They're picking a guy named Rocco, Rocco Landesman, to head the National Endowment for the Arts. The report noted: “Rocco is bored,” Mr. Brustein said, “if things just go routinely.” He is described as having an "affinity for country music, horse racing and baseball."
The dude sounds like a barbarian, straight up. Hopefully I’m wrong.
You should read the profile of him in the New Yorker about a decade ago — As I remember it, he carries $10,000 in cash with him at all times in case there is a hot horse to bet on or for some other opportunity. A genuine character.
He must be gay.
“As I remember it, he carries $10,000 in cash with him at all times in case there is a hot horse to bet on or for some other opportunity.”
OK, how is that physically possible? Does he keep the cash in his wallet? Does he carry a briefcase with $10,000 in bills around with him? What if he leaves the briefcase someplace? Does he hire someone solely to follow him around with the cash?
I take it you can’t use credit cards to bet on the horses.
maybe he’ll be a real radical and shut down his own department and consider himself
“minister without portfolio” LOL
