Stephen Harper steals speech from Emperor Palpatine

so I just saw this, and its one of the funniest things I've seen In a long time. And the first thing I said was "i need to post this on ats"

and voila.

also probably close to the truth lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHA - - that's simply AWESOME.
How did you come across this?

Thanks for posting.

-Mike

Short, to the point, and absolutely fabulous

Wanna bet that the speech writer thought the old guys in the audience would not be geek enough to recognize a sith lord when they see one?

S&F lol. yesss im a star wars geek, i truly loved this lol

hey thanks!

actually someone just posted it on facebook, dont know how they got it, but its an incredibly funny find

HAHAHA Great Stuff!

Why create something original when everything you want to say has already been said up on the big screen? LOL

On a more serious note I wonder how many other speeches written by Hollywood writers have been used by politicians?

Thanks for the vid!

SnF

Peace,

So some guy uses the words Security and Stability in a speech, and from that you leap to the conclusion that he's plagiarizing Lucas to convey some hidden Machiavellian message?

Just because I once uttered the words "I need room to breath" while in a very crowded bar, didn't mean I was paraphrasing Hitler, or that I was planing to invade and occupy Poland.

It would be even more ridiculous if he quoted Jar Jar Binks.

Funny stuff nonetheless.

First of all, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

Second.. WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

Okay so seriously.. he didn't say there was ANY kind of message trying to be conveyed.. he simply said, "Thought this video was quite funny, and wanted to share with ATS!" - - The only thing that could be misconceived for an attempt at conveying a message would be his title, but given the light-hearted, sarcastic nature of the post itself, wouldn't one be led into assuming that the title is in itself a quip? - - I guess not everyone was led down this path.

'Nuff said.
