Jar-Jar created the Empire (Score 1)

Did anyone notice that the entire blame for the existance of the Empire can be blamed on Representative Jar-Jar Binks? In a pure display of political ambition, he grabbed the spotlight and convinced the other Senators to give all that power to Palpatine. I hope there are a few lines in Episode III given to characters who grumble under their breath about "that god damn Binks" when contemplating the enemy.
