Your petroleum...hand it over...
Patrick Ruffini is having a Darth-Vader-as-Republican photoshop contest. I like this one, that Patrick did himself. there's a larger version that shows the details better, such as the picture of Hugh Hewitt on Vader's chest...
One has to put up with so much pathetic Bush-is-Hitler whimpering; might as well laugh at it....
''We're an empire now, Luke, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out.... Bwahahahahaha..."

Unfortunately for democrats, the relentlessly adolescent MoveOn seems to be the only pool of young talent available to their party. If democrats are dissatisfied with the inept leadership of Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Byrd, and Kennedy, just wait.
It's gonna get a whole lot worse.
