NPR seems obsessed with the fact that tickets have been purchased for RNC delegates for some Broadway shows, and the fact that some of the more racy shows might not appeal to the conventioneers. There was a story last night and a rather sarcastic one this morning. For one thing, I suspect that there are plenty of RNC delegates who would go to any number of shows, including the more controversial ones. For another, many will not doubt no have avant garde tastes–and so what? The tone of the pieces (especially the one this morning) had that whole “oh, look, a bunch of redneck Sunday School teachers have come to town” condescension that find itself quite amusing, but instead has a clearly insulting undercurrent.
