Analogies

I read this except from an AP news article a couple of days ago:

"Cheney has always been straightforward. But when he walked in Bush's shadow he had to temper his public remarks, stay on the White House message. He could manipulate the levers of powers behind the scenes, which conjured up the image of "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader."

Honestly, did she ever watch the Star Wars saga? He is much more analogous to Darth Sidius, aka Senator Palpatine, aka the Emperor.

My apologies to Ian McDiarmid.
