| This rant seems best left in the author's diary in a closet. But one thing peaked my interest, namely his apparent objection to Daryl Roth accepting a position on the Kennedy Center Board. Unless she has acted against the interests of the performing arts community of which she is a part, why not accept such a position and possibly advocate for the arts? We all know they need all the help they can get. Whom would he prefer, Betsy DeVos? Of course, the writer provides no substance, thereby weakening his argument, if you can call it that. | |

| Actually, DeVos was already on their board, appointed by GW Bush last decade. There was an arts management program that was named after her because she and her husband gave a big gift. Kennedy Center board appointments are done by every President and often are given to supporters, so it's not a big leap to assume Roth is loyal enough to warrant the position. Maybe she lobbied for it? Don't really know. It's a good bet that the appointees at least support the party of the person doing the appointment. Has always been that way. Lots of other people make up the membership via staggered terms, though, so it is generally a bipartisan mix. |

| I think his point is that she was appointed at the same time as Mike Huckabee and Jon Voight, two Trump-supporting Republicans. Ergo, so is she. | |
