Glenn Beck strikes again: Yosi Sargent Reassigned at NEA but Sunstein confirmed

The National Endowment for the Arts has reassigned former communications director Yosi Sergant, who had become the latest target of FOX News talk show host Glenn Beck.

Acting NEA communications director Victoria Hutter said Thursday that Sergant had left the communications post. The move came after he had come under attack from Beck, a conservative commentator who accused Sergant of attempting to use taxpayer money to fund art to support the president's initiatives.

Sergant's reassignment came after the resignation last weekend of environmental adviser Van Jones, who had been criticized for weeks by Beck.

In recent weeks, Beck also had trained his sights on Harvard University law professor Cass Sunstein, a friend of President Obama whose nomination to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs had been stuck since January. But the Senate confirmed Sunstein's appointment Thursday afternoon, after voting to end debate on the nomination the previous evening.

1. So Beck is batting 666 2/3 percent with those three guys. How in
the hell did he get such power? I know I didn't vote for him.

5. I actually dated Sunstein's ex-wife....
when we were 'adolescents' - my only claim to fame in any regard. she's a well-known scholar in her own right now...brilliant she was...and Bee-you-tee-ful...

I thought that he might have a problem with his confirmation b/c of me :sarcasm: , but thank God everything worked out for the man.
