Okay, so I love Elizabeth Warren.  I got to meet her in person once when she came to Texas to raise money and then offered to spend an afternoon raising money for the Texas Democratic Party.  She was the first candidate I ever saw do that.

But, here’s another reason to love her.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) made the comments during a panel discussion at an American Bankers Association conference Wednesday. According to Politico, Luetkemeyer said people needed to “find a way to neuter” Warren, whom he called the “Darth Vader of the financial services world.”

Neuter?  Really, sir?

I think being called the “Darth Vader of the financial services world,” gets you into heaven no questions asked.  I’m pretty sure you get your own cloud.  And room service.  You know those golden streets?  Named after you.

Warren had a quick response.

“My first thought was Really? I’ve always seen myself more as a Princess Leia-type (as a senator and Resistance general who, unlike the guys, is never even remotely tempted by the dark side). Clearly the Force is not strong with Congressman Luetkemeyer (maybe he’s a Trekkie).”

Yeah, we’re laughing at you, Blaine.

You’re a doofus.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.
