Yosi Sergant Asked to Resign
Wash. Times - Water Cooler Blog ^ | Sept.10 | Kerry Picket

Yosi Sergant has been asked to resign from his post as Communications Director for the National Endowment for the Arts, reports the Huffington Post.:

At issue was an August conference call in which the NEA encouraged select artists to participate in an administration project dubbed "United We Serve" and led by the first lady.

The NEA released a statement:

"On August tenth, the National Endowment for the Arts participated in a call with arts organizations to inform them of the president's call to national service. The White House office of public engagement also participated in the call, which provided information on how the Corporation for National and Community Service can assist groups interested in sponsoring service projects or having their members volunteer on other projects.

The National Endowments for the ARTS... EVERYONE should resign, and the Entire OFFICE be disbanded.

As a UNION ACTOR (already outed for Rightwingedness), I believe there’s no Constitutional Authority for that BS... it should be a PRIVATE entity ONLY, but it could never survive without TAXMONEY!!!

Glenn is doing real well. Hope he can get enough on ACORN and Sunstein to bring them down.

Dang, another one.

Glenn got a double play. Who’s next?

I’m impressed with the work he’s doing.

I’m irritated that the GOP isn’t.

You need a scorecard for all his appointments. About the time I think I have them all covered, another name pops up.
