The entire Democratic leadership will hold a grudge against ABC/Disney

[w4rma]

forever, after what they have done. Politicizing 911 for the Republican Party is beyond the pale. Teaching grade schoolers about 911 through a fictionalized drama of 911 about real people that are portrayed as doing libelous things that everyone agrees that they never did is beyond the pale. Disney even refused to give advance copies to President Clinton, himself or any of his former staff who have been portrayed in this film as personally allowing OBL to escape (in "fictionalized scenes" according to ABC's entertainment division).

I think that Disney has screwed themselves *forever* for this. That 40 million they sunk into this black hole which won't even garner them advertising revenue, will look paltry after what happens to them now that they have awakened a sleeping dragon. I think they've riled up the DLC wing of the Democratic Party. It's usually just the progressive portion of the Democratic Party that is willing to fight, but this time the DLCers are going at them, too.

Heck this is the first time I've ever seen the DLC-types actually fight back. And it appears that the DLC portion of the Democratic Party is even riled up and wants their pound of flesh from Disney. They usually just go through the motions. But this time Disney has made it personal, I suppose.

bring Disney's executives before the congress and ask a shitload of questions. They should investigate Disney's business dealings. We should pass not laws that could help Disney. But Disney's balls!

It is the only way this nation will survive the bu$h regime.

4. Yes, And We Know How Vicious They Can Be

Nothing that can't be fixed with a few shekels in the right palm... perhaps they'll pass another "free trade" bill to help themselves feel better...
