Or, “Fanwank On Rereading The Order Of The Phoenix”

“‘So George Bush is Cornelius Fudge. And Dolores Umbridge is Rumsfeld. But I can’t think of who Cheney might be.’

‘Voldemort.’”

(Okay, to be fair Cheney’s more of a Malfoy. And for the analogy to really work properly, Fudge would’ve had to launch an unprovoked war against the goblins or something equally irrelevant.

Though I was rather entertained when I reached the chapter where Umbridge resorts to cruciatus in interrogating Harry. That fits all too well.)
