Moore is likely timing any criticism of Miramax for publicity. The idea that tax breaks and Jeb Bush are involved sounds far fetched...but then stranger things have happened.

It seems to me that if Miramax is in the business of distributing films, then they are missing an opportunity to make some money for the shareholders, as this film will likely be huge. So you have to ask yourself...what is more important than money...especially to a company that has been losing money lately?

Well the answer to that question very likely ends up being political. Is it the negotiated tax breaks in Florida with the president's brother? One could speculate.

Jeb Bush doesn't threaten Disney?
What planet are you living on?
Jeb Bush may look decent but he is one of the slickest power players in the country. So slick he actually cut 60 thousand minority voters illegally off the Florida rolls, put his brother in power and got away with it. That is slick. What's to stop him from threatening Disney?

Only it wont work. The Moore film will be seen by almost as many people as Passion Of The Christ Action Figure.
