Rocco Landesman's suit

Recently I saw a color photo of Rocco Landesman, Obama's appointee to head the National Endowment of the Arts, wearing a shiny, glow in the dark, cream colored suit. It gave me hope for the 3 piece outfit I recently bought at the Cancer Discovery Shop for three dollars which is sort of shiny and the color of baby formula spit up. Apparently "matchy matchy" is out for women, but not for men in government who've come up through the entertainment industry (he was the producer of Angels in America about aids, homosexuals, closets and religion). There's an article about him in today's WSJ by Lee Rosenbaum with easily arranged descriptive sentences.
  • veteran Broadway producer
  • free wheeling
  • brashly candid
  • provocative
  • St. Louis native who demeans Peoria, Illinois
  • ridicules past NEA efforts
  • partisan agenda
  • Obama operative
  • baited congressional critics
  • [not] politically savvy
  • father owned Crystal Palace caberet
  • abrasive, combative
  • vendetta against some arts non-profits
I can hardly wait. Sounds like we're in for more crucifixes in urine art.
