WSJ to NEA: Where’s Yosi?
by Big HollywoodJames Taranto, WSJ’s Best of the Web:
What we found peculiar about [Chairman Rocco Landesman's] statement, however, was its punctiliousness in referring to the NEA man involved. His name is Yosi Sergant, but you wouldn’t know it from the Landesman statement, which refers to him only as an “employee” (twice) and as “the former NEA Director of Communications” (three times). The statement also asserts: “This employee has been relieved of his duties as director of communications.”
Where’s Yosi?
Wow, Yosi Sergant must really be persona non grata at the NEA! Well, not exactly. We wrote back to Hutter, and the following email exchange–quoted in full–ensued:
Taranto: Thanks. What happened to “the former NEA Director of Communications”? I’ve read that he was reassigned, but what was he reassigned to?
Hutter: James: He remains in the communications office but that’s all the information I have. Thanks.
Taranto: This is very confusing. You are telling me he works in your office but you have no idea what he does or what his title is, other than that it is no longer director of communications?
We sent Hutter that last reply today at 11:13 a.m. ET, and at this writing we have not received an answer.

"Poor Yosi, I knew him well". Sorry about that Willy ole' boy.
I think Yosi is being reprogrammed or has been given a pistol with one bullet.
Find Waldo( Barack) and you will find Yosi not far away.
they never really go away…
You see, these are the Annointed Ones. Despite whatever travails they may be involved in, they have been Chosen to fulfill their designated task. Like Tommy Daschle for instance. He may not have paid his taxes (least of his bad affairs, mind you) and couldn't be the key advisor to Barry on healthcare.
Or couldn't he? He is everywhere in DC and is a shadow advisor. Tammy Duckworth lost several races in Illinois but it didn't matter. She, too is annointed.
And so it goes. The only thing good about Republicans is they do understand winning and losing and toss the losers overboard. Not the Democrats. You could be Charlie Manson but if you are a annointed one they'll find a spot for you.
Like the unfortunate Mr Sargent…
I don't care where he is now, just so long as in the near future we find him testifying before congress…
When is someone gonna' get off the stick and provide us with an hysterical "The N.E.A. Bunker – The Final Hours" overdub. (An ACORN Bunker would be nice too.)
You kind of get the feeling He Lied!
So telling that Obama uses the term 'czars'. Of all the words he could have chosen to describe the people he puts in charge to carry out his wishes (community organizer, commissioner, etc.), he chooses instead the word that personifies dictatorship, brutal suppression of rights and divine omniscience. Czars.
Yo, 'Bama – if you're so enamored of czars, you might want to check out what happened to the last one in Russia. You know, that part where they line him and the wife and kiddies up against a wall in a basement in Ekaterina and just blow them all to pieces.
Someone is going to cough him up, if for no other reason than service of a subpoena.

Reminds me of the line in Rolling Stones "Sympathy For The Devil": I killed the Czar and his ministers………..
He's being chewed up and spat out from under the bus as we speak.
Unprecedented transparency!
As I look at that nauseatingly pompous photo, I can't see how anyone can't see the degree to which Obama is an empty-suit.
Dang, man. What did you do to get a -32 reputation score?
Yosi even looks like a Bolshevik.
The next malcontent in obama's criminal organization that needs to be investigated is the avowed racist who's the diversity czar. I don't know the miserable creatures name but I heard audio of him stating that white executives should step down and give their companies to minorities or some such nonsense along those lines. Where does obama get these lunatics from? This czar/Leninist said he wants to silence Conservatives and dictate what people can and cannot listen to based on his shared ideology with the loser we have for president. Of course the fact that in CA for example, minorities [Hispanic] have the majority of radio stations is irrelevant to the diversity Leninist, what's relevant is silencing the opposition.
These czars need to be removed by congress and force obama to go through appropriate procedures if he wants vermin like this in his admin. But obama knows these leftwing lunatics would never be confirmed, which is why he has to circumvent the process.
This is an illegitimate govt.
Sounds like ol' Yosi was reassigned from the NW corner of the office to the SW corner of the office.
Let's see, only has 15 comments…
Looks like snarkiness 4 weeks ago when he dropped 6 comments on a Daily Gut, got a minus 11 for one. He seems better now, should be back in the black soon enough.
Seems fitting the background is the embodiment of "If you say a lie often enough…"
Are they Hoping their statements and Changes will make this go away?
They are really putting the heat on him. Oh wait, they just moved him right next to the heating. Guess this is the lib-speak method of "making him sweat."
Like a big slimy hairball?
(…he says while surveying his sleeping cats…)
I can't take credit for it, but someone pointed out that Obama has more czars right now than Russia did altogether.
Hmmmmmm.
Historical perspective and insight is not something anyone in this administration has a grasp on it would seem.
It is interesting to note that transparency is in fact something to be feared by those the extolled its virtues a mere 10 months ago.
If Yosi works in a cube farm, all the have to do to reorganize is to tack your posters up on a different spot on your cube dividers.
can we get a yosi bobble head doll and drop it into a bucket of rat ^%$ ?? thats art right?
