Your Moment of Geek: Disney’s Acquisition of Lucasfilm Edition: What A New Star Wars Movie Might Look Like: “Tuesday’s news that longtime Hollywood producer Kathleen Kennedy will executive produce three new episodes in the saga could give fans a reason to be excited. Lucas, who’s retiring, has written the treatments for the next three films, Disney executives told investors today. He’ll remain a creative consultant to Disney, but won’t produce or direct.”
Maybe the Force is with this one. Assuming Lucas won’t be writing either…

Change: Obama hasn’t played golf in over 2 months: “An indication the White House and the Obama campaign have determined that Obama’s golf is a political liability that had to come to a temporary halt.”
Plus this: “It’s unlikely that Obama’s absence from the fairways is due solely to the time consuming demands of campaigning and being president. The presidency itself is a demanding job, and yet Obama has found time to play golf 104 times since Inauguration Day.”
Who has time to play golf when you have to cover up something like Benghazi, anyway?

Unfortunately for R.S. McCain, this is as close as he’ll get to Christina Hendricks, at least for now. This a view of two of the soundstages at Los Angeles Center Studios (originally the corporate headquarters of the Unocal oil company) , where I’m working this week. They shoot Mad Men here. I’m told there was a Hendricks sighting – and a separate Jon Hamm sighting – just a few days ago:

On Hold? MSNBC Hasn’t Mentioned Benghazi Emails That Reveal Washington Aware Of Attack Within Two Hours.
Well, it’s bad protocol to air sensitive content without the say-so from your executive producers…
UPDATE: Seems the above link is now leading to nowhere. But the Google Cache of it is here. Maybe MSNBC did mention the e-mails and Mediaite realized it too late…
My apologies for the suddenly dead link.
MORE: CNN, for one, did cover the story behind the Benghazi e-mails.
ANOTHER ONE: By the way, I tweeted at the author of the original Mediatie post asking him if he knew what happened. That was hours ago. No response so far…

The Gang That Couldn’t Lie Straight: More evidence of deception:
On September 20 — eight days after Obama claims to have called the Benghazi attack an “act of terror” — Jay Carney affirmed to reporters that the White House had never called it “a terrorist attack.”
You know, that whole “I’ll be ignoring the debate rules” thing has really turned into quite the exploding cigar for Candy Crowley…

VIDEO: Candy Crowley Goes On ‘The View’, Defends Debate Performance. I’m surprised the View ladies didn’t give her a medal.
But really, there’s nothing to defend. First, Crowley did exactly what most Americans would expect her to do. Second, she did exactly what she told us she would do.
So what’s there to defend? Just own it, Candy.
Actually, you already do.

Well, at least we know Candy Crowley is a woman of her word. She said she would ignore the debate rules – and she did…
UPDATE: So essentially POTUS went from hiding behind Hillary’s skirt to hiding behind Crowley’s:
Talk about leading from behind… (via Smitty, who has more).
And the end result is more of that MSM-ruins-Obama-by-helping-him effect, because Benghazi-gate is now an MSM-sanctioned topic. Crowley elevated it to such status. And the more we hear about it, the smaller president Obama seems.
MORE: Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times.
AND ANOTHER ONE: Even the debate’s Libya questioner says Obama didn’t answer.

Twilight of the Rubes: COULD THE MEDIA TURN ON OBAMA?
Long overdue, if you ask me. But I guess they just needed that little reality-check from the first debate to push them closer to the edge. They’ve been on that path for a while, but I think it’s safe to say that the Twilight of the Rubes has never been darker.
The MSM made Obama into what he wasn’t. So now they own him. And you just know they hate themselves for it – just like most Americans do…

Dog Bites Man: Biden caught in Syria debate falsehood:
When Biden was asked during the debate why requests for additional security in Libya were denied, he pleaded ignorance and blamed the State Department, declaring: “We weren’t told they wanted more security there.” But in the case of Syria, the Times reports, the President and his national security team were told that the aid was going to “hard-line Islamic jihadists.” Yet Biden plainly asserted aid was going to “people who deserve the help” and “free forces inside Syria” and not jihadists. It is simply implausible that, if President Obama and his top national security advisers were aware of the intelligence assessments, Biden was not.
And don’t forget: in 2008 Biden was added to the Dem ticket because of his foreign policy experience…

First Amendment? What First Amendment? City Councilmembers order investigation of parody Twitter accounts:
The legendary Texas Rangers—the men of Lonesome Dove, The Lone Ranger, and Walker fame, “the top cops working the biggest crimes beneath iconic white cowboy hats,”—are investigating several lightly-followed Twitter parody accounts that have been making sport of Huntsville’s mayor and city council.
