Never thought I'd say this but, "Weinstein Bros, the Eagles" You suck
In the circles Harvey and Bob Weinstein move in, cozying up to Wal-Mart is not a great way to make friends. Members of the New York liberal media establishment were in a tizzy yesterday after hearing that the producing pair will throw a gala in honor of the retail giant's CEO, H. Lee Scott, Jr., and his "commitment to environmental sustainability." The Eagles have been hired to play at the party, with a list of cohosts including Revlon chairman Ron Perelman, TV host Charlie Rose, real estate mogul Steve Rattner, and Time Warner exec Bob Pittman. Why go to such trouble for a figure the Weinsteins' Democratic pals—including Sen. Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore—love to slap around?

But a Weinstein Company spokeswoman insisted the brothers' regard for Scott was sincere. "We have long considered Lee Scott a great business partner for the entertainment industry as well as a great role model for those of us who care about the environment, and we are proud to be hosting this event welcoming him to New York."

on note: I've always been a fan of the Eagles music. But Wal-mart is about as evil a corporation as you can get -- Thank God, they're out of Korea.
I will be avoiding Michael Moore's newest movie if it is still being distributed by these two f**ks.

2. To answer my own question....."Ya."
>>>>In addition to being a former Wal-Mart board member, Clinton is also a friend and ally of the Weinsteins. Asked whether she planned to attend Monday's event, her office did not reply.>>>>
