Yesterday, Hillary Clinton referred to Dick Cheney as Darth Vader. While this is a mere reflection of the rampant political immaturity that exists amongst American politicians, I would like to, for the sake of satire, continue Hillary's silly metaphor. I'd say Hillary's the garbage squid Luke Skywalker encountered in the garbage chute of the Death Star during Episode IV. Hillary is always letting her opportunistic eye surface from the sludge of her self-centered politics when looking to take advantage of a given situation. Interestingly enough, when things go awry, Hillary quickly disappears just as Luke's slippery tentacle-eyed squid foe. Point in case, during the aftermath of 9/11 Hillary's opportunistic eye and rhetoric only surfaced at locations where cameras and media coverage was present. At one such surfacing, New Yorkers, sensing her ingenuity and obduratism, promptly booed her off the stage. She, like her tentacled-eyed squid counterpart, quickly vanished never to been seen talking to fear-suffering New Yorkers during the 9/11 aftermath.
Post Script: Hillary's comment on Dick Cheney though true in its reflection of a dearth of moral character, does not do justice to Darth Vader's infamy. Perhaps, something a bit more sad, loathing, and physically cowardly would be a more astute metaphor. Any ideas?
