Clinton calls Cheney “Darth Vader”

September 20, 2007

Not that she ever liked him in the first place (and who does, really?), but Sen. Clinton let typical political diplo-speak fall by the wayside last night when she referred to the vice president as such, describing the administration’s attempts to keep Republican lawmakers’ support for the Iraq war.

“Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday,” Clinton said at the fundraiser. “You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President’s motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges.”

I’m not exactly a big Hillary fan, but it’s nice to know that sometimes in Washington they see what the rest of us see.
