From Skywalker Ranch to Washington DC

It was recently reported in the Washington publication The Hill that Star Wars creator George Lucas was coming to DC and going to be part of a Democratic event, courtesy of Sen. Fienstien and Rep. Pelosi. However, the BBC reports that Lucas is in DC to recieve an award from President Bush, the very president that he used the latest (and last) of the Star Wars films to speak out against. Granted the Democrats would want to use such a opportunity to say "look who is in our corner" and they have done so, just as the GOP has unvieled a Star Wars-esqe ad, it would seem that they don't get to hog all the spotlight.
