Far too much has already been made in the press about perceived parallels between the Bush administration and the new Star Wars film, Revenge of the Sith. That much said, on deeper inspection, the similarities between Darth Vader and George W. Bush are striking:

Back in 1983, Star Wars technology became both the inspiration and name for Ronald Reagan's seemingly fantastic (or at least, fantastically expensive) space-based missile defense system.

That's why they killed Christ." On this Easter Sunday, it is worth noting that the similarities between Jesus and Tom Delay are striking: […]

Sooner or later, every president is the subject of a "psycho-history." These works usually claim to explain the policies, behavior and even mannerisms of the occupant of the Oval Office based on a pseudo-psychological examination dating back to his childhood.

Only days after the Armstrong Williams paid-for-pundit debacle, President Bush used his January 12 "town hall meeting" to once again reach out to African-Americans. this time on his Social Security privatization plan.
