I think it's interesting that the bulk of the comedy created by the hit parody new shows pokes fun at America's leaders (potential and current).
Imagine if The Daily Show aired on the Death Star. The show would only last for half an episode, ending with Jon Stewart being telekinetically choked by Lord Vader.
Stewart's bit would start..."So Vader was vacationing at the third moon from Tatuene working on his golf game. He takes a back swing and falls right on his BUTT!!! He just won't wear golf spikes with his black..."
Then Jon would be seen choking on his own tongue. End of show.
Imagine if you or I were filmed doing our day to day activities constantly. As far as I'm concerned, after watching me, you'd think I should be committed.
At some level, maybe that is what the American people want: someone with imperfections to make the decisions none of us would want to make, and then when they turn out to be the wrong decisions, we have the luxury of sitting back and and asking "what the f*$k was he thinking?"
I was just wondering.
To get back to Star Wars: George Sr. is a bit like Darth Vader and lil' George Jr. is like Luke, trying to find his way using the Force, while the Dark Side looms ever present.
