GOP retreat laughs over 'Darth Nancy'

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – House Republicans descended in force upon this Eastern Shore community for three days to ponder their political and policy future and ended up talking about “the Force.”

Hunkered down at a retreat intended to help them regain their footing after a corruption scandal and a leadership shake-up, about 180 lawmakers were treated to a film spoof that portrayed Republicans as the “Star Wars” heroes being pursued by the evil Democratic empire led by “Darth Nancy.” That would be Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, the House Democratic leader.

“After a decade of exile, the evil Democratic empire has created their most fearsome henchman to date, a mighty machine built to regain the majority once and for all,” said the text that scrolled at the opening of the parody, which superimposed Pelosi's face on the movie villain. The short film, produced by the National Republican Congressional Committee, had the audience in stitches, according to those on hand. But it was also a tacit admission that House Republicans are in for an epic battle this November as they try to retain their majority in a midterm election cycle that has historically meant losses for the party in power.

1. May the Farce be with them...

And, what do you know, it is!

How deluded can they possibly get?

2. They are pathologically afraid of strong women

However, they are very fond of women who resemble sideshow strongmen. Take a bow, Karen Hughes.

3. Could there possibly be anything more UNoriginal

than a Star Wars parody??? I mean ..c'mon it's not like
it hasn't been done a gazillion times before....and for crying
out loud there isn't a new Star Wars film anywhere in sight.

These repukes must be missing a few brain cells...
particularly in the original idea department.
No wonder there aren't any good republican writers
or actors or directors or musicians or artists or .....
