The Empire Strikes Back DC style
« on: November 02, 2005, 02:07:38 AM »
i don't want to start any kind of Politcal flame wars and I know it's topic neigh verboten, i just really love this shot.   I have to say, while readin up on the masterful political maneuvering by Harry Reid, that the first thing i thought of when i saw this shot of him announcing the little used Senate Rule 21 was,

"Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side. "


just noting.  I need to find a bigger version of this pic.


-PFC joe


-this forum is not a soapbox for announcing politcal or religious views.  I just think that this is an awesome pic.-


Oh and it really reminded me of the one pic in the Capitol section of the Politician yelling into a microphone.

Es ist verboten!

The Star Wars reference makes the moderator a bit happier though.

Thanks for sharing that shot Joe.  I think from a fantasy/sci-fi gamer perspective, it's pretty damn funny.  Cheers.

I'm from Italy so I have absolutely no idea who that guy is, on what side he's on, or what the Senate Rule 21 is.
But i have to say, great pic!!!
Actually, i would have thought it to be faked or from a movie :D
