I posted this link earlier in the day on General Interest board, but I'm so glad you posted it here.

I was just in there looking at the new pics and laughing so hard at the JarJar Binks/Cynthia McKinney connection.

Glenn outdid himself on this one.

I laughed so hard that I nearly cried. You're right; it's great!

funny

[Chi-townChief]

I've always likened Teddy Kennedy to Jabba the Hut although our friend Jerrold Nadler wouldn't be bad either.

[GOP_Lady]

Notice the comments about about McCain. LOL.

[The KG9 Kid]

John McCain = Han Solo.

No real love for the Rebellion, perpetually seems to be threatening to leave it, has personal needs contrary to the good of the Rebellion, associates with criminals, was a hot-shot pilot, and is an incurable egomaniac.

I was listening to the show this morning as this was developing.

They were literally taking ideas from the callers, and then the webmaster was putting them up on the website.

It was really entertaining.

Viva Attack of the Clones!

>People are constantly saying that there is a political side to Star Wars. So we took the liberty of looking for the connection between Star Wars and the Middle East. Some connections are based on character, some are based on looks.

	Common Component:  Looks, Character Comments:  He's old and bald, so the visual connection is pretty clear. He's wise and also a teacher. In addition he's done his share of butt kicking.
	Common Component:  Character Comments:  You should be able to connect the dots on this one.
	Common Component:  Looks Comments: Nothing really goes here; we just thought he looks like Jabba the Hutt.
	Common Component:  Looks Comments: Nothing really goes here, either, but we were stunned by his resemblance to Watto from -Episode I-.
	Common Component:  Character Comments: None.
	Common Component:  Looks Comments: Big, hairy, smelly, manly. Those are the words that come to mind when you think of Janet Reno. Also we have proof that Janet Reno married a Florida Skunk Ape, see it for yourself.
	Common Component:  Looks Comments: Look at the eyes. Either picture. Move your head back and forth, from side to side. The eyes ... they follow you. If you want to learn more about Allan Colmes, visit our Allan Colmes Magic Eye-Ball.

so this means that Bush is really Bin Ladens son? This isn't funny it's just plain dumb....

[The_Reader_David]

Actually Arafat as Watto is very funny. Some (Christian) Arab friends of mine thought Watto was the perfect apotheosis of a Lebanese junk-dealer.

[weegee]

John McCain is Lando. Both betrayed their friends/side to aide the dark side...

[marajade]

ping... LOL

[AmishDude]

:)

BTW, did you notice that on Kamino, they cloned the accent, too?

[marajade]

Yeah I had already heard that Temura Morrison (?) did all the audio voices for the clones before I saw the movie...

[AmishDude]

Of course, the latter clones didn't have Australian accents in ANH. Quick, call the continuity police!!! (Just kidding, but there are people who would be really bothered by that.)

[marajade]

Well maybe by that time they would have cloned the accent away?
