Clinton calls Cheney Darth Vader
Email
ShareSeptember 20, 2007 12:40 AM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: In the middle of Manhattan’s Time Square, Senator Clinton got a surprise visitor to her Fundraiser/Town Hall meeting – retired General Wesley Clark. Gen. Clark who has recently endorsed Clinton, was in the neighborhood at Barnes and Noble promoting his new book, before he dropped in on the Senator and Governor Vilsack.
"Enough about me," Clinton sighed after a generous introduction from Clark. The low dollar fundraiser in New York for over a thousand people, prompted Senator Clinton to deliver one of her longest Town Hall meetings, with topics ranging from her recent health care proposal to the situation in Darfur. Speaking about Iraq and the measures Democrats are taking in the congress, she said "you can always tell when the republicans are restless - because the Vice President's motorcade pulls into the Capitol. Darth Vader emerges. And honestly I’m not invited to their meetings I don’t know what he says or does."
Watch the video HERE.
Gen. Clark compared Petraeus' situation to that of a quarterback asked to come half-way into the fourth quarter, with the game 20 points down, in the rain, and told to just “throw and throw and throw.” Clinton said of Petraeus: “he is an extraordinary leader, a man worthy of our respect and our admiration he was given a very difficult in my view unachievable task.”

If Dick Cheney called Hillary "Darth Vader," everyone would be calling for his resignation. Long live the double standard.

AEM, what in the world are you talking about? Politician's always make sarcastic comments about one another. And furthermore, you Bush supporters are an endangered species. I am always suprised when I find one, like seeing an ostrich anymore.

Bushbaby and darth vader will fly in the dark star away from earth as they flee the justice that hunts for them. Perhaps the sequel will be a new colony of toe tapping republicans in a bathroom stall, far...far...away....

I'm sure that Cheney thought it was pretty funny.

I've been calling Dick C. Darth for years. Glad to see Hillary is finally recognizing and putting a name to the evil that has been lurking in the White House since 2000... Too bad Hillary didn't see that evil when she voted to give the Emperor and Darth a blank check to start a war of choice in Iraq...

So what's so shocking about Hilary Clinton calling Dick Cheney "Darth Vader" ?
My only question is:
QUESTION: IF DICK CHENEY IS INDEED "DARTH VADER"; WHO THEN IS HIS SON "LUKE SKYWALKER" ?

Hillary can call Cheney "vader" and we can call her "Hitlery". When Hitlery abolished the american constitution in 2010 she will establish concentration camps for all Christians.

Hillary/Gulianni/Romney/McCain/Obama/Edwards all your worst choice for America. All the same ideoligy just different packaging to appeal to the largest demographic. Vote for Ron Paul if want some real change, if you want America to be respected again not just feared.

The trouble with that quote it insults Darth Vader & make Darth look like a Saint...by the way Bill hH are you afraid of Women...it sounds like it!
Posted by: zorar | Sep 20, 2007 12:46:25 PM
I don't know if we should put Christian s in concentration camps, but I would be for putting duct tape across the mouths of at least 50% of them & Bush to help the fight against global warming
& polution...

The only thing I can find wrong with Clinton's comparing Cheney to Darth Vader is that it is an insult to Darth Vader.

hillery clinton was talking about her plan for socialized medicine the other day and I quote, "this is a plan that unfortunately makes a lot of money for a lot of people." what does this idiot have against people making money. are we supposed to believe that she doesn't make entirely too much money? this is the same person who wants to take the profits from the oil companies to finance her own adjenda. communism anyone?

I am waiting for congress to pass a measure saying that she's not playing fair. We're taking our balls and going home, oh wait we can't our interns are to busy fondling them right now.

I wonder how Hillary feels about being pimped around the country in a losing battle by her adultering husband. Heck, they are already trying to "sew up" the nomination with their "dirty money". When you have as much junk in the trunk like Hillary and skeletons in their financial closet as both the Clintons do, you don't have to wait long or look far before you read about or hear another news story about the Clintons' backwoods ethics or antics!

All you Republicans here make me laugh. You're paying $100 for pills that are sold everywhere else in the world for $5...and you think that's just dandy. I thought all you right-wingers hated welfare. But that's what you're doing...subsidizing all those other countries by paying skyrocketing prices here. Just think...poor illiterate Brazilians are getting cheap medicine because YOU'RE PAYING OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH PRICES! Bet you're glad you got that $300 tax refund seven years ago from Bush Jr. and his bosses at the pharmaceutical companies!
Posted by: wilder5121 | Sep 21, 2007 12:59:31 PM
Go Hillary! I myself think he looks like an evil sorcerer the way he rubs his hands and has darting eyes and an evil grimace...He reminds me of the banker in "It's a Wonderful Life" who steals Jimmy Stewart's money from his old uncle and then blames it on the uncle, falsely accusing him of losing it. Heartless, mean and money-grubbing....that is evil-Dick-three-quarters-of-the-way-out-Cheney
