WASHINGTON --Vice President Dick Cheney, a villain? He knows some people think of him that way.

"People say, `Well, that's just Cheney. He's the Darth Vader of the administration, always taking the dark view,'" Cheney said in an interview Tuesday with the "Hannity & Colmes" show on Fox News Channel.

The two were discussing the bloodshed terrorists could cause if they used a nuclear, biological or other dangerous weapon on an American city.

"Unfortunately, at this stage, I think there's some jeopardy, depending on how the election comes out, as to whether or not we'll be able to continue those policies," Cheney said.

1. Actually, Cheney would love it if a dirty bomb went off on U.S. soil...

The profits for his cronies would be phenomenal...and there would be no end in sight!

4. That's pretty funny

Randi Rhodes is the first person I heard call him Darth Cheney, complete with the background Stars Wars music. I think it's very fitting.

7. Ok, tinfoil time. This sounds like he has been reading that

we think they aren't "worried" enough and therefore, the fix is in. So he comes out and talks about how things are in jeopardy, pending the elections? And in the same breath, refers to self as Darth Cheney?

:tinfoilhat:

8. "always taking the dark view"??? No...

We don't call you Darth because you "always taking the dark view," we call you Darth Vader because you are an evil imperialist. Get it right stupid!

9. And now we all know that there's just a whiny fucking kid in that suit

10. Probably more like Darth Chef.when he's around interns or pages

Leader: Chef, can you hear me? Say Something!
Darth Chef (With a respirator-assisted Vader-like breathing): Hello there, children. How would you like some salisbury steak?
Leader: Yes, go on!
Darth Chef: And for dessert, how would you children like to suck on my chocolate salty balls?
Leader: Oh, you mean like a chocolate candy?
Darth Chef: No, I mean my balls!

:P

13. I hope that George Lucas weighs in on this ...

For example, confronting him: "Mr. Vice President, I know Darth Vader .... and you are no Darth Vader!"
