THE FORCE IS (NOT) WITH PUS
From today's New York Daily News:
Democrats and Republicans have been using "Star Wars" imagery to attack one another in the past week. But yesterday, director George Lucas made it clear which side he's on.
At a retreat last week for the Republican members of the House of Representatives, lawmakers laughed at a spoof video portraying House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as the evil "Darth Nancy," pursued by virtuous GOP rebels.
Then, on Monday, President Bush reached across the partisan galaxy when he honored Lucas for his pioneering visual effects by presenting him with the National Medal of Technology.
The filmmaker showed all due respect to Dubya at the ceremony. But yesterday he declared The Force is with the Democrats.
Striking back for Pelosi at her Innovation Generation Town Hall, Lucas suggested Dick Cheney controlled Bush.
"The emperor works behind Darth Vader, he doesn't actually stand in front," Lucas said. "I say that in fear of getting hit with a lot of buckshot."
