Bye-Bye Eisner

Ok… technically, he’s not gone yet… but its definitely a step in that direction…

In case you missed it.. Disney had their annual shareholder’s meeting yesterday, and something like 43% of the shareholders voted against Eisner as CEO/Chairman of Disney. Several called for him to quit outright, instead of waiting for his contract to end (2006).. In response, the Disney board split Eisner’s duties… he is CEO, but no longer Chairman. The board of directors voted unanimously to fill the Chairman seat with George Mitchell (who only 25% or so of the shareholder’s voted against….nothing like the lesser of two evils huh?)
