Will The Left Start Calling Bush "The Emperor"?

I just finished the novelization of the upcoming "Star Wars" movie, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. First let me say that the movie is going to be awesome. And the people who bitched about the last two won't be disappointed again. But that is the subject for another post.

I'm going under the assumption that most of the dialog in the novel is pretty much verbatim as it will be in the film. And if this is the case, there will be lots of material for the moonbat, conspiracy-theory, "Bush Lied" crew to use as analogy for the current President. Stay with me on this one. Here's a couple of examples:

• "[His] constant, cynical, ruthless maneuvering for power - he carves away chunks of our freedom and bandages the wounds with tiny scraps of security. And for what?"
• "All I know is that things are going wrong here. Our government is headed in exactly the wrong direction."

Sounds like something you'd read at DemocraticUnderground. And here's a good one:

• "...a new day has begun! It is morning in the Republic!"

A not-so-subtle dig at Reagan? Who knows? I know Lucas is a San Fran liberal but I'm not sure if the whole "dark power manipulating things according to a grand plan" thing is pointed at current events or if it's just a general warning against complacency in a democray.

But mark my words, I guaranty that when this movie comes out, there will be people on the Left who will seize upon some of its themes and try to concoct an analogy for the War on Terror, the Patriot Act and the popularity of Bush among the "dopes" in fly-over country - as well as the current "evil" Republican majority in the "Senate".

It's kind of funny considering the Left's inability to decide whether the President is a dope being used by a Karl Rove and Dick Cheney led cabal of power brokers or an actual mad genius creating profits for his oil buddies. In the coming months, they might just lean toward the latter. It wouldn't surprise me if some Liberal columnist actually took the plunge and started referring to Bush as "Darth Sidious". I'm serious.

The real irony is that when you really read about the political manipulation and subterfuge in the story, it sounds a lot more like a certain Senator we all know. Someone who puts on one false face to the public and the media, all the while acting as a "puppet master" within her party to create the ideal situation for her ascending to power and using loyal supporters as her proxies to do most of her dirty work.

And on that topic, apparently there is a controversy brewing over at Penguin Books regarding a book about that same Senator. Drudge has the scoop. Will this book - if released - implicate her as a kind of Sith Lord (or Lady, I guess)? Stay tuned.
