2. That's a good point, I've been giving him too much credit.

3. Cruella thought it "humanized him" though
Appearing there with Sen. Jim Inhofe, Cheney said: "Kim didn't mention that Sen. Clinton has taken to calling me Darth Vader... Actually, I asked my -- it was a little disturbing when that first happened -- I asked my wife, Lynne, the other day, 'But doesn't that bother you?'

"And she said, 'No, it humanizes you.'''

4. Vader was also a war hero
Cheney had other things to do during the draft.

7. I was going to say, Vadar had more redeeming qualities and he was a
