1. With $200+ million in Republican campaign money at stake...
Walt Disney is about to become the highest paid prostitute in the United States.

5. I doubt that...
Groups like Focus on the Family and the SBC would never boycott people who were in bed with the Nazis. ;)

4. I watched ESPN this morning for the first time.
Rush looked pretty silly, sitting alone and off to the side at his own special little desk, waiting for Boomer and the gang to include him in the discussion. I give him one season..if that.

7. On the Right, I would expect.
Rush wouldn't have it any other way.

6. Disney is a big corporation. The board members of *all* big corporations
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 12:03 PM by w4rma
made out like thieves with Bush's top heavy tax shifts. There are only two reasons why these guys might support a Democrat:
A) They start to care about our nation more than their bank account.
B) They worry about their overseas image (and therefore overseas profits) as America's image is further tarnished by Bush*.

The economy doesn't matter to big corporations, because they aren't feeling any pain at all. They are actually using this opportunity to grab up resources at lower rates.

8. Disney has always been neo-con in organization.
It's too bad that although some of the most creative movie work in history has been done by Disney, there was that dark side.

11. Long, long time ago.
It happened when Roy Disney renamed "Steamboat Willy", "Mickey Mouse" and sent his brother Walt away for de-tox.
