with this economy, maybe he should just take half that and reinvest the rest into the company so that so many employees are not laid off...

Half of what? Most of that compensation package was worthless paper!

The Walt Disney Co.'s chief executive, Robert Iger, received a compensation package worth $51.1 million in fiscal 2008, up 85 percent from a year earlier, but most of it came in stock options that are currently worthless...So, is it worth 51 million or is it worthless?

At least the money didn’t go to that worthless, lying, gun controlling liberal scumbag Michael Eisner.

Robert Iger, received a compensation package worth $51.1 million in fiscal 2008, but most of it came in stock options that are currently worthless, according to a regulatory filing made Friday. Iger received the option to buy 3 million shares at $29.51 each on Jan. 31 last year when he agreed to a new five-year contract through 2013, the Burbank, Calif.-based company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those and other options, which were estimated to be worth $34.4 million when they were granted, are currently worth nothing because the shares closed Friday at $21.46.Why do reports like this make my head hurt?

"maybe he should just take half that and reinvest the rest into the company so that so many employees are not laid off..." The company invested in Iger so that many more employees are not laid off. Why pay for employees you don't need? Maybe people of the special class that received stimulus checks last year should return them to the people who created the wealth.

It’s a gotcha headline that is totally misleading. I suppose the writer is hoping that his or her readers have the attention span of..”of, well newspaper readers”

Good work if you can get it. Is Disney begging for government handouts? No? The Mr. Iger gets paid whatever the shareholders think he’s worth.

What are you talking about? Most of the money were stock option that if exercised would be worth $24 million LESS than he paid for them.
The title is totally misleading.
