Think Progress reports this morning that Dear [Vice] Leader and Sith Lord Richard "Darth" Cheney is directly in special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's gunsight. Darth Cheney was interviewd back in the spring, but it hasn't been clear until recently that he might go down with Rove, Scooter, and the rest.
In a related story, Wilson and Plame may file a civil lawsuit again Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al. once the criminal probe is complete. This suit is possible due to precedents set by the Dark Side in their pursuit of Bill Clinton for skirt chasing. Sweet!
Here at Agitprop, we have started a DeLay Death Watch and a Rove & Scooter Death Watch. Can Cheney be far behind? Well, it takes a pretty big subpoena to bring down a Sith Lord. Just ask Luke.
Agit tip to HelenWheels for the graphic. The Heretik has more coverage.
That's some of my best work, dammit. Ha! Perfect for your story. Sith Lord in deed. I am crossing every limb on my body in hopes that cheney-scooter-rove go down in "Plames."
OK.... sorry for the hideously wince-worthy pun. I am giddy. Very VERY giddy...

Do you think that James Earl Jones will voice Cheney when they make a movie out of this?
