[ Note: this post references an interview between Jon Stewart and David Plouffe, and the accompanying video (link now defunct) featured events as described. ]
About halfway through the interview, Jon Stewart mocks David Plouffe's flowery description of Obama with the counter, "So he's a Jedi master." The moment earns Stewart audible support from the crowd and presumably the at-home audience (though both are, more or less, always in his corner). Plouffe seemed somewhat shaken by the event - Stewart effectively accused him of drivelous hyperbole, the voodoo of the right - but near the end, Plouffe brought Star Wars back by saying (of Obama's political skills), "He knows when to turn the lightsaber on."
Stewart says, "Can I tell you something? If I may, it was awesome how you just did that. He took something that I said, which was kind of snarky, and turned it into a bumper sticker."
Clever, but some have already wandered that path.
