Most of us believe that what we get every four years is REALLY

Especially this year, when the choice appears to be between Darth Vader
("Bring me the prisoners! I want them alive!") and Gollum (tracing the
image
of a heart shaped medallion: "Soooo beautiful. Soooo Preciousss.")

I thought the choice was more on the order of Beavis and Butt Head.

No. Beavis & ButtHead are (at times) amusing.

But I truly believe you denigrate Mr. Vader by comparing him to
the current occupant of that place at 1600 whatever. Vadr knew how to
motivate his troops. And in the end, put himself on the front line.
(Well, at least in Episode 4 -- or SW1, however you wish to count)
