"The Empire Strikes Bush" - on how Star Wars reflects the current situation in the USA, Osama Bin Laden is a robot created by Sith Lords, and how Bush really, really wishes he could shoot lightning from his fingers and choke people WITH HIS BRAIN.

Who doesn't wish they could do that?

More seriously, though, if the movie is anti-Bush I'd say that alone is a reason for me to like it more than the last two. I'll read the Post article after I actually see the movie tonight.

It's not anti-Bush. It's anti-fascist and addresses the horrors of trading freedom for "security" in the hands of those who, in the end, cannot be trusted.

According to Lucas, it was, in fact, written with Nixon in mind.

The fact that this applies to your King currently is an unfortunate coincidence, brought on by the failure of your education system and the willingness to accept blatant fraud instead of fight by the Democrats.
