I’ll take Warren Buffett as my Obi-won – that’s a good call.

Karl Rove will make a perfect Boba Fett!

Karl Rove as Boba Fett or Darth Maul. He did a lot of dirty work for the Empire, I mean Bush administration. He had a hand in dismissing those US Attorneys who were not loyal to the cause in 2006, as if they were some rebel scum.

Alan Keyes as Darth Maul or General Grievous. He filed a lawsuit stating Barack Obama was a naturalized citizen and therefore ineligible to be President of the USA. I actually support this because Obama has yet to produce his original birth certificate for verification, but that’s another post.

Dennis Kucinich as C3PO because he believes in UFOs, but you’ll never get him onto one of those dreadful starships.

And because his Austrian accent sounds like Wookie, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Chewy.

I had always thought of Cheney as Darth Vader, but you are spot on that he is the Emperor. Fantastic list!

How about Neel Kashkiri for R2D2. He’s got a shiny head and provides great comedy on c-span.
Neel: (long speech)

First questioner: “When are we gonna see some term sheets?”

Neel: “Uhh”

Agreed that no politician should be compared to Obi-won. Best non-politician -Warren Buffett? The Sage of Omaha did counsel young Skywalker during the campaign.

Al Gore as C3PO!

I like the man, but his public speaking could use a little work.

No politician is worthy of being compared to Obi-won.

Alright, I like how Jindal is the young Anakin who later becomes Darth Vader Biden the Dark Democrat… HEHE…

How about Rush Limbaugh as Boba Fett, he isn’t really a politician but I think he fits the bill.
