Dick Cheney Is Dressing Up For Halloween

As Darth Vader.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Even Vice President Dick Cheney is dressing up for Halloween — according to President Bush.

Speaking before a Grocery Manufacturers Association gathering Wednesday, Bush suggested his No. 2 is going as “Star Wars” nemesis Darth Vader this year — even though he’s not wearing a costume.

“This morning I was with the vice president,” Bush joked. “I was asking him what costume he was planning. He said, ‘Well I’m already wearing it,’ and then he mumbled something about the dark side of the force.”

Cheney has often been likened to the infamous character, most recently by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at a fundraiser in September.

Personally, I never got all the comparisons of Bush/Cheney to Vader.  I mean, I get them, but they’ve never done much for me.  Hell, if the “dark side” will cut my taxes, reduce entitlement spending and promote an independent (as opposed to dependent on government subsidy) citizenry I’ll vote for ‘em.
