Breitbart Telegraphing His Next Punch? (Clues to Blockbuster Story Breaking This Week)
Ace of Spades ^ | 9-20-09 | Ace

Posted on 09/20/2009 2:22:34 PM PDT by nomoremods

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.

Andrew Breitbart, deadly handsome.

Ummmm, I'd hit it! Sorry I couldn't resist. You are correct, he is one very handsome man.

I hope it’s BOTH NEA’s! One is as bad as the other.

From the breitbart link above -- National Endowment of the Arts:

Another story not making the evening news is that of artist Patrick Courrielche, who has shown that the National Endowment of the Arts is seeking to use government funds to promote Obama administration initiatives. On Sunday’s “This Week,” George Will pierced the mainstream media veil.

“Recently there was a conference call arranged by the National Endowment for the Arts, with a representative of the White House, for potential grantees or actual grantees of the federal government, getting subsidies – the theme of it was how the arts community could advance the president’s agenda. Now I don’t know how many laws that breaks, but I am sure there are some.”

I really hope this is true.

However, if ACORN is a nut, the NEA is a redwood. I hope he's got a big enough saw to take it down.

Alright I though it was the other NEA.

I'll settle for the National Endowment for the Arts for now.

Really? She was the Director of RAT? What are the odds?

Of course, if she was Director of RAT, that means her title was DRAT.

Again, what are the odds?

National Education Association? National Endowment for the Arts?

Or both?

I’ll take either one, but I believe it would be the endowment for arts.

This is the person that needs to be run out of government.

I had the same reaction - I think it means State Run Media.
