Trekkies in control of congress!

January 15, 2007

Ok, so this isn’t really news, but it is amusing as hell.

Here’s a general transcript of what he says:

Now, this president has listened to some people — the so-called “Vulcans” in the White House. The ideologues. But you know, unlike the Vulcans of Star Trek who make their decisions based on logic and fact, these guys make it on ideology. These aren’t Vulcans! There are Klingons in the White House! But unlike the real Klingons of Star Trek, these Klingons have never fought a battle of their own. Don’t let faux Klingons send real Americans to war. It’s wrong.

I mostly love the reference to the “real” Klingons from Star Trek. It’s crazy that the people in charge of our government can talk as if characters from a fictional world are indeed real. Though it’s not entirely unprecedented… there are a great many who believe the fictional character of Jesus Christ was real – ZING!
