Jonah Goldberg: NEA Chair Kowtows to His Caesar

Updated 3 months, 1 week ago

Source: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/

By demonstrating with brazenly self-abasing ignorance that he is wholly Obama’s man, Landesman is making it clear that the NEA is completely committed to Obamaism.

NEA Chair Rocco Landesman

Jonah Goldberg in today’s National Review:

“Last week, Landesman gave the keynote address to the 2009 Grantmakers in the Arts Conference. In fairness, Landesman did not reaffirm the White House and NEA’s obvious initial intent to turn the allegedly independent government ...

The real reason for all the high-pressure tactics to keep Obama's true mixed-race and true birth certificate squelched is because he shares the same bio-father and I and other "Manchurian Candidates" do. (On the white side)

There's enough circumstantial evidence that Bill Ayers wrote the Obama books. So he should get the credit.

The book 'Reagan: A life in letters' is a tome of American patriotism and genuine, humble core spirit. You can tell there is no fabrication, embellishment or even a whiff of narcissism.

Evening all. Isn't there a question that Bill Ayers ghost wrote "Dreams from my Father" when Obama couldn't make the deadline? Is there a similar question about "the Audacity of Hope"? Regardless, I suspect that this new NEA bootlicker has only just whet our appetites for long, meandering strings of adulation for the Obama. Hey, maybe BigHollywood can sponser a contest ...

Hi all. Actually, I think that Kal Penn may have actually jumped out of conviction rather then planning ahead for better parts. He never made a secret of his support for Dr. Utopia and spent a lot of time campaigning for him. I wonder how he'll like being thrown under the bus if this NEA/WH political cooperation can be pushed back into the limelight. He'd be the first one with real face recognition ... See all content

The similarity between Julius Caesar, Obama and even JFK is more than their questionable writing ability. JC and JFK obsessed with their sexuality. JC and BO obsessed with building an empire to themselves. JC and JFK were murdered. JC and BO were both in power as their countries sank

into great debt. I am sure there are many more similarities but I would have to refresh my freshman

Jonah, Maybe it's just the similar cadence of the names, but every time I see "Rocco Landesman" I read it as "Lando Calrisian". Or maybe it's not the cadence at all, it's the slithery aspect, or the thought that he should have a Wookie's paws around his neck.

Forget presidents; Obama's the greatest writer since Julius Caesar? I don't even get why you would compare him to Caesar (in a strictly literary sense, at least), since that individual was known for things other than his writing.

true, JFK was to busy being a poontang machine in D.C., the only book he had time to write was a "The Little Black Book of Persuadable Young Wenches of D.C., N.Y.C. and Boston". That was it's working title.

If Edgar Allen Poe were alive today... These people think they are flying high now but because the velocity is so intense they fail to grasp that they are spiraling back to earth. And with true American will that collision back to earth will hopefully kill off this insidious and infantile brand of liberalism. American will.
