Is Bush's proposed budget for the NEA an insult to conservatives?

Roger Kimball thinks not, as long as Dana Gioia is in charge. I tend to agree. It would be nice if the NEA were a real endowment, and contented with supporting the arts that are supported by consensus, not the type that wants to be paid for anti-social, anti-religious, far left screeds.
If America is to be piddled upon from a great height, it shouldn't have to pay for the privilege.
