[quote=Anonymous]I think what's also stunning is how insular this administration is. Remember when state dinners included classical musicians, authors, poets? Interesting that this administration no longer reaches out to celebrities or what we used to think of as the intelligentsia. There's something very Soviet about this list -- the idea that many of the positions that previously would have been considered power centers in a democracy (like being a university president, a celebrated author, etc. ) are simply absent. No publishers, journalists. Previously, there would have been some academics who wrote about the Mid East, maybe someone who had been a Fulbrighter there, etc. The idea that instead it's just the president's lackies and his children. Weird. [/quote]
