Bushies Attempt To Censor Michael Moore Film: The mouse ... chicken? The Walt Disney Company is trying to stop Miramax, which it owns, from distributing Michael Moore's new film, "Farenheit 911," which links President Bush to prominent Saudis, including members of Osama bin Laden's family. Moore's agent claims that Disney is concerned about the effect distributing the movie might have on tax breaks it enjoys for its theme park and hotels in Florida, where Jeb Bush is governor. Disney says it's rather concerned about alienating the public by involving itself in, what a senior executive calls a "highly charged partisan political battle." (N.Y. Times) In a note on his Web site, Moore says, "All I can say is, thank God for Harvey Weinstein and Miramax who have stood by me during the entire production of this movie." (MichaelMoore.com)
