Query: Entertainment or propaganda?

I got this book for light entertainment for a long plane ride. It served the purpose. The story has some interesting points and some back fill of information on some of the characters. There seemed to be some ground work laid for a story on the origins of Darth Sidious. Look for that series soon. One thing I really disliked was the insertion of innuendos--very, very thinly veiled innuendos--comparing Palpatine to Bush. Does Luceno think that some of his readers will be suaded to form their opinions of Bush and his policies based on this comparison? It was a completely egregious, needless distraction from the story. I hate being spoon fed propaganda of any kind in the guise of entertainment. But perhaps it was insisted upon by Lucas.
