Matt Stoller at MyDD has unearthed a real piece of information about the "Great Diversion," the Path to 911. It seems that one Zenia Mucha, Executive VP of Corporate Communications for Disney Corporation, isn’t altogether apolitical:
Mickey Mouse’s Karl Rove, Zenia Mucha
 Governor George Pataki insists he’s not thinking about the 2008 presidential race, but his denials seemed a little hard to believe with the sudden reappearance by his side this week of Zenia Mucha, the tough-talking political operative who left Albany in 2001 to become the top flack for Disney’s Michael Eisner. As a longtime aide to Senator Al D’Amato known for colorful rows with the press, Mucha was dispatched to shore up Pataki’s faltering 1994 campaign against Mario Cuomo and was widely credited with engineering his surprise victory. Her ability to keep Pataki–and everyone else–on message is thought to have helped spur his rise from unknown Peekskill state senator to governor and onto George W. Bush’s short list for vice-president in 2000. (Dick Cheney, head of the selection committee, selected himself instead.) When Eisner lured Mucha to the Mouse with an extravagant salary, many of her associates nevertheless were certain she’d return to politics; her reemergence is viewed as a sign the governor is getting serious about 2008. Tight-lipped as ever, Mucha insists she’s merely taking a week off from her day job to "help out." But friends say she’s planning a return to New York as head of Pataki’s national campaign. |
Mucha was Eisner’s protege, not Iger’s. She came into Disney’s empire in 2001, recruited out of New York politics, where she had enormous power as advisor to a very detached Governor Pataki, who nicknamed her the ‘the Director of Revenge’. Before that, she was Communications Director for a very nasty and effective conservative Senator, Al D’Amato.
Eisner was a terrible CEO of the Magic kingdom, and he left behind a real mess.
Seems she was in the Farenheit 911 stink, and now is the Disney interface for the Path to 911. Score another one for Matt Stoller!

Add a ‘dash’ of David Horowitz and we can be sure we’re being served yet another pot of neo-CON propaganda.. [I’ll be watching tonight!]
But Mickey, you were right in the first place. The snare of debating a fictional portrayal of 911 takes time away from our newest opportunity for PHASE II truth seeking. (WHERE IS the Douggie Feith/OSP ‘chapter’ anyway?)
I HAVE TO WONDER if the recent FBI raids on Alaskaan Senator’s offices, was to ensure leverage on Stevens. –you know, another “dirty trick” –to (perhaps) curtail the release of certain chapterscontents of SSIC report. Haven’t heard from Carl Levin yet, and I can’t imagine that shoving so much of his goodwork on PHASE II under the rug, will sit too well w/him…. (His offices haven’t been raided, have they?)
WE THE PEOPLE oughtta be OUT clammoring for the missing chapters.. Or at least typing our Senators while watching the 911 fairy tale- ‘docu’drama tonight.
Levin and Rockefeller on CSPAN @ 2:30 eastern TODAY!! : )
Senator Levin must read your site. He ‘began’ by stating: “The President said just this week that ‘one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.’ –That shouldn’t surprise anybody…”
