3. Well that was quick -

The movie "attacks" bush - not censorship - MM knew all along Disney wouldn't allow Miramax to distributen - MM just doing this for hype to get new distributor - MM sez no, but phone has been ringing off the hook...

Why is it that repukes are "critical" of Dems, but Dems "hate" and "attack" and "bash" bush?

4. Uh, attacking W is now an acceptable reason to silence?
Good going. Taking off ABC from my remote.

5. Well, that's not exactly what they "said"
but they did use the "attack" word to describe the movie twice.

The "offical" reason not to distribute is that Disney doesn't want to be involved in a political movie in an election year.

6. The reason is simple - remember the rightwing Disney boycott
a few years back? Disney doesn't want a repeat.
