Poll question: Which Star Wars quote applies most aptly to Bush?

Which of these classic lines best sums up your feelings about Bush and his antics lately?

[Caution]

1. BEST POLL EVER n/t

[Plaid Adder]

10. Wow, high praise!

Considering some of the polls I've seen run in here...

We now return you to your regularly scheduled hive of scum and villainy,

THe Plaid Adder

12. that would be the Moss Isely spaceport

I'll never forget my brother and I taking the 2 hour bus into Boston to watch it on opening day in May 1977.

I voted for "This is some rescue" BTW- sums it all up quite nicely and succinctly. (remember, Bush said we all needed a good dose of compassionate conservatism).

2. The more you tighten your grasp

the more star systems will slip through your fingers.
-- Princess Leia to General Tark(sp?)

[Plaid Adder]

4. Ooh, good one!

Forgot about that one.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[LynneSin]

14. I was about to pick the vile one

but when I saw this, well this is the Bush administration!

keep on squeezing Bush

[NewYorkerfromMass]

15. It is a good one, but it gives them too much credit

I consider them "gripless" :)

[Throckmorton]

31. Grand Moff Tarkin I beleive,

I worked in a movie theater the year it came out. Its the only movie we showed the entire summer.

[Parrcrow]

3. how about this one?

Fear leads to anger...leads to hate...leads to suffering

[Plaid Adder]

I try to forget that Eps I & II happened:

Sigh,

The Plaid Adder

6. Y'know...

I try to forget "Return of the Jedi" ever happened. I despise that bloody thing.

[Plaid Adder]

8. Anniversary Edition is somewhat better

because they have excised the dancing Ewoks. Still not good, though.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Parrcrow]

30. Thanks Tom

I've been lurking here for quite some time. Finally opened my trap

Cheers:toast:

7. I've always loved the Gospel according to Star Wars.

Jesus says to Pilate: "You can't win. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!"

[Richardo]

9. Another Leia...

Governor Tarkin <Bush>, ... I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.

[Plaid Adder]

11. Kick for lunchtime polling fun

Use the force,

The Plaid Adder

[kodi]

13. "there's a disturbance in the Force"

ain't that the truth.

[thom1102]

16. "Soon the rebels will be crushed..."

Gran Moff Tarkin... right before he was blowed up on the first death star!

[Kolesar]

18. "Don't get cocky, kid"

don't get snippy, either

[NewYorkerfromMass]

20. "What an incredible smell you've discovered!"

Han Solo upon landing in the garbage compactor.

[Kool Kitty]

19. I voted for "other".

The quote that sums up this misadministration comes from "The Phantom Menace" by way of Jar Jar Binks-"Phew-that smells stinkerous". Brief and to the point.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

21. Brief and to the point.

True, which is why I picked "some rescue". Also, it's the first movie we're talking here, although I see we crossed wires in the odor department! :)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

22. "Once I was but the learner... now I am the master"

Bush to poppy. :evilgrin: (kick for more votes please!)

[CanuckAmok]

23. "Sometimes I even amaze myself!"

reply: "That doesn't sound too difficult".

[Pert_UK]

24. "Father!!!.............PLEASE!!!!!"

Vader torturing Luke / Dubya asking daddy for a go at playing President.

:evilgrin:

25. i voted "wookie scream"

But "Empire Strikes Back" - the title, not necessarily the film - is a good phrase for my view of Bush's administration...

[nyrnyr1994]

26. My quote and a bad joke...

"Democracy fails when we stop believing in it" I don't remember who says this, I think it was the new Queen of Naboo in Ep II.

And for the bad joke...

Obi-Wan and Luke are in a Chinese restaurant. Luke is trying to eat his food but his having difficulty with the chop-sticks. Obi-Wan says to him, "USE THE FORKS LUKE..."

[Pert_UK]

27. Another bad joke.....

Darth Vader and Luke are sitting around the Christmas Tree...

Darth: "Luke....I know what you're getting for Christmas"

Luke: "No! You can't know!"

Darth: "Luke....I know what you're getting for Christmas!"

Luke: "How can you possibly know???!!!??"

Darth: "Luke......I have felt your presents."

Boom, ladies and gentlemen, and tish.

29. "When you came in here..."

Although I also think "Laugh it up, fuzzball" applies to the Chimp.
