will suffer serious repercussions. Not in this world. But when they go to their Christian heaven, I'm sure they'll be met with a surprise or two.

9. Very good! Lucas did, in fact, base Sidious on Richard Nixon
I read that nugget in a Peter Biskind essay. I suppose that would make Endor Indochina, no? And I suppose that means we've been living on the Death Star all this time...

Not the most comforting thought.

10. Now were talking! Darth and Buck Rogers (Ginger underneath)
The media is laying the table for our nightly meal over the next few months. This is serious stuff to them because it means ratings. What's bigger than the boy king and Darth duking it out. The man * called daddy, the self-selected number two who became one (with the spirit of evil), the master of disaster, and the nastiest shit within a 90 mile radius of our nations capitol: this man and * don't like each other anymore. What a shocker! I think that they are both right in their opinions of the other.

Let the games begin :evilgrin:

14. This is serious stuff that an administration
Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 03:45 PM by DemReadingDU
deceived us, led us into an unjust war, outed CIA agent, and the list goes on. We all know it's important, not just the media.

So why does Matt Lauer on the Today Show interviewing Tim Russert Wednesday morning Oct 12, 2005, ...Matt says, Does anyone care about Karl Rove and all that, except for those in the media?

reference the last half-minute of this video clip...
http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Today-Russert-Bad-poll-Bush-10-13.wmv


Then this morning Mary Matlain was on Imus, and she says the same thing...the people don't care, there's no crime committed, let's talk about all the positive things going on in Iraq.

They must be in denial!

oops, minor typo
