Ace links to another blog, that speculates the Breitbart breaking story will be about NEA.
From Patterico's Pontifications comes this:
If I were a betting man, I’d be betting big that the upcoming bombshell will relate to the NEA. You read it here first.
But I think Breitbart’s overarching target is even bigger than that: the national media as a whole. Just as the media was caught flatfooted by the ACORN scandal, so too will they be rocked back on their heels by the next bombshell.
Kudos to Andrew Breitbart. He’s making it fun to be a conservative again.

I honestly don’t know.... but I think she will be in the blockbuster Breitbart is hinting at.
He's married and 4 kiddoes and is a big Papa Bear. Woo hoo! We're starting a cheerleading section.:)
LOL!
super handsome - couldn’t agree more - :)
Married...kids...But he is a looker. ; )
I’m hoping it’ll be the NEA... though not the National Endowment for the Arts, but the National Education Administration.
I guess that makes it true.
And anything else he says.
Buffy Wicks.
Nope. I saw him first!
sw
National Endowment for the Arts?
That's what I'm wondering!
Buffy Wicks:
As political director of the Wake-Up Wal-Mart campaign, Buffy Wicks was so dedicated in her efforts to increase workers’ wages and health-care benefits that one journalist gave her the nickname “Buffy the Wal-Mart Slayer.”
Now, as state director for the Obama campaign, Wicks, 30, is focusing that same fierce determination to introduce Obama to Missourians through the efforts of a “grassroots army.”
How did you decide to join the Obama campaign?
I’d been working as political director for Wake-Up Wal-Mart, a campaign by the UFCW, the union which represents grocery store workers. We fought for better wages and health care, and pushed Wal-Mart for better wages and health care for their workers. Obama addresses all of these issues, and is, at the same time, an inspirational leader. Because of his biography as a grassroots organizer, he has a strong understanding that people make up the campaign: really, strengthening the middle class, helping them be their own advocates. As a field organizer, I value this tremendously.
Too much to post, but her interview is here:

She now works under Valerie Jarrett, at the Office of Public Engagement (OPE). She heads Obama’s serv.org, too.
The original poster told it was National Endowment for the Arts.
Souce: "The National Endowment for the Art of Persuasion?", by Patrick Courrielche (August 25, 2009)
Further....
Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Wicks has a long history in grassroots organizing and civic engagement. Most recently she was the Director of the Renew America Together effort, the call to service issued by then President-elect Obama. She also served on the Obama for America campaign in a variety of roles, including California Field Director and Missouri State Director, and helped develop the national grassroots field strategy. She has also worked in the labor movement, fighting for better health care and wages for disenfranchised workers. She is originally from California and graduated with a double major in Political Science and History from the University of Washington.
I’m vaguely aware of NEA doing something with phone calls. Could someone give a quick review?
Which NEA?
National Endowment for the Arts or the National Education Association (or something close)?
Glenn already broke the story about the NEA (Arts) using our money to make propaganda “art” for Obama’s policy issues. Many are speculating, that because Buffy Wicks was on the phone call that Glenn played on his show, clearly outlining how the NEA (Arts) wanted to help Obama get his message out through artists and their creations, that there is much more to this story.
Again, it’s the Endowment for the Arts, not anything to do with the National Education Association.
I was wondering the same thing as I started to peruse the thread.
Glenn Beck did do a great segment on the National Endowment for the Arts.
Wondering??
Buffy Wicks-—Wake Up Wal-Mart - political director
Two words: OH MY.
The NEA....
