So let's take two stories from the NY Times and find the magical connection:
Disney forbids Miramax from distributing Michael Moore's documentary, Farenheit 911, which details the Bush family's relationship with the Saudi government, including the Bin Laden family.
GOP conventioneers get free tickets to 8 Broadway shows during the Republican Convention - including "The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast", and "Aida," all of which are produced by Disney.
So Disney violates its agreements with Miramax for political reasons (they are only allowed to forbid distribution if a film is rated NC-17). Meanwhile the somber, reflective mood of the Republican Convention, which no doubt will be focused on the September 11th anniversary and the loss of American service men and women abroad, will be exposed to the diverse array of America's theatrical offerings by seeing musicals based on MOVIES! Just don't tell Tom Delay that "Lion King" songwriter Elton John is gay!
