Apparently Santorum isn't the only one with nerd analogies

You'll be glad to know that there are no Vulcans in the White House, according to Representative David Wu:

Mr. Speaker, four years ago this administration took America to war in Iraq without adequate evidence. Since that time, the administration hasn't listened to the American people, it hasn't listened to our professional military, and it certainly hasn't listened to this Congress. Y'know, it was said of a prominent businessman in downtown Portland that he never listened to anybody, and that if he was ever drawn in a cartoon, he'd be drawn without ears. Now, this president has listened to some people: the so-called 'Vulcans' in the White House. The ideologues. But y'know, unlike the Vulcans of Star Trek, who made 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!
