The NPR executive caught on video bashing the Tea Party and saying that NPR didn’t need federal funding will not be heading to the Aspen Institute. Ron Schiller had been scheduled to start his new position as direct of the Aspen Institute Arts Program and Harman-Eisner Artist-in-Residence April 1, according to a glowing press release distributed last week.

But now Aspen Institute communications director Jim Spiegelman says that Schiller will not be working there.

He could get a job at the Institute for an Anti-Semite Liberal Socialist America.

I'm sure, once the dust settles, Georgie & Co. will find someplace for poor Mr. Shill(er)....just like he did for Mr. Van.

Yes. He has to slither back under a rock for a year or so, and then he will be rewarded for his valuable contributions.

More BS! The Aspen Institute withdrew the offer ... but to put the best face on it they agreed to allow Schiller to say he voluntarily walked away from his new job at the Aspen Institute.

LOL...heard O’Keefe on Savage’s show last night. He said this would be like the ACORN tapes with more videos trickling out over the next few days weeks. Nobody wants to take any chances with what might be on those.

No doubt Podesta will have a place for him at a very nice salary.

No doubt. Right now he is too toxic to work anywhere else.

Gotta love this guy!!

He’s largely taken down acorn and now NPR. He’s only about a 1000% more effective at stopping liberals than the clowns we’ve sent to Washington.

He’ll have to get a 7 figure job somewhere else.

It pays to be a hardcore liberal.

Don’t you just love how cleverly they worded the process of tearing up Schiller’s employment contract.

I guess Schiller is going to be forced to be the ‘housewife’ of his gay composer at Aspen.
