This is a heck of a good sting, but I doubt it’s going to have anywhere near the impact of the O’Keefe/Giles ACORN tapes. I mean, if you tell most people that the White House was using the National Endowment for the Arts to talk to a bunch of “artists” and try to get them to help push pro-Zero propaganda, they’ll just look at you and say, “yeah, and this is unusual?” Everybody knows that these artsy-fartsy urban Bohemian types are 100% in the tank for Zero. (Well, OK, 95%. 4% are flat-out Communists or anarchists and the other 1% are probably disaffected Paulestinians.)

However, for congress, this is the justification to defund the NEA once and for all.
This is illegal. People should go to jail
This is a power grab by the President (fascism).
Democrats would never, ever say this is going nowhere. They would repeat, endlessly, those two themes for years. They got Scooter Libby that way and there was no underlying crime in the Valerie Palme affair.
Conservatives shoot themselves in the head with their self-fulfilling prophecies of failure.
