Karl ... well, he's known for a meteoric rise (as many quality execs were forced out in the 1990s) at Disney with a track record that largely shows good bottom lines and poor quality and bad management decisions. He is an Al Weiss/Jay Rasulo stoodge all the way. Exactly the type of guy who should be leaving ... I'm still trying to figure out how he went from a food and beverage manager at DD to head of Euro Disney in less than a decade ... hell, I don't even think he's a member of the club.

The boyz and girlz at the top take care of each other. That is the way of corporate America.
