St. John BBQ McCain has been flirting with Bush's third term, but as is clear by the buzz on the front page, he's going farther into the Dark Side than even I would have imagined.
I've been thinking about this idea for a while, between McSame's attempts to be Bush III and the upcoming game, but with today's announcement of "hell yeah," the time has come for a new meme: "Darth Cheney's Secret Apprentice."
John McBush has officially become too kind an epithet for the McCain campaign. Bush may be making Iran noises, but at least even he is starting to feel enough heat on his warmongering that he's trying to walk back his toxic legacy. Darth Cheney? Not so much.
How evil do you have to be to make Bush look -- well, vaguely like a creature with a soul, at least? You have to be so evil your name's an expletive replacement, e.g. "go Cheney yourself!"
And this is the guy John "I'm totally not Dubya" McCain wants on his cabinet? Seriously, has the guy been tucked away in an undisclosed location with his Sith Master, being taught how to unleash the power of the Farce? In the game, the idea is that Vader teaches his apprentice to take the Force "as far as it can go" and become a "Force wrecking ball." It would appear that Cheney is teaching McCain to go as far into wrecking the Constitution as possible, and apparently turn his campaign into as complete a wreck as imaginable.
"You have done well, my apprentice."
