Colbert Uses Epic Star Wars Analogy To Explain 2012 GOP Race
Say the Republicans are the Rebel Alliance and the Democrats are the Death Star. And Admiral Ackbar has to decide whos gonna to fight Darth Vader. Youve got Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and another fraternity, lets say the Romulans. So the guys who dont fly with Red 5 are going to be pissed for a while, theyll also be mad. Theyll want to fly right through the Stargate on Battlestar Galactica and take a vacation in Cloud City. But by the time the game time comes along, the TIE fighters, forget it. They dont care who sends the proton torpedo down the thermal exhaust port as long as they save Yavin 4. So thats two things: they want to blow up the Death Star and they hate the dark side.
Got all that? In other words: Republicans who didnt support Mitt Romney will come together because they want to defeat Barack Obama. Ah, thats too complicated, Colbert said.
