Michael Eisner has dropped a double bombshell on Walt Disney's shares by announcing a federal probe of its boardroom and a surprise earnings reversal.
The company last night said profits would be about 20 percent lower than it announced four weeks earlier, blaming a box office flop of its new holiday flick, "Treasure Planet."

They and their co-conspiratos HAVE to rant about Republicans on issues like Social Security, public education, street crime, race/gender/orientation bias and the environment...because those are those issues which are easiest to manufacture "crises" over whenever any Republican looks at all popular to the public.
Oh, I forgot "the homeless", and that's one of their favorites. Homelessness was just as high during the Carter and Clinton administrations as it was during the Reagan, Bush and current Bush administrations. The media - and the Dems - just ignores homeless folks unless they need to buy their vote, and when a Republican administration is in office.
Without manufactured "crises", the left can't manufacture any instant ISS-EEWWS - and make Republicans out to look like Snidley Wiplash - during election cycles. They fell flat this year because none of their manufactured ISS-EEWWS were worth a tinker's d@mn to the public.
Well, it'd be a small *probe* if there is one.
~& I mean for Eisner & not the mouse-turned-louse, either.
"The free market will be our savior after all? Lan, note an earlier comment re the Dims propping up qualifying corporations/companies."
Won't speak for you, FGS; but, I never had one moment's doubt there were shananagans -- galore -- from here to Timbuktu between certain corps & the Liberal-Socialists occuring between the years 1992 & 2000.
Never one doubt.
The terms were simple, FGS: resist the Liberal-Socialist thugs & they'd turn loose their dogs from among a half-dozen PUBLIC agencies & using PUBLIC funding to smash you into itsy-bitsy pieces.
Wind up an RJReynolds, Microsoft, *or* Texaco to name only but three examples.
Never mind the Lamestream media GOONS & their state-of-the-art SMEARS done in concert with these government sanctioned muggings.
My "proof" was to be found in the results of what these outfits were (not) producing [read: earning] v.s. my upbringing & understanding of business in America, today.
The two were not jibing my friend; not even close.
While my "proof" lies with those elements as stated?
My *suspicion* was initially arosed by the stench of the swelling numbers of, "Limosine Liberals" I could see being produced in DROVES.
"There may be some more house cleaning going on in our lifetimes, eh? 'W' ain't playin' the game..."
Dubya's got to DO something, FGS.
Should our economy collapse & suck everthing & everyone down with it?
It's necessitate a massive governmental intervention & then guess what we get, by default?
Yup, Socialism ~raw & uncut.
Precisely what I'd suspected -- & have been screaming about for how long, if you recall? -- the last two-term administration had purposely set out to do.
To deliberately "break" the system visa vi their wreckless fiscal policies, detoothing of the watchdog agencies & outrageous social engineering -- combined -- & forceably interjected into & onto a free & open marketplace; as it were.
Dubya better do something because really has no other choice, now.
The biggest "legacy" of all the evil SOB left was to his successor -- in the advent that successor were a conservative -- was either the enormous cleanup; or, the consummate collapse.
Had it been Gore then, the charade would've simply continued ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
No one's going to ever convince me Dubya didn't see this unholy mess full well going-in, either.
...as Duby'a not the stooge Eisner's ABC-Cap Cities tried painting him as.
LOL...kinda makes you wonder where it'll be by the closing bell on Friday.
So DISNEY's behind the awful & disgusting, "victim television" sewer, huh?
Why didn't I see that?
How'd I miss that smell?
...stupid-stupid-stupid! ;^)
Yep...almost as despicably-loatheable as Dannie Rather-Biased!! How sad that the hopelessly-Leftist BrokeJaw's the cream of the crop of Network anchors...LOL!!
FReegards...MUD
ROFL!! Perhaps yer Right, my FRiend...good to see you!!
FReegards...MUD
Me, either...why else would a Capitalist donate funds to anybody in the DemonRAT Party except to get kickback sweetheart deal (aka monopoly status) or BlackMail Payoff to keep the RAT-bastards off their tail (i.e. Microsoft). Still, I must admit that I never figgered the SEC would take an eight-year vacation from enforcing the Law!!
FReegards...MUD
Shucks, the only fun Eisner has anymore is putting on his Goofy costume so's he can go palling around Disneyland with "Bruce" and the boys on Gay Day.
So, I wonder how high the ticket prices will be this year!!
You mean, Clintigula's SEC??
...can't understand that, huh.
